112 STATION BULLETIN 346 



residents of District A should wish to continue transporting high 

 school pupils at public expense, an additional assessment against the 

 property in District A could be levied. This would amount to eleven 

 cents per $100 of assessed valuation in that district, thus increasing 

 the tax rate to $1.51, leaving the District B rate unchanged at $1.40. 



No apparent plan appears available to the residents of District B 

 whereby they can improve on their existing educational facilities 

 without increased costs. The fact still remains, however, that with 

 an additional annual property tax of between twenty and thirty cents 

 per $100 of assessed valuation, the residents of District B might avail 

 themselves of a modern eight-room school, providing, of course, that 

 arrangements satisfactory to both districts can be devised. 



Undoubtedly there are many situations in which school districts 

 can benefit by organizing unions. It is particularly important that, 

 when individual school districts contemplate a heavy investment in 

 new school buildings, they have recourse to the financial statistics of 

 adjoining districts and calculate all conceivable plans whereby these 

 districts might coordinate their educational activities
