Ing near at hand The law involves the
appraisal Of all school property IN the
several districts, the inhabitants being
assessed to pay for it. Then sum equal
to the value of the property will be divided
pro rata among the districts The object
Of this is to equalze the ownership Of
school property Some districts have fine
school buildings which the citizens taxed
themselves to erect, while others have
houses which are not more than sheds.
1t would hardly be fair to turn this prop
erty all over to the town, hence the
equalization.
