cient additional term to bring the mini

The apportionment was arrived at
as follows:

term of less than 80 days after having
levied the maximum tax of Is cents on
each hundred dollars valuation Of
property and As cents on each taxable
poll, were apportioned sufficient funds
on the basis of teachers salaries to
bring their term of 80 days.

term of 80 days, together with those Of
the first group Chose with less than
80 days terms) were apportioned suf-
ficient funds to bring their terms to
