increases the expense of maintain
ing rural school materially. The
other law makes it mandatory on a
town board to call a consolidation

ton. If village is included in the
proposed consolidated district, the ru-
raj and village votes are counted sep
arately and there must be favorable
vote in both sections for the PROPOSE
