coin Vaughn, of the Independent party

direction to sell the old Butte high
school land. These and the ballot bear.
ing names of candidates for positions
on the boards may be voted by both
taxpayers and n~on-taxpayers register
ed in the district.

special tax levies for school financing

the rent level is due to the 10 per cent

to violations OF rent ceilings. II should
be noted that this increase in the rent

The extent Of over.ceiling viola

For example. the Bureau OF Labor

the same period, leases were filed for
