Mr.. Eisenberg, owner of the Dis

County, said his daughter had
attended the KenilWorth Elemen-

that this is her third year at Eliot.
In previous years. he has received
credit on the tuition charge be-

pays on his District property. he
said.
The fight over payment of tu-

has been going on for years. Ex-

settle the matter in the 1947 APP
