The cost ot transportation Is al so assessed to the non-high school districts on the basis of assessed valuation. Sufficient tax Is levied by the county court to provide each district f ft a year lor each pupil transported throughout the year. The county boundary board composed of the county court and the county school superintendent determine the routes for school busses and the maximum amount to bo paid annually tor trans por ta ting pupils. This county has set $40 as the maximum annual pay ment for transporting one pupil. Yearly Charge Are Fond Increasing; Experience in most counties in the state shows that the yearly ehargea for high school tuition and transportation have been steadily rising. In 1131 .in this county total tuition charges aggre gated fS3.71i. The estimate for this year for these charges is $94 034. Transportation charges last year were budgeted at 129,811 while this year they have risen to $35,440. As a result tht non-high school districts last year were as sessed 9.1 mills tor transportation and tuition while this coming year the assessment has gone up to $.6. Districts such. as Mt. Angel as sert they are paying $5000 to $$000 annually through this tax yet are sending 'no pupils away on anra are receiving virtually no nwp from the tuition fund. Has Brought About Union District Boons In some areas the non-high school district taxation has helped to bring about the formation of union high schools. St Paul, for example, has a union high school district for which the assessment last year was four mills. The other union high school district in the county is at Gervals where the charge last year was five mills. Many districts have been slow to become unionized for two rea sons: The first is that the union high school must tax Itself for transportation, or else let Its pu pils make their own way to the school. Thus patrons of non-union districts have felt that while their taxes may have been higher than those in the high school or union high school district, the service re ceived was more satisfactory. The second reason against unionization of districts is the fear of incoming taxpayers that costs of new build ings would be forced upon them. Resulting higher taxes, these tax payers feel, would wipe out any difference existing In the annual costs now shown between the un ion high school and non-high ' school districts.
