Ford, Eugene, state legislative chair man, reported to the board on specific bills of interest to the League which have been in troduced In the 1957 session of the legislature. The league is again strongly s u p p o r ting reorganization of school districts and an increase in the basis school fund. Accord ing to Mrs. Ford, "The member ship of the league has been in agreement since 1950 that our primary problems exist in the areas of school district re-organization and school finance and that the two problems are close ly .inter-related. We strongly supported reorganization of school districts in the 1951 and 1953 sessions of the legislature and we are this year support ing house bill 163. This bill would not change all school dis trict boundries by any means but would set up a means by which all school boundries would be examined in the hope that more effective, efficient and economical districts would re sult." Other measures the league will support include a constitutional amendment allowing counties to adopt "Home Rule" charters and an extension of the meat inspec tion law passed at the 1955 ses sion.
