For many years, the union high school plan has been
discussed in Malheur county, but it was not until recently

The attorney general, in an opinion to the district attor

educating non-resident high school students whether the
money was in the treasury or not. As a result thereof the
county superintendent was compelled to and did issue war
rants to the districts in the sum of $18,000 in excess of
money in the treasury. Additional taxes must be levied in
1932 to pay those warrants. In 1931 the sum of $24,425.95

$9.00 on each $1000 of assessed value. The development
of the Vale, O regon Irrigation District with the addition
