if one district was to adopt it and
you lived just across tho line in
another, although you might bo in

not more than a dozen or so who
do it. Each pupil living inside
costs Dahlonegas tax pavers $2.50
per month. And last but not least,
if we lix it so each county can lew
a school tax, after awhile these big
counties, who pay out more money
than they receive for school pur-
purposes, .will say to the
