Many Local Units Want To
Hold Elections For Sup
plemental Taxes
Dally Diapatch Rnreni*.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY J. C. BASKERVILL.
Raleigh, June 3.—The State School
Commission spent the entire day
studying the new school law and try
ing to work out a definite policy for
the setting up of administrative dis
tricts, in its meeting here yesterday.
'Substantial progress was made in ar
riving at a basis for determining both
the sizee of these districts and their
boundaries, according to Leßoy-Mar
tin, executive secretary of + he com
mission. *
Applications from morte than 60
cities and towns that want to be set
up as separate administrative units,
and thus be entitled to hold an elec
tion as to whether or not they may
levy supplemental taxes with which
to augment the Statewide eight
months school term or provide for a
'ninth month, were before the com
mission. Many of these are asking
that the limits of the administrative
units be extended outside the city
limits or beyond the former district
lines, so that they may take in enough
additional school population io be en
titled to levy supplemental taxes. Un
der the new law, a minimum school
population of 1,000 school children is
required of any area that desires to
be set up as an administrative unit.
But before the commission could
act upon any of these applications it
was necessary for it to arrive at some
definite policy and to determine a uni
form method of procedure so that it
could treat all applications alike.
W|hile no announcement was made of
the policies arrived at it was inti
mated .that material .progress had
been made toward this goal.
The commission also had before it
•a list of most of the city and county
superintendents in the State who have
/been elected by the various city and
county boards of education. Under
the new school law the election of all
these superintendents must be ap
proved by the State School Commis
sion. i
