enrolment figures from each district covering the last three years
and have propos ed a survey of the present whereabouts and occupations

to Mr. Brooks by September 12th. Mr. Brooks will consolidate these
answers, and the Committee "trill discuss them at the next meeting.
_ Mr. Jones discuss ed the Millage Computation vrhich he
prepared of the four school districts, based on Mr. MacDonald's
report and guided by the experience of Selkirk College. Considerable
discussion followed, at which time it was pointed out that the validity
of the figures was dependent upon the assumption that costs should be
based on the number of students attending from each participating
district, but that other bases were possible and should be examined
before the agreement is finally drawn.

That Mr. Brooks have this aspect of
inter-board agreement submitted to
Davis, MacConnell, Ralston, with a view
to obtaining alternative bases of
allocating costs.

that donnitories will not be necessary durin g the first yea rs or

student living quarters will have to be established.
It was agreed that each school board should contact the
