Union School Sections
Union School Sections.
Chap. 20.—In the case of a Union School Section not legally formed before, but made legal under the amended school law of 1877, if any of the sections has incurred expenditure for school houses on its own authority, it is legalized and is to be reimbursed by the union.—the amount to be determined by arbitration, if the majority of the assessed freeholders and householders do not agree with the union trustees. The re-imbursement is to be made out of the rates of the next year, or of a series not exceeding ten years, or according to the terms of any outstanding debentures, and the house becomes the property of the union. Payments of taxes heretofore made to the section or the union are valid and discharge the ratepayer.
