Consolidation Effect on Dauphin-Ochre District 905
E Johansen, secretary treasurer, outlined fiscal outcomes if about 30 scattered quarter sections near land in school district No 905 consolidate with the C group or remain in A group. He calculated $75,000 assessed value producing $2,100 in A group taxes and a $32 loss for Cc group, with net consolidation cost around $2,132, slightly higher than tax gains. Remaining in A group yields a $660 annual gain for rural schools, with $1,440 in potential non-resident fees if 32 pupils join C group, while elementary transport costs for A would stay $880 if consolidation occurs.
