Stark said he believes this is
not the proper way to finance

"If we need special .school

ihe money through taxes," the
board president said.
Stark explained that he ob-
jects to the practice from three
different standpoints:
• He does not feel that pay-
ment of a emmission to the
schools should be a condition for
a firm to provide a service to
district patrons.
• He objects to teachers
