Raleigh, June 16. —Definite policies with regard to the creation of city and county school administrative units, as well as with regard to the use of school buses, were developed by the State School Commission in the two days meeting just completed here this week in addition to its ac tion in approving 40 cities and towns ias administraive units. None of the 40 administrative units approved have a school population of less than 1.500 children, it was pointed out today, and so far as possible the commis sion hopes to hold the units approved to this figure, although there may be exceptions where geographical or oth er conditions may make it necessary to approve units of only 1,000 school population. While the commission has not as yet decided upon the actual limits of any of the 40 administrative school units so far approved, it indicated that it would insist that the limits be determined with a view to securing the greatest educational efficiency and economy within the unit, rather than with a view to including areas that would be most likely to vote for supplemental taxes. There are al ready several units that want to ar range the boundaries of their units so that certain areas, such as mill villages, would be excluded, with oth er more prosperous sections included, 'evidently in (the belief that it will be easier to get the voters in these more prosperous areas to vote for supplemental taxes than in the others The school commission, however, is taking the position that the question i of whether or not a certain section of a city or town administration unit may be unfavorable to the levying of supplemental taxes should have noth ing to do with fixing the limits of a unit.
