But, the school figure is so high and the data at hand at present so meagre that one should hesitate to use that figure ex- cept after a very thorough examina- tion of the school records to ascer- tain whether some of the disburse- ments as published in the school treasurer’s réport might not be ex- cluded as not properly an item of operating expense, The high cost of Bismarck’s muni- cipal government is further accen- tuated by its comparison with cities in Group V which range from 30,000 to 60,000 population and therefore are nearest to Bismarck in size. Be- low are 20 cities from this group including some of those with the highest per capita costs.
