The latest round in the long simmering dispute between the Township of Hohokus (now called Mahwah) and the Ramsey High School authorities over tuition costs was a formal presentation by the Township’s lawyers to the State Education Commissioner. The firm of Chanless and Weller presented the Township’s contention that the cost of building the new High School should be calculated as the true local cost, deducting the amount of the state grants to the Ramsey School Board. This would reduce the per person charges for out of town students by $13.15 a year. Ramsey authorities countered that they had only been following regulations as to how to calculate those costs.
