     4    (d)  Such district superintendent shall also determine what proportion
     5  of any tax to be levied in such  school  district  for  school  purposes
     6  during  the current school year shall be levied upon each part of a city
     7  or town included in such school district by dividing the sum of the full
     8  valuation of real property in such part of a city or town by  the  total
     9  of  all  such  full valuations of real property in such school district.
    10  Such proportions shall be expressed in the nearest exact ten thousandths
    11  and the school authorities of such school district  shall  levy  such  a
    12  proportion  of  any  tax  to be raised in the school district during the
    13  current school year upon each part of a city or town  included  in  such
    14  school  district  as  shall  have been determined by the district super-
