 amended to read as follows:
   (d) Such district superintendent shall also determine what  proportion

 valuation  of  real property in such part of a city or town by the total
 of all such full valuations of real property in  such  school  district.
 Such proportions shall be expressed in the nearest exact ten thousandths
 and  the  school  authorities  of such school district shall levy such a
 proportion of any tax to be raised in the  school  district  during  the
 current  school  year  upon each part of a city or town included in such
 school district as shall have been determined  by  the  district  super-
 intendent.  A  new  proportion  shall be determined for each school year
 thereafter  by  the  district  superintendent  in  accordance  with  the
 provisions  of  this  section  by  the use of the [latest] CURRENT state
 equalization rates THEN IN EFFECT.  In any such school district that  is
 not within the jurisdiction of a district superintendent of schools, the

 ing the date on which it shall have become a law.
