Eighth Grade Here Next Year
FinanCial Difficulties Make Return of Grade to
Lower Merion Impracticable, Board Says;
Salaries Cut 50;0, Same Tax Rate Adopted
An Eighth Grade will be maintain-'I
ed at the Narberth School next year.
This decision was made at th!l April
meeting of the Borough Schor.1 Hoard
held on Monday night.
A tax rate of 20 mills and $2 pel'
capita was also adopted, together
with a budget of $109,802,44. The tax
rate is the same as for this year.
In order to balance the hl1~get a

The retention of the eighth grade
at the Narberth School was made
despite a petition filed with the Board
at its March meeting by a Citizens'
Committee, recommending that "if hu-
manly possible" the Eighth Grade be
sent back to Lower Merion Junior
High School.
The Board issu~d the following
statement in explanation of itR ac-
tion: "The Board gave -:areiul con-
sideration to the possibility of rcturn-
ing the eighth grade to Lower Mer-
ion and found it entirely impral'ti-
cable at this time, in view of the ft-
nancial difficulties involvcd, By the
most careful calculation, such a
change would involve additional ex-
penditures of at least $7500, which
would require a corresponding in-
crease in the tax rate, amounting to
at least two mills in the propert~' tax
rate, or at least $2.50 in the per CllP-
'ta tax. It w-as felt to be unfnl""• and
