The rate, which is one of the lowest in the county ind which is the lowest reached by the town of Berlin within the past tive ye came as a surprise in view of the fact that the budget for this year as approved by a meeting of the voters last fall, was slightly higher than that of the preceding year and the grand list was only slightly greater. The grand list as made public several days ago fol- lowing the work of the board of re- licf was $60,000 above that of last vear's.

Whether or not this will be at- tempted in Berlin is a matter of conjecture, but, if it is tried, it will involve additional expense little re- alized by the laymen, according to several members of the board. The use of the two-plattoon plan would involve additional teachers and | would almost double the present payroll of the junior high school in- structors. One matter which may be settled at the mecting tomorrow night is the resignation of E. O. Shjerden, announced last week. Action on this matter was tabled at the last meet- inz of the school board and it was learned that an attempt would be made to have Mr. Shjerden recon- sider his action.
