Town Meeting Possible.
Should the school committee disre-
gard the petition, steps will be taken
at once for the calling of special
town meeting to have Showalter re-
moved in spite of the school COM
mittee's wishes. In the event that
such drive is started interesting de-
velopments and questions of the town
meetings power over the school COM
mittee and its duly appointed servants
are expected to arise and will be
threshed out to the last ditch, Sho-
walters friends assert.
Superintendent B. r. Showalter late
today secured from the state board OF
education statistics Showing COM
parison in costs Of operating schools
between Berlin and other towns of the
state and also the state average.
These figures are based upon the
average registration and represent
the cost per pupil. In elementary
schools the cost in Berlin is s51.45;
East Windsor, $57.42; Pennington,
$56.16; Portland, $63.72; Suffield,
s65.51; Wethersfield, s61.73.
The average cost per pupil in High
school in Berlin is $161.7o; East
Windsor, s146.37; Pennington,
s11s.sS; Portland. s1aa.24; sufield,
s14S; Wethersf1eld, $144.7o.
According to figures submitted SUI
perintendent Showalter states that
Berlin pays a higher rate for non
local High school tuition than any
other in the state.
The expenditure per pupil in aver
age registration for the state is 5000.
For Berlin it is s57.57 nearly $40 be-
low the state average.
These figures which have been Sc
cured from the state board of educa-
ton show that the schools of Berlin
are being conducted on more eco
nomical basis than majority OF
schools throughout the state.
