 School Board to Meet
 The school board will meet on thursday night for discussion or plans to relieve the school cong2s- ton in the kensington grammar school, as well as to take action on the letter of resignation sent in to Chairman Daniel Malarney Of tne School board. Although the plans Of the school board were defeated at the polls several weeks ago. the members of the board arc still on- tlmlstic of achieving relief in some term this year, As vet no plaas nave been made public, but it is thought that the discussion Thurs cay night will focus itself upon other methods of solving the Berlin school problem.
 At the present time it is thought that the one outstanding plan which IS meeting with tayora ble comment rom many town residents, an ad u't'on 10 the present school will be offered by the school committee in lieu Of that turned down at the polls. This plan, which has been in the minds of many since the recent campaign and which includes the building of an adeuucte school house either adjoining or direc1'y attached to the present gramma,. school building, has been discussed by both the board Of finance ana the town school committee. Tn. reason why this plans was not pre- sented to the townspeople for ap- proVal was that it would eliminate all playground room and would not allow for future expansion. How ever, as the construction of an en- tirely new building was so decidedly rejected at the polls, it is believed that this scheme will now be offered for the approval of the townspeople.
 Finance Board to Meet
 The finance board will meet some tune this week to set the tax rate for the coming year. Last years tax rate was 16 1-2 mills and, as the budget has undergone only slight change from last years, it is believ- ed that there will be very little change in the rate this year.
 The final rate depends upon the action of the school board meeting Thursday night. Although the finance board may meet and set the rate some time before the school board conNenes. there is possi- bllity that the finance board will meet later in special session to take any action made necessary by the meeting Of the school board.
