It was one grand week of activity,

endin/{ on Saturday by taking part in

the mammoth picnic and parade con

ducted by the Main Line Boy Coun

that i t l i terally made a p ar ad e in it se lf

Wayne. Corpo ra l L ipp and two of

his assistants of the S tate Pol ice De

traversed a d is ta nc e of one and seve'n

tenths miles, e nd ing on the Radnor

for a 101;g time wa s granted by the

Narberth School Board on i ts $55.000

bond i ssue which was recently pu t on

the market.The E. H. Rollins Company, of

Phi ladelphia. were high bidders on the

offering. Their bid will net t he Schoo l

District a premium of $1729.15. The

n e ~ t . hi gh es t compe titive bid woul d

have netted a p remium of $1490. and

the lowest, $311.

This figure, which IS considered a

r emar kabl e pric e for a small ho nd issue, is due t o the low indeh tedness o fthe Narherth School District, which

is $48.000, contrasted with the $5,000.
