Good government IS a pricelessthing, and those who attempt to assayit i n t he t erms of the ir tax bills onlyare not wise. But t he present agitation regarding the h igh cost of government and the popul ar i ns is tencethat p ub li c e xp en di tu re s mus t bedrastically cut are exceeding ly wiseand salutory. It was inevitabie, therefore, that discussion of the cost ofthe independent borough governmentin Narberth should arise, and t ha t i tshould be contrasted with the tax rateand t he k ind of government whichthe people in the s-urrounding LowerMerion Township enjoy.It is entirely right and proper thatthe people of Narberth should givethis subject their most earnest consideration , f ree from prejud ice but

with a f irm detcrmination not to sellout intangible benefits of good government for some immediate savingsi n t ax es . The citizens' movcmentwhich has star ted should be encouraged to study the problem in a ll i tsa sp ec ts and f ina ll y t o r epor t to thepeople of Narberth, and those of thet owns hi p as we ll, t he complet e re suIts of their findings. That movemen t imp li es no cen su re o f t he pr es ent elected and appointed officials ofthe Borough , and there is alreadyreason to believe that those officialshave no inclination to oppose anysuch f ree and fai r di scus si on by thepeople of a sub ject whi ch concern sall of the people.It should not be assumed , whi les uc h s tu di es a re in progres s, thatNarberth has gone "brok e, ,.
