Louis County school sitEricts will reduce their tax 'rates because of Increases in real estate assessments. The districts are Webster Groves Eureka, Brentwood, Maplewood -Richmond Heights and Parkway. Superintendent Milton W. Bierbaum of the Maplewood-Richmond Heights District said he did not know how mdch the board would reduce the rate. JULY MEETINGS "Our next rgular board meeting is in July," he sold.

the board could call a special meeting this math to adjust the 1 Brentwood Superintendent 1 Rowland A. Bell said the board would reduce the rate before "any tax bills go The current Brentwood rate is $329 on the MO assessed valuadon. Morgan Selvidge, Eureka superintendent, said he didn't know when the school board would reduce 'the district's 015 levy since an official statement of the reassessment figures has not been received by the district C. Farnham, Parkway superintendent, said the present rate of $3.25 would be adjusted by the board at its next meeting Wednesday, June 21. The -Webster Groves school board is planning a reduction in-the levy, said Dr.

Herbert Schooling, district superintendent However, the amount of reduction has not yet been determined, he said. NO CHANGE UniVersity Robert S. Gilchrist said the present rate of $3.74 will not be changed since the board anticipated assessment incrases when the school levy was submitted to voters in April. The Jennings School Board also anticipated assessment increases when it set the an rate for taxpayers in the old West Walnut Manor District, now a part of the Jennings District. Thus, their rate will not be changed by the new figures.

Officials of the Wellston clis. trict said the board probably would not reduce the tax rate since assessed valuation in the district only increased six per cent. State law requires school districts to reduce their levies when total property valuation increases more than 10 per cent. Maryland Heights Superintendent James Taylor said he didn't know what the board would about adjusting the tax rate. He expected the matter would be discussed at the board's next meeting June 28.
