PLEASANT, o Be thoughtful property Parents, do you know where your kids are? Some of you dont or your dont really care where they are cr what they are doing. Reports have come in concerning the bulbs that have been taken out or shot off the lovely Christmas tree in Mt. Pleasant. Perhaps the young kids doing this dont really realize that is being unfair to the many citizens of the community who enjoy a lovely tree at Christmas time. Also they apparently dont realize that each of these globes, a size made especially for this use, will cost the City $1.59 each to replace. So far this year, more than 100 bulbs have been taken or shot from the tree. Anyone found guilt of this thoughtless destruction of public property will be held responsible for the bill. The City is also very concerned over the cost of replacing street lights which have been shot out or broken with rocks by disrespectful individuals. So far this year, it has cost the City $900 to replace thd lights destroyed be vandals. This is money that could be put to better use in the community. It is the obligation of any citizen knowing who is responsbile fo these destructful acts to report them to the City authorities.

This is showing up in increased sales tax revenue anticipated by Mt. Pleasant City this year. Last year the City collected approximately $16,000 in sales tax revenue. This year, the City is anticipating $20,000.
