I recommend that every taxpayer and especially you, Mr. Fairbanks, and the attorney general read the story by Mark Twain, The Man that corrupted Hadley Burg. My fellow citizens and tax- payers owe no one an apology and neither does the press. Last year was our centennial and we were all waving our flags for our democracy, our constitution and for the freedom of the press. Now what do we have here? Some bright mind that would suppress our freedoms and the most important one. Freedom of the Press. That will be the day when we cannot question what our elected officials are doing.

Mr. Fairbanks, 96 the garbage in the States is disposed of and fill which is OKd of all United by cut by the EPA. There is not one recycling operation in the United States today that is profitable. The only way that Gear Air can come out is by charging an exorbitant fee for the taxpayers to dump, thus enabling 2 or 3 elected officials to recoup their losses and 1 Action at the polls through important will not be enough.

The decision of what items are bid separately is made by the board, the architect, and the superintendent. A lot depends on inflation, on estimates prior to actually awarding bids, etc. in addition to multiple bidding, we offer warehousing and full payment of materials delivered if purchased on district purchase orders. This does two things: It takes the inflationary costs out of materials which can be purchased as soon as the bid is awarded instead of six months to a year after when the builder needs them and when he can take them into the It saves the sales building. tax on the materials ordered and paid for directly by the district. So what does of this have to do with the need for a new building inspector What it does is supervisor? that it places a terrific burden on the architect for handling the documents and the multiple bids and on the superintendent to interface between the board, the educators, the builder, and the architect.
