Re: 1912 MHS

[Linda Pall <lpall@moscow.com>]

Dear Walter, 

When you excerpt my e-mails, please do not change the meaning of my original
information. 

I said:

"More than a thousand people over the past three years have specifically
supported the renovation of the 1912 building with thir money, THEIR VOICES,
THEIR ATTENDANCE AT MANY PUBLIC MEETINGS AND THEIR SIGNATURES ON PETITIONS."

Walter, there are well over a thousand people who have been out there on the
hustings. There were 178 people who gave approximately $160,000 to buy the
building so that NOT A SINGLE tax dollar had to be ante-ed for that purpose.

However you feel about the project, I hope you will join in the ultimate
decision the council makes on this.

All the best, even yet,

Linda
