This constant barrage of "Perturbed" type letters may lead people to believe that one person or a very small group may be responsible for all of these type letters.

The cost will be greater as time goes by. If the $275,000 difference in the construction of the 30room building is the means of eliminating the two fire traps (the two elementary schools now in use) then that alone is
