LETTERS
TO THE
EDITOR
TO THE EDITOR:
I am sure that we all know
that the bridge here in Mill
City is antiquated and in need
of general repair; but, more
than that, it is a hazard to all
who traverse it!
As a bicyclist, I have had
several close calls that could
have been very serious. Need-i
less to say, that I am not the '
only one. Many of our child­
ren here in Mill City depend
on their "bike*” for transporta­
tion, how many of them will
have to be injured or killed
. before anything will be done.
The state is supposed to use
1% of the highway fund to
provide adequate and safe
routes for bicyclists.
' I called the state highway
department on this issue and
was given the complete run­
around. Maybe a few letters
would make them take notice
Just repairing the ruts wcul'
help!
Sincerely,
STEVEN M. HOEYE
The energy
crunch is real.
We’ll continue to do every­
thing we can...with your
help...so that you never
get to that last straw.
There’s still time. In the Northwest,
we still have time to do something
about an adequate supply of future
electricity by conserving energy,
working together to establish
power plant sites and keeping
new plant construction on
schedule.
You can help by conserv­
ing energy. And one of
the best ways is through
insulation. New homes
properly insulated to
good conservation
practices can save
on heating costs. And that
is an important energy sav­
ing, too.
Our region will still need
new plants. Even with good
conservation practices there
will still be a need to build new
power plants to meet future
energy needs due to our region’s
growth, environmental clean-up
and possible shortages of alternate
energies.
We need to work together.
With
both of us working together to conserve
energy and complete new power plants on
schedule... we’ll have the energy ready
when you need it.
