The Alberton Papers #18
By Dick Darne 5-2 06
This is in response to the unsigned, ill informed, and erroneous letter circulating around town. Obviously, this person has never read Alberton Paper #7, or is concerned with the truth. Lets address this in their order in the letter. A reading of the minutes of the meetings will reveal that Mr. Rufus was a participating member of the now defunct alberton planning commission, actively preparing for the building of the "gazebo-pavillion". A check of the bills associated with the gazebo shows one for $1379.40, 8-14-05, paid to MG enterprises, Mr. Rufus’ company. A further check of the minutes reveals an estimated cost of $6000.. It appears we have spent so far, from available records, at least $6319.21. At this writing, I don’t know what funds were available, but we do know that the costs have exceeded the original estimate, with the material not installed. There has been no discussion of "not wanting it completed", rather I have called for qualified volunteers at two town meetings and in Alberton Papers #7. The materials were originally left on the ground, sinking well into the dirt, before my term began. I, along with James, re-stacked the materials properly. Finally, all my postings are signed and I can back up all my statements. Do we have here the makings of a sequel to the chickens#!^ essay? Come out in the open. Dick Darne
