Dear Editor,

Well, it’s time to start saving money. First, there’s the trees you ordered for the parking strip that Mayor Greg Nickels thought we should have. Should be watered by property owners.

The city could reduce the water bill a little for that. Instead, we have two men and a big water tank to do this. What is it costing the taxpayers for this? Two men’s pay, gas, wear and tear on the trucks …?

I like the new idea about the parks closing some and the town that have chosen to be cities of their own should care for the parks. That will cut all these taxes that Seattle taxpayers have to shoulder. It will bring their town people closer if they keep up their own parks.

Give some of the parks back to the wild and the poor animals will get back to the woods. Where would you go to eat if someone took all your berries, trees, bushes, living places? You would go to find food and a new place.

So, please don’t blame our wild life. They were here before any of our houses!
