I w111 be unable to attend the heari~ concern- ing the construction of a hi~h-rlse apartment across County Road B troll the Brimhall Elellental'7 School. I do, none- the-less, have an oplnion to express ooncerning thls proposed. construction, and heraw1th I shall convey 1t to you. 0'1, ij~t' l' ~ l ~~vc J.,.... ~~ ~~ . ~,., ;\\ Kf.: f~ ~Vt 'ft.";'l ~r' '. :(~ r- e" ::i:. ~' J,#r ~ ~~ ~~ tt;;, ~" 'l" 1 .
