By JERI SEELY We received several answers to our question of last week on reading the claims . . . most answering that they did indeed read the claims. One reader from North Webster also commented, “School boards also handle a tremendous amount of money. I think they should also be made to account for it as the commissioners do.” Another letter came from Etna Green with the writer stating he doesn’t always get to read the claims due to his business taking him out of town at times. However, he does hear comments in his traveling around the community. The author, whomever he or she may be, wrote a very interesting letter which can not be printed because of our policy not to print unsigned letters.

So Mr., Mrs., or Miss, whoever you are, if you will send us your name we will be glad to print your letter.
