Letters to the editor

A misunderstanding

Dear Editor: There certainly has been a misunderstanding. In the four years that I have been trustee of Van Buren Township there never has been in the budget an appropriation for salary for a lifeguard. In 1977 and 1978 there has not been an appropriation for the Milford town park, although there has been for “summer recreation’’ as advised by the state board of accounts. Last year the town board received the whole amount. This year, after attending a few of the “T” ball games and seeing how many young people are taking an active part in the “Baseball Boosters Program,’’ it seems more than fair, and I am sure you agree, that they should share in
