That $6500.00 is an estiM Le® <br /> We feel that $6500 spent judiciously. with some labor and materials <br /> donated - the building will be ma-terially improved. i We voted a <br /> year ago to accept this contact. It seems to me the decision now <br /> should be to give us the opportunity to get matching funds ® If <br /> not, $11,000 goes down the drain and we might as well burn tomorrow. <br /> Griffin: It seems to me we should get an estimate from a contra=.-_tor <br /> first. <br /> Benway went on to explain to Griffin that we must name some <br /> approximate figure - and that we hope and expect to get some labor <br /> and materials donated. <br /> Mrs. Larson: Is there any time limit?

Please! The reason we didn't ask for more money <br /> was because people volunteered their services - and materials. <br /> Those people didn' t come forward to fulfill their promises - if <br /> they had, the monies asked for would have been ample as far as we <br /> are concerned® <br />
