~~~ith regard to location by electrical lines.

the use of a two-year note, the residents would be ~aying
approximately 510-11 more per month in ren~a Us9.ng a
five-year note, the residents would be paying approximatcly
~5-6 more per month in rent.
P4s. 7~ois Mandel, a resident of the Park, stated that shc
felt most residents of ihe Park would be ~villing to pay the
