Quad Commu y Press <br />4779 Dl0 AvenUe <br />Whi ear Lake, MN 55110 <br />To The Editor, <br />A 44- <br />*4-1/A <br />We have never objected to paying taxes. A recent near <br />catastrophe showed us what excellent services our local tax <br />dollars bring us. A furnace fire due to a faulty switch set <br />off our smoke alarm. Soon smoke was billowing through the <br />house. A few minutes after we called 911 Circle Pines -Lexington <br />police arrived followed by fire trucks from the Centennial Fire <br />District. <br />The fire was put out so promptly and expertly our home <br />sustained little damage. Firemen used a powerful fan and some <br />water spray, so our furniture and belongs sustained almost'no <br />water damage. <br />One of the policemen phoned our son informing him of the <br />fire but telling him we were all right. He also reassured <br />our anxious neighbors. Fire Chief Milo Bennett proved himself <br />not only thoroughly professional in the way he directed his <br />well trained men but was also sensitive to our fears. Fire <br />Marshall Kathy Mischke treated our possessions with the consi- <br />deration she would have given her own and was friendly, reassuring <br />and helpful. <br />How could anyone complain about local taxes that are so <br />well spent! <br />�// cc:e Lit.; <br />Grace and Andy Gibas <br />Circle Pines <br />Copies to Cities of: <br />Centerville <br />Circle Pines <br />Lexington <br />�ino Lakes <br />
