A "shabby" tree. What else was to be expected from an editor who, ten years ago, in pursuit of a supermarket, considered all of Summer Street "shabby"? Notwithstanding some fine examples of New England architecture, including the single most important example of Italianate architecture of the state (to be demolished for a loading dock), the editor, along with the very same agencies afoot now, then deemed appropriate a 20 feet high, 200 foot long concrete block wall imprisoning Summer Street and its residents. A fallacy that common sense and a comprehensive court stopped. And if anyone, who then promoted that 35,000 square foot supermarket, but did not understand scale, now observes the same supermarket south of town, would they still deem it appropriate looming over Summer Street? Would this editor not be better employed in pursuit of the chicanery that evolved around a very suspect non-bid design/build contract; in providing to the already overburdened Randolph taxpayer, an objective analysis of why a $1.2 million dollar bond issue was necessary for a town office building program that any competent contractor could accomplish for half that cost? It is a question that remains malodorously unanswered. William Kevan Randolph ____________ |
