Fees , taxes , geological <br /> reports , soil and water sampling and untold other costs have <br /> little trouble beginning to out distance the value of <br /> property . <br /> Your response to our June 4 , 1991 , letter gives a breakdown <br /> of charges and how these figures were selected .

With <br /> more charges to follow , we must wonder - when will we be <br /> finished with this seemingly never ending project? The <br /> alternative looks better every day . We probably should have <br />
