TO THE TOWN COUNCIL OF EDGD~ATER:
The undersigned citizens of Edgewater are con-
vinced that all matters pertaining to the Florida Power
and Light project should be made public so that we can
determine for ourselves the wisdom of spending the large
sums of money which are in prospect for legal battles.
Please answer the following questions with
definite information showing our maximum liability:
1. What will it cost to continue our condemnation suit
to a final decision if our opponents take us through all
the steps to the Supreme Court of Florida?
2. What are our prospects of eventually winning? Do we
have an airtight case as we have been led to believe?
3. Is it true that the foundation of our case was undermined
by political maneuvering and that we are now at a distinct
disadvantage?
4. Is it true that it is estimated that our legal responsi-
bility for the current year will reach $5,000.00 and that
it is possible that the case will drag out for three more
years?
). Is it true that recent events in connection with this
project have been so discouraging that our attorney is con-
fused as to what to do next?
