[quote="publius"]$300,000!!!!!!!!!! For that kind of money it could be bought, fixed up and lived in. Think of it as a cost-effective means to get housing in Cranbury. Maybe, it would even satisfy a COAH obligation somehow. But, really, it should be saved and repaired. Perhaps, the money spent on the white elephant baseball field could've been used for the tower? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?????????????????????? How about taking up a collection and having some fundraisers?[/quote]
