Readers' forum: Cyprus High not old

Build, spend, waste | 7:58 a.m. Nov. 4, 2009

I came to Logan, Utah, almost thirty years ago. They had a nice, friendly, uncrowded library. Then they abandoned it and built a new one. The old building is still there and looks perfectly sound and seems to be in use.

Now the new library is to be cast off apparently as they have planned a 70,000 square foot building at an estimated cost of twenty millions of taxpayers' money.

Why couldn't they have built a second Logan branch library in the first place and, as the population grew, to plan a third branch instead of this mania to build bigger buildings and juast abandon the old ones? It would be nice for people to have a small local branch library rather than an expensive new monolith, to be abandoned no doubt in another decade or two.

These people seem to have little sense or restraint. They are ever restless and cannot seem to sleep at night unless they have some new expensive project and commensurate new debt, never giving the poor taxpayer a rest or a break.
