	The/at-tl Providence/np-tl Journal/nn-tl editorial/nn (/( Jan./np 25/cd )/) entitled/vbn ``/`` East/jj-tl Greenwich/np-tl Faces/vbz-tl A/at-tl Housing/nn-tl Development/nn-tl Problem/nn-tl ''/'' points/vbz to/in a/at dilemma/nn that/wps faces/vbz communities/nns such/jj as/cs ours/pp$$ ./.
Your/pp$ suggested/vbn solution/nn ,/, it/pps seems/vbz to/in me/ppo ,/, is/bez grossly/ql oversimplified/vbn and/cc is/bez inconsistent/jj with/in your/pp$ generally/ql realistic/jj attitude/nn toward/in ,/, and/cc endorsement/nn of/in ,/, sound/jj planning/nn ./.


	First/od of/in all/abn there/ex is/bez ample/jj area/nn in/in East/jj-tl Greenwich/np-tl already/rb zoned/vbn in/in the/at classification/nn similar/jj to/in that/dt which/wdt petitioner/nn requested/vbd ./.
This/dt land/nn is/bez in/in various/jj stages/nns of/in development/nn in/in several/ap locations/nns throughout/in the/at town/nn ./.
The/at demand/nn for/in these/dts lots/nns can/md be/be met/vbn for/in some/dti time/nn to/to come/vb ./.
This/dt would/md seem/vb to/to indicate/vb that/cs we/ppss are/ber trying/vbg neither/cc ``/`` to/to halt/vb an/at influx/nn of/in migrants/nns ''/'' nor/cc are/ber we/ppss ``/`` setting/vbg up/rp such/jj standards/nns for/in development/nn that/cs only/rb the/at well-to-do/jj could/md afford/vb to/to buy/vb land/nn and/cc build/vb in/in the/at new/jj sites/nns ''/'' ./.


	What/wdt we/ppss are/ber attempting/vbg to/to do/do is/bez achieve/vb and/cc maintain/vb a/at balance/nn between/in medium/jj density/nn and/cc low/jj density/nn residential/jj areas/nns and/cc industrial/jj and/cc commercial/jj development/nn ./.
It/pps is/bez in/in fact/nn entirely/ql consistent/jj with/in your/pp$ suggestion/nn of/in modest/jj industrial/jj development/nn to/to help/vb pay/vb governmental/jj costs/nns ./.
Bostitch/np ,/, Inc./vbn-tl is/bez approximately/rb half/abn way/nn through/in a/at 10-year/jj exemption/nn of/in their/pp$ real/jj estate/nn tax/nn ./.
The/at wisdom/nn of/in granting/vbg such/jj tax/nn exemptions/nns is/bez another/dt matter/nn ,/, but/cc this/dt particular/jj instance/nn is/bez ,/, in/in my/pp$ opinion/nn ,/, completely/ql satisfactory/jj ./.
The/at 1960/cd tax/nn book/nn for/in East/jj-tl Greenwich/np-tl indicates/vbz a/at valuation/nn for/in this/dt property/nn in/in excess/nn of/in two/cd million/cd dollars/nns ./.
With/in our/pp$ current/jj $3/nns per/in hundred/cd tax/nn rate/nn ,/, it/pps is/bez safe/jj to/to assume/vb that/cs this/dt will/nn qualify/vb when/wrb you/ppss suggest/vb a/at community/nn should/md ``/`` try/vb to/to develop/vb a/at modest/jj industrial/jj plant/nn ''/'' as/cs the/at best/jjt way/nn to/to meet/vb these/dts problems/nns ./.


	In/in order/nn to/to attract/vb additional/jj industry/nn that/wps is/bez compatible/jj with/in this/dt community/nn it/pps is/bez all/abn the/at more/ql important/jj to/to present/vb to/in the/at industrial/jj prospect/nn an/at orderly/jj balance/nn in/in the/at tax/nn structure/nn ./.
As/cs this/dt tax/nn base/nn grows/vbz so/cs then/rb can/md your/pp$ medium/jj and/cc low/jj density/nn residential/jj areas/nns grow/vb ./.
Mr./np Richard/np Preston/np ,/, executive/jj director/nn of/in the/at New/jj-tl Hampshire/np-tl State/nn-tl Planning/vbg-tl and/cc-tl Development/nn-tl Commission/nn-tl ,/, in/in his/pp$ remarks/nns to/in the/at Governors/nns-tl Conference/nn-tl on/in-tl Industrial/jj-tl Development/nn-tl at/in Providence/np on/in October/np 8/cd ,/, 1960/cd ,/, warned/vbd against/in the/at fallacy/nn of/in attempting/vbg to/to attract/vb industry/nn solely/rb to/to reduce/vb the/at tax/nn rate/nn or/cc to/to underwrite/vb municipal/jj services/nns such/jj as/cs schools/nns when/wrb he/pps said/vbd :/: ``/`` If/cs this/dt is/bez the/at fundamental/jj reason/nn for/in a/at community's/nn$ interest/nn or/cc if/cs this/dt is/bez the/at basic/jj approach/nn ,/, success/nn if/cs any/dti will/md be/be difficult/jj to/to obtain/vb ''/'' ./.
He/pps went/vbd on/rp to/to say/vb :/: ``/`` In/in the/at first/od place/nn ,/, industry/nn per/in se/fw-ppl is/bez not/* dedicated/vbn to/in the/at role/nn of/in savior/nn of/in foundering/vbg municipalities/nns ./.

If/cs they/ppss are/ber to/to be/be commended/vbn for/in foresight/nn in/in their/pp$ planning/nn ,/, what/wdt then/rb is/bez the/at judgment/nn of/in a/at town/nn council/nn that/wps compounds/vbz this/dt problem/nn during/in the/at planning/vbg stage/nn ?/. ?/.

I/ppss submit/vb that/cs it/pps cannot/md* be/be dismissed/vbn simply/rb by/in saying/vbg we/ppss are/ber not/* facing/vbg the/at facts/nns of/in life/nn ./.

	I/ppss feel/vb compelled/vbn to/to write/vb this/dt because/cs I/ppss am/bem greatly/rb concerned/vbn with/in the/at problem/nn of/in community/nn growth/nn rate/nn and/cc the/at relation/nn between/in types/nns of/in growth/nn in/in a/at town/nn such/abl as/cs East/jj-tl Greenwich/np-tl ./.

	The/at Providence/np Sunday/nr Journal/nn-tl article/nn (/( Jan./np 29/cd )/) asking/vbg whether/cs American/jj taxpayers/nns are/ber being/beg victimized/vbn by/in a/at gigantic/jj giveaway/nn to/to pay/vb for/in the/at care/nn of/in war/nn veterans/nns who/wps have/hv non-service-connected/jj disabilities/nns sounds/vbz as/cs though/cs The/at-tl Providence/np-tl Journal/nn-tl is/bez desperate/jj for/in news/nn ./.
Usually/rb a/at veteran/nn has/hvz to/to hang/vb himself/ppl to/to get/vb space/nn on/in the/at front/jj page/nn ./.


	On/in the/at question/nn of/in admission/nn to/in Veterans/nns-tl Administration/nn-tl hospitals/nns of/in service-connected/jj and/cc non-service-connected/jj disabled/vbn veterans/nns ,/, it/pps must/md be/be recognized/vbn that/cs there/ex are/ber many/ap men/nns who/wps are/ber greatly/rb affected/vbn by/in war/nn service/nn ./.
It/pps can/md manifest/vb itself/ppl before/in discharge/nn from/in service/nn ,/, or/cc it/pps can/md come/vb out/rp years/nns later/rbr ./.
There/ex is/bez one/cd other/ap point/nn we/ppss should/md never/rb lose/vb sight/nn of/in :/: Many/ap veterans/nns who/wps enter/vb VA/nn hospitals/nns as/cs non-service/nn cases/nns later/rbr qualify/vb as/ql service-connected/jj ./.
No/at psychiatrist/nn could/md tell/vb me/ppo that/cs the/at experience/nn in/in a/at war/nn can/md not/* have/hv its/pp$ effect/nn in/in the/at ensuing/vbg years/nns ./.


	The/at arguments/nns advanced/vbn by/in those/dts individuals/nns and/cc groups/nns who/wps oppose/vb the/at system/nn in/in force/nn and/cc who/wps would/md drastically/rb curtail/vb or/cc do/do away/rb entirely/rb with/in hospital/nn care/nn for/in the/at non-service-connected/jj case/nn ,/, seem/vb to/to be/be coldly/rb impractical/jj and/cc out-of-step/jj with/in the/at wishes/nns of/in the/at general/jj public/nn ./.


	I/ppss believe/vb in/in priority/nn for/in service-connected/jj disabled/vbn veterans/nns in/in admission/nn to/in VA/nn hospitals/nns ./.
But/cc I/ppss don't/do* believe/vb we/ppss should/md close/vb the/at door/nn on/in non-service-connected/jj patients/nns ./.
This/dt matter/nn is/bez of/in great/jj importance/nn ,/, and/cc the/at outcome/nn may/md mean/vb the/at difference/nn between/in life/nn or/cc death/nn ,/, or/cc at/in least/ap serious/jj injuries/nns ,/, for/in many/ap veterans/nns ./.


	Some/dti critics/nns say/vb that/cs the/at length/nn of/in stay/nn in/in a/at hospital/nn is/bez too/ql long/jj ./.
There's/ex+bez a/at reason/nn for/in this/dt length/nn of/in stay/nn ./.
First/od of/in all/abn ,/, the/at admitting/vbg physician/nn in/in the/at VA/nn hospital/nn gets/vbz the/at patient/nn as/cs a/at new/jj patient/nn ./.
He/pps has/hvz no/at experience/nn with/in this/dt veteran's/nn$ previous/jj medical/jj record/nn ./.
If/cs the/at doctor/nn is/bez conscientious/jj ,/, he/pps wants/vbz to/to study/vb the/at patient/nn ./.
As/cs a/at result/nn ,/, it/pps takes/vbz a/at little/ql longer/rbr than/cs it/pps would/md on/in the/at outside/nn where/wrb the/at family/nn physician/nn knows/vbz about/in the/at patient/nn ./.


	Secondly/rb ,/, the/at VA/nn physician/nn knows/vbz that/cs when/wrb the/at patient/nn leaves/vbz the/at hospital/nn ,/, he/pps is/bez no/ql longer/rbr going/vbg to/to have/hv a/at chance/nn to/to visit/vb his/pp$ patient/nn ./.
So/cs he/pps keeps/vbz the/at veteran/nn in/rp until/cs he/pps can/md observe/vb the/at effects/nns of/in treatment/nn or/cc surgery/nn ./.


	The/at American/jj public/nn must/md be/be presented/vbn with/in the/at facts/nns concerning/in VA/nn hospitalization/nn ./.
The/at public/nn should/md understand/vb that/cs whether/cs they/ppss support/vb a/at state/nn hospital/nn or/cc a/at VA/nn hospital/nn ,/, the/at tax/nn dollar/nn has/hvz to/to be/be paid/vbn one/cd way/nn or/cc the/at other/ap ./.
The/at responsibility/nn is/bez still/rb going/vbg to/to be/be there/rb whether/cs they/ppss pay/vb for/in a/at VA/nn hospital/nn or/cc the/at tax/nn dollar/nn is/bez spent/vbn for/in the/at state/nn hospital/nn ./.
An/at adequate/jj system/nn of/in VA/nn hospitals/nns is/bez better/rbr equipped/vbn to/to care/vb for/in the/at veterans/nns than/cs any/dti 50/cd state/nn hospitals/nns ./.


	It/pps seems/vbz that/cs open/jj season/nn upon/in veterans'/nns$ hospitalization/nn is/bez once/rb more/rbr upon/in us/ppo ./.
The/at American/jj-tl Medical/jj-tl Association/nn-tl is/bez once/rb again/rb grinding/vbg out/rp its/pp$ tear-soaked/jj propaganda/nn based/vbn upon/in the/at high/jj cost/nn of/in the/at Veterans/nns-tl Administration/nn-tl medical/jj program/nn to/in the/at American/jj taxpayer/nn ./.
Do/do they/ppss ,/, the/at A.M.A./np ,/, offer/vb any/dti solution/nn other/ap than/cs outright/jj abolition/nn of/in a/at medical/jj system/nn unsurpassed/jj anywhere/rb in/in the/at world/nn ?/. ?/.


	We/ppss veterans/nns acknowledge/vb the/at fact/nn that/cs as/cs time/nn passes/vbz the/at demand/nn for/in medical/jj care/nn at/in VA/nn hospitals/nns will/md grow/vb proportionately/rb as/cs age/nn fosters/vbz illness/nn ./.
Nevertheless/rb ,/, we/ppss wonder/vb at/in the/at stand/nn of/in the/at A.M.A./np on/in the/at health/nn problem/nn confronting/vbg the/at aged/vbn ./.
They/ppss opposed/vbd the/at Forand/np bill/nn ,/, which/wdt would/md have/hv placed/vbn the/at major/jj burden/nn of/in financial/jj support/nn upon/in the/at individual/nn himself/ppl through/in compulsory/jj payroll/nn deduction/nn ;/. ;/.
yet/rb they/ppss supported/vbd the/at Eisenhower/np administration/nn which/wdt will/md cost/vb a/at small/jj state/nn like/cs ours/pp$$ approximately/rb five/cd million/cd dollars/nns (/( matched/vbn incidentally/rb by/in a/at federal/jj grant/nn )/) to/to initiate/vb ./.
