Consider driving distance

This letter addresses the government's possible selection of a new site for a national guard armory in Jackson Township. One consideration must be the distance that soldiers are asked to travel for meetings and drills. With the price of gasoline hovering around four dollars per gallon, requiring soldiers (men and women) to travel great distances from populated areas to the cornfield area seems ludicrous. Perhaps, the site selection committee should reconsider remodeling the existing facilty or considering another site closer to the city.
