"Gentlemen:
Two major areas of doubt remain with regard to the Mus-Kee-
Guac planned development. These are impositions upon the school
system and burdens upon the sewer system.
The City of Muskego taxpayers spend $544.00 per student per
year to operate the school system. As stated at the June 1, 1971,
Planning Commission meeting, the effective number of children placed
