"The decline in the numbers of amphibians worldwide clearly indicates the global

pollution of water and air. Two studies of amphibians in Yosemite National Park in

California confirm my conclusion. In 1915 there were seven species of amphibians in

the park, and there were abundant numbers of each species. However, in 1992 there

were only four species of amphibians observed in the park, and the numbers of each

species were drastically reduced. The decline in Yosemite has been blamed on the

introduction of trout into the park's waters, which began in 1920 (trout are known to eat

amphibian eggs). But the introduction of trout cannot be the real reason for the Yosemite

decline because it does not explain the worldwide decline."

131) The following is a letter to the editor of the Atticus City newspaper.

"Former Mayor Durant owes an apology to the city of Atticus. Both the damage to the

River Bridge, which connects Atticus to Hartley, and the traffic problems we have long

experienced on the bridge were actually caused 20 years ago by Durant. After all, he is

the one who approved the construction of the bridge. If he had approved a wider and

better-designed bridge, on which approximately the same amount of public money

would have been spent, none of the damage or problems would have occurred. Instead,

the River Bridge has deteriorated far more rapidly over the past 20 years than has the

much longer Derby Bridge up the river. Even though the winters have been severe in the

past several years, this is no excuse for the negligence and wastefulness of Durant."

132) The following is a letter to the head of the tourism bureau on the island of Tria.

"Erosion of beach sand along the shores of Tria Island is a serious threat to our island

and our tourist industry. In order to stop the erosion, we should charge people for using

the beaches. Although this solution may annoy a few tourists in the short term, it will

reduce the number of people using the beaches and will raise money for replenishing the

sand. Replenishing the sand, as was done to protect buildings on the nearby island of

Batia, will help protect buildings along our shores, thereby reducing these buildings' risk
