　　the following proposal was raised at a meeting of the franklin city council.

　　franklin airport, which is on a bay, is notorious for flight delays. the airport management wants to build new runways to increase capacity but can only do so by filling in 900 acres of the bay. the bay coalition organization objects that filling in the bay will disrupt tidal patterns and harm wildlife. but the airport says that if it is permitted to build its new runways, it will fund the restoration of 1,000 acres of wetlands in areas of the bay that have previously been damaged by industrialization. this plan should be adopted, for it is necessary to reduce the flight delays, and the wetlands restoration part of the plan ensures that the bays environment will actually be helped rather than hurt.

　　the following appeared in a memo from the vice president of marketing at dura-sock, inc.

　　a recent study of dura-sock wearers suggests that our company is wasting the money it spends on its patented endure manufacturing process, which ensures that our socks are strong enough to last for two years. dura-sock has always advertised its use of the endure process, but the new study shows that the average dura-sock customer actually purchases new dura-socks every three months. furthermore, dura-sock customers surveyed in our largest market, northeastern united states cities, say that they most value dura-socks stylish appearance and availability in many colors. these findings suggest that dura-sock can increase its profits by discontinuing its use of the endure manufacturing process.
