The following letter was received too late for inclusion on the editorial page. It is published here because of its interest to the community. To The Editor: I am writing to express concern over the possible loss of trees on the Hoke County Library site. It appears that twelve trees are either within the marked boundary of the building or very near to the string now up. Is it true that the flat-roof design may necessitate cutting all of the trees? I have no authority for questioning the selection of the site or the design, but the organization which I lead has much concern for SUPPORT THE BUCKS the beauty of our community and its history has been based on caring for Raeford's natural assets.
