Instead of suburb in cooperation coercion might be the eventual answer. While allowing the suburbs their symbolic independence, the county governments could initiate a metropolitan-wide tax base for "public goods" which benefit the whole area. Such public goods include transportation, police protection, and air pollution. The exception to these is education. Here one must accept community control as political reality. In the central city, however, federal funds should increase substantially to put the quality of urban schooling on roughly equal footing with suburban.

Reason: the plant might pollute the clear desert air. At Mercer Island in Lake Washington, a suburb of Seattle, residents faced another difficult choice. Did they want to preserve a wooded park?

Despite outplaying Colgate, they lost, 20-6. But Princeton. N. J., a suburb of Trenton, is a town without pity in the Gene Pitney tradition. And that's where today's game is being played, or forfeited. or whatever. It wouldn't be so bad for Brown were it not for Princeton's recent improvement. Both the offense and defense have clicked.
