Editor,After reading your article about school enrollment in Ely, I guess the only thing that I am surprised at is that so many people were surprised that the number of students in the Ely school system is on the decline. When I opened Canadian Waters in 1964 the population in Ely was around 6,700. Perhaps those people who seem to be against any kind of new development are satisfied with the way things are in Ely. So, the decline in population in Ely has continued. Unfortunately, nothing has been successful in improving the job market in Ely, hence all the help wanted signs all over town.
