Argument67 The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a newspaper serving
the villages of Castorville and Polluxton.

"Both the villages of Castorville and Polluxton have experienced sharp declines in the numbers of residents who pay property taxes. To save money and improve service, the two villages recently merged their once separate garbage collection departments into a single department located in Castorville, and the new department has reported few complaints about its service. Last year the library in Polluxton had 20 percent fewer users than during the previous year. It follows that we should now further economize and improve service, as we did with garbage collection, by closing the library in Polluxton and using the library in Castorville to serve both villages."


In this letter the editor claims that the villages of Castorville and Polluxton should close the liberary in Polluxton and use the liberay in Castorville to save money and improve service. Because the users of the library in Polluxton decreased 20 percent last year than during the previous year. And the two villages merged their separate garbage collection departments into a single department located in Castorville in order to serve money. The new one received few complaints about its service. However, I find the argument unpersuasive in several respects.

To begin with, the fact that the merger of two garbage collation departments lends on support to the argument. The purpose of the merger is to save money and improve service, but there is no information indicate that the expend of new department has decreased. The argument only shows that the new departement has reported few complaints about its service. Perhaps that the problems have not been discovered. It is also possible that the department does not report the problems. So, the argument is based on problematic reasoning.

Even if the two villages would save money and improve service from the merger of their garbage collation departments. The problem is the two departments are not silimer enough to justify the analogical analogy. The function of the garbage collation department and the library are different, and the problems they faced are unlike. The merger may be feasible to the garbage collation departement, but not to the library. The argument simply equates garbage collation departement with library, which is unwarranted.

Even if merger could economize and improve service, the editor failed to gather sufficient data to prove that the they should close the library in Polluxton and use the library in Castorville. The 20 percent decrease of users in Polluxton lends little credible support for the argument. Perhaps both two libraries had fewer users last year than during previous years. Perhaps the resdients want to close the liberary in Castorville. The argument was greatly weakened.

In sum, the argument is unconvincing as it stands. To bolster it the editor must provide assurances that the merger of two libraries indeed could save money and improve service. We also need a reliable project about the merger.
