SARGENT'S PURCHASE — A proposal to charge admission to enter the Sherman Adams Building on the summit of Mount Washington will not be presented this year for legislative approval, although there was a discussion last month by the Mount Washington Commission to do so.
The commission advises the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources in the management of summit property owned by the state.

If they need to charge a fee they should give the option of buying a season pass.
Instead of charging a fee to enter the building, charge a per person fee for everyone coming to the summit via car (auto road) or cog. The cog and auto road folks can collect 1.00 per person and turn the monies over to the state each quarter. Simple solution. And it will raise more money.
