WASHINGTON. D.C. - Congressman Bill Hughes (D-NJ) has introduced a resolution calling for the rejection of an Administration plan to ban weekend gasoline sales in the event of a major oil shortage. Hughes said that the plan for weekend gas station closings could have a severe impact on many areas of the country which depend upon travel and tourism for a significant part of their economic activity. If people were discouraged froltf using their cars on weekends, thousands of jobs and millions of dollars could be lost by the recreation and leisure industry, and resort areas, he said. Hughes, whose South Jersey district includes Atlantic City and a large number of popular resorts in Cape May land Ocean Counties, said that tourism is a multibillion dollar industry in New Jersey, and a $150 billion industry nationwide "There is no entirely painJess way to deal with a gasoline shortage." Hughes said. "By the same token, we must be certain that the hardships of any shortage are spread out and shared as equitably as possible among all sectors of our economy .”

Hughes said that weekend gasoline station closings would force a single industry to absorb the entire burden brought about by an oil shortage. "Such a result is not only totally unacceptable, but it also runs contrary to the clear language of the law which states that no one segment of our economy should be singled out to absorb a disproportionate share of fuel shortages.Hughes said. Hughes’ resolution calls for the rejection of the weekend gas sales ban in favor of a policy that would allow each state to design its own specific program for curbing energy use. Hughes said that the Federal Government could only develop a single policy for the entire country, whereas individual state governments could develop specialized policies suited to their own individual While some states could still ban weekend gasoline sales if they so choose, they would also have the option of utilizing other approaches such as stringent measures to encourage carpooling^eliminating the use of oil as a boiler fuel wherever practical, taking steps to encourage greater use of mass transit, and other efforts.

Voters Defeat Budget

And Referendum

Avalon voters, in an unusually large turnout, defeated both the proposed $600,000 bond issue to improve the elementary school along with the 1979 current expense budget of $731,884 in this past Tuesday’s school board election. Three hundred and nineteen votes were cast against the bond issue versus 108 favoring the construction plan that would have added new facilities as well as updated the present building. The budget was defeated by a vote of 258 against 172 in favor. Incumbent school board member Richard Pedroni

defeated Mary Jo Dell’Orefice by a margin of 231 votes to 180 for a three year seat. 'i was elated with the turnout," said school board secretary Hilda Klosterman, "but I’m a little disappointed with the results." The budget will now have to go to the borough commissioners to come up with figures they feel the municipality can live with. “We’ve never had to go through this before,” said Mrs. Klosterman. She said that in the nearly six years she has served the board, this is the first time voters have defeated a budget.
