estimated at over $50,000 a year Damages to the oceanfront hall area over the past winter alone exceeded $3,500 he said FOLLOWING Til E results of the initial stakeout, the manager reported that the city would be "greatly expanding its police efforts to apprehend vandals " Areas of high vandalism, he continued, will he subject to continued police surveilance and increased patrols • According'to Police Chief Eugene Velli, of the four youths apprehended recently, two, a 15- and 16-year-old. were detained at police station until their parents arrived; and two others, a and 17-year-old, were charged with criminal mischief (for damage to the railings) and possession of under 25 grams of marijuana On the educational side, the manager stressed that respect for the property rights of others is "the missing concept." •RESPECT FOR the

private and public property rights has to be taught at home and in the schools." Mr Coldren emphasized "Some of these kids have never learned the concept of respecting other people's property, so they'll have to learn the hard way: in court, reform school or jail." The city manager urged residents to cooperate in the crackdown on vandalism by contacting police at 884-8414 any time they have information that could assist in the com-munity-wide effort. Mr. Coldren, himself, has been keeping alttye out for violators of /local ordinances; notifying police headquarters of people riding bicycles on the mall and walking their dogs on the mall and promenade — both No-No’s under local health and safety codes.
