LOWER TOWNSHIP - Mayor Tom Clydesdale announced Monday night he would be requesting US. Army Corps of Engineers’ assistance to rebuild the South Cape May dune, which was leveled by last weekend’s storm. He said during the Oct. 27 Township Committee meeting that he had already been in touch with Congressman Bill Hughes’ office and that he would be making the request for federal aid thru the congressman yesterday. THE MAYOR’S comments came as he spoke Monday night about the damage the storm had left behind Saturday. He noted also how it had washed away a portion of the bulkhead along the bayfront in the upper Villas, and how citizens there had pitched in themselves by backfilling the eroded section and effecting repairs to the

wood wall.

The mayor indicated that reconstruction of the

ocean-front dune in South Cape May would require more than local manpower. He pointed out how one section of the dune had only recently been repaired date last winter thru the efforts of a Cqpe May City employee volunteer using a bulldozer). THE DUNE protects the township’s southernmost farmland reaches and more important, the lowlying populated areas of West Cape May directly adjacent to the meadow behind it. \ The dune was so quickly and thoroughly breached Saturday morning that tons of sea water swept into the township, borough and — eventually — city within a matter of minutes. Ironically, it was only a couple of weeks ago that the Corps of Engineers announced it had rejected, as not cost-effective, a proposal to make South Cape May part of a Cold Spring Inlet-to-Cape May Point storm portection project.

Dunes Bill Called Bar To Growth on Islands

STONE HARBOR - The Shore Protection Act is ■weighted in favor of stagnation of the barrier, islands," Mayor JameJL Wood told members of the local Chamber of Commerce at its recent meeting. * The mayor traced what he called the •Dune and Property Abduction Act" starting with the 1976 state bond issue for dune preservation. Bergen Assemblyman Robert Hollenbwk's 1979 bill calling for • stringent enforcement of protection for shorefront and bayfront areas represents a struggle between state bureaucratic control and the rights of property owners to home rule, Wood said. PUBLIC OUTCRY from Cape May and other shoreline communities caused the bill to be • .mporarily withdrawn. In July Hollenbeck met with state Sen. James S. Cafiero for input from mayors and an agreement that mayors of various, communities would be consulted. He was not one

of them, Wood said. A PRELIMINARY draft of a substitute bill from Long Beach, received recently, intensified his approhensions. Wood said. After attending a meeting in Wildwood Crest with the mayors of coastal resorts as far north as Barnegat Light, Wood is now heading a groqp drafting a bill reflecting the feeling in other coastline communities. His primary concern, he said, is to defeat the amended Hollenbeck bill. IN OTHER ACTION, the following slate for election at the November meeting was placed in nomination: Jan Crego. secretarytreasurer, Jim Fisher. 2nd vice president; Mary Ann Yockey. 1st vice president; Glen Townley. president. Jim Owihgs was chairman of nomination committee. Nominations will be accepted from the floor at the election meeting. An amendment to the bylaws to add the merchants committee to the executive board was passed unanimously.
