“The City Engineer has

rompllt

compli ted his work on these streets.” Kehner said, "and the work should start shortly by McCarthy Paving oo.. the low bidder

for the contract."

"WE ARE DOING the streets on which rib vacant lots exist, or. if they do, on which water and sewer mains have been installed, Kehner explained. “There is nothing more frustrating than to have a newly paved street torn up for water or

sewer facilities.”

Kehner noted that this

street paving project is in addition to the continued paving of Pleasure Avenue in the resort. He also noted that work will continue the rest of this year by the Watqr and SOwer Department to brfng these facilities to vacant lot areas, clearing the way for next year’s program.

reached on this proposal yet, it appears that the Chief of Engineers is seriously considering the dismantling of the Philadelphia District office," Hughes said. “If this realignment is permitted to take place, I fear it would present serious problems for our region. In anticipation of this recommendation, I am writing! to you now to enlist your support in fighting this proposal." / ' Hughes said the proposal now before the Chief of Engineer^ would divide the functions of the Philadelphia District office, between Baltimore and New York. Eastern Pennsylvania District office and Delaware would be transferred entirely into the Baltimore District. The portion.of New Jersey now served by Philadelphia would be split, with coastal programs shifting to New York and Deldware Bay programs to the Baltimore office. Philadelphia would then be downgraded to a field office, with only a small staff remaining to oversee operations and maintenance activities in existing federal projects. Hughes cited the following reasons for opposing the move: •Vital economic activities in the Delaware Valley region could be under- • mined by the loss of the Philadelphia office. At the prpsent time, Hughes said, there^s a lot of competition between the ports in Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Baltimore District office could have a built-in bias in favor of the Baltimore port when it comes to allocating the limited resources of the Army Corps' budget, putting the Philadelphia port at a competitive disadvantage. Similarly, there are ports in New Jersey which compete with New York City, and could suffer the same disadvantages if there is no Philadelphia office to focus on our region's concerns. Hughes said there will be a serious loss of continuity among civil works projects in the region. Navigation, flood control and

beach erosion projects which have developed for years under the supervision of the Philadelphia engineers will suddenly be shifted to officials who have no familiarity with them. •The loss of the Philadelphia office will be a serious inconvenience to anyone who has to deal with the Army Corps. With longer distances to travel. Corps officials will have fewer opportunities for on-site inspections in New Jersey, and people who need to meet with the Corps will lose the convenience of the Philadelphia office. •Hughes said the mere thought of Philadelphia not having a District office is absurd. “Philadelphia is the fourth largest city in the country," he stated. "The Philadelphia port is a crucial element of our regional economy. Between our three states, we have hundreds of miles of coastline, plus major rivers such as the Delaware, all of which are regulated in part of the Army Corps." “With all the water problems and other activities taking place in our region, it is incomprehensible that the Corps would seriously consider closing the Philadelphia office. But they are, and we had better get our act together,’'’he said.

UPPER TWP. - Only a handful of local residents turned out for the April 6 public hearing on the township's $4.4 million budget, which was approved unanimously by the Township Committee. But then, this municipality has no local purpose tax and the new budget kept it that way. Thanks largely to the Atlantic Electric generating station at Beesley’s Point, the township is recipient of more than $3 million in gross receipts tax. There is an overrall tax rate here of well under one dollar, due largely to county taxes and school taxes, but no local purpose tax.

(From Page 1) to 22. Further screening reduced the list to 7. Questionnaires were mailed to 54 community groups within the county, and 18 replied. "The community input identified water quality as their prime consideration and we certainly agree with that," 'Kelly noted. The transfer station will appear much like a garage according to Thomas Schrope, PQA, solid waste engineer. The five potential sites are located along Railroad Ave. or Fulling Mill Rd. in the Rio Grande area since this area represents the center of the generation of solid waste in Cape May County. “THE VEHICLES THAT pick up waste at curbside will deposit it at the transfer station,” Schrope explained. “From there it will be transported by larger vehicles to the landfill. This will substantially reduce the traffic to the landfill and. therefore, reduce the cost of transportation." A lined, environmentally secure landfill was described by Kelly as one with a’ minimum of 5 ft. between the landfill base and the ground water table. "A foot of sand under a 30 millimeter thick liner, another layer of sand, a second liner and another one foot sand layer are installed before waste is received," he explained. “Every day six inches of sand will cover the area used. Gas vents and ground water monitoring wells will be installed. Three lifts of 12 ft. each will mark the maximum height. When the lanSKU filled to its maximum height, it’will wq^ied with clay, forcing rain water to drain from the site in a controlled fashion rather than through the buried waste materials." IN OTHER NEWS the authority approved the purchase of the site for the Seven Mile Beach/Middle Township region wastewater treatment plant for $700,000.
