correctionelaborrition

Last week it was incorrectly reported that a special April 15 training session for aerial spraying of gypsy moths would.be held by the state Dept, of Environmental Protection in Woodbine. The session was sponsored by the state Dept, of Agriculture and was for the training of ground crews who will aid in the spraying programs.

In a chart accompanying last week’s story on Lower Township School election results, it was listed that Regional school board candidate Ruth Billmeyer received only 12 votes in polling district II (Villas). The correct number was 128. Last week’s editorial on state transportation projects incorrectly listed last year's railroad crossing work as being on Bayshore Rd. It was actually on Seashore Rd, Riparian Rights < From Page 1) law, any land which was ever flowed by the mean high tide is deemed riparian land and dedicated to the support of free public schools. "Because no final delineation of these lands has ever been made and because the areas so washed have changed dramatically over the years, many private lands are subject to a claim of title by the state at any time. "CONSEQUENTLY." the councilmen continued, "the owners of these lands have been placed in an untenable position and have no way of knowinghf the state may someday assert that their land was formerly flowed by the mean high tide. "In order to remedy this situation, this proposed amendment provides that these lands shall not be deemed riparian lands if the owner can demonstrate marketable title for a period of at least 60 years during which the state has not asserted a claim of title.” While the resolution of Coimcilmen Busha and Grey is among the first actions on the Jersey Cape to get the ball rolling toward a more definitive riparian law, it is by no means the first. STATE ASSEMBLYMAN William Gormley (R-Atlantic) initiated the fight a few weeks ago. and last Wednesday chaired a meeting of interested local officials and citizens in Brigantine. * It was the state assemblyman who laun ched the drive to amend the constitution with the 60-year clause, and it was at the conference called by Mr. Gormely that former senator Kay’s remarks were made — comments which warned of serious consequences for owners of tidal lands if the state’s mapping plans and old riparian claims come to fruition.

The crash occurred, police said, when a 55-year-old Newport News, Va. driver crossed the center line. He wasn’t injured seriously. Would Protect Commercial Walk

OCEAN CITY — Commercial establishments and parking lots would be the only permitted uses within 200 feet of the boardwalk in an eight-block stretch between 6th and 13th Sts. if a proposal being considered by the Planning Board is adopted by City Council. The board is in the throes of updating the zoning ordinance and is expected to advance the revised proposal to council by summer. The commercial zone along the boardwalk, aimed at precluding further residential deyelopment such as a controversial townhouse project between 13th and 14th Sts., is just one of many areas of the city’s-overall zoning board members and aides have been working on since last fall. Another is lower building height limitation near the beachport. Budgets Pared COURT HOUSE - A total of $345,000 will be pared from the county’s three local school district tax levies defeated by the voters two weeks ago. While the individual boards haven’t yet decided exactly from where in the budgets the cuts will come, they have certified to be the respective municipal governing bodies that these amounts will be cut: Lower Cape May Regional (serving Lower Township, Cape May and West Cape May)—$155,000; Woodbine—$125,000 Lower Township—$65,000. Growth Not Seen MUA Bailiwick

LOWER TWP. - Township MUA officials strongly objected to suggestions last week that restricting future expansion of its sewage treatment plant should be viewed as the primary means of controlling development in this, Cape May County's largest municipality. “I don't see that the {4^should be involved in controlling ddPMQp said authority chairman Leo Joraan, who was supported in his view by former township mayor-now MUA executive director Joseph Roop: "Our duty is to provide service for those who need it; not to control growth." According to Mr. Roop, the township Planning Board (which he once chaired) is the key regulator of growth.
