are the other charter study commissioners. They have until next August to come up with recommendations-after mulling over professional advice available free from the state Dept, of Community Affairs—which the voters will act on at the polls next November. Tax Record Mess UPPER TWP. — Records used to determine tax assessments here are in a shambles, with the tax map and assessment documents so incomplete or disorganized that some apparently aren’t paying thfeir fair share of taxes while others are making up for the discrepancies. According to reports, some land doesn’t even appear on the tax books and in other instances the assessment records show only a fraction of the land appear- . ing on the tax map. and vice versa. THAT A PROBLEM existed has been known for some time, dhd a new-map is underway (even tho it was updated only two years ago after being first dTawp 20 ' years earlier). Property owners here pay no local pur|jdse tax because of the revenues derived from the Atlantic Electric generating station at Beesley’s Point. However, tremendous development exacerbates the assessment mess a SPCA Charged With Cruelty LOWER TWP. — Representatives of the Associated Humane Societies have charged the operator of the SPCA here with cruelty to animals and sought court action to shut down a gas chamber on the property at S. Bayshore Rd. near the canal here. SPCA director Dennis Kelly, Dekelco Inc. (the company he owns which trades as the dog warden for most Jersey Cape municipalities), and animal handler Candance Pickens were named in a municipal court complaint lodged last Wednesday by Lee Bernstein, executive director of Associated Humane Societies, and David Masterson, chief AHS investigator in South Jersey. On Thursday AHS filed suit in Superior Court against Kelly and a temporary restraint against the gas chamber was obtained. THE AHS PAIR allegedly found a young kitten practically dead inside the small concrete chamber and three kittens and a grown cat dead on the ground outside, apparently waiting to be disposed of in the cremetorium next to the chamber. According to reports, Kelly said he only uses the gas chamber, which he indicated was at least 20 years old, when it is inconvenient or impossible to inject the animals with barbiturates, the recommended method of inducing death. The AHS officials claim the gas chamber bums the lungs of the animals beforo-they die of carbon monoxide poisoning, and reportedly is against state regulations because it isn’t properly equipped.
