Postal officials feel that to establish a new office only for residents of Petersburg, set up another for Greenfield. Seaville and Palermo and process all mail for oak Forest thru the Marmora Office would be "extremely costly and disruptive to service." No, Despite Payoff MIDDLE TWP. - Even though he reportedly paid Sun Ray Beach resident Edward Eils $1,200 toward his electric bill for the year, businessman Louis Lambert couldn't sell his idea to establish a windmill farm in Sub Ray Beach either to local residents or the township Zoning Board. The board Jan. ° 19 unanimously denied his request for a variance that would have allowed him to construct six 50-ft.-high windmills for the generation of electricity to sell to Atlantic Efectric. According to reports. Lambert" acknowledged that he paid off Eils — who was circulating a petition opposing the project — in an effort to keep him from turning other $un Ray Beach residents against the proposed farm. Although some 100 residenbrattended the hearing — many opposing theplan because of the potential noise and traffic it would create — Lambert contended ^ Sun Ray Beach residents would have been in favor of the project if he had| offered to pay their electric bills.

Decrease, Increase - * 4 OCEAN CITY — Residents here \voift have an increase in their municipal taxes for the second year in r a row, but under a proposed $8.9 million school budget foi 1 1982-83, school taxes wilf jump an estimated 12 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. City Administrator Paul McCarthy contends the municipality’s $12.9 million budget will keep services at existing levels and create no layoffs. If adopted the tax rate will remain at the current rate of 88.4 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The school budget is up some 17 pes, cent from the 1981-82 figure, requiring an additional $756,429 to be raised in taxes.

One Center (From Page 1) The Coast Guard reportedly chose to continue to use the Cape May facility rather than the one in Alameda because the one here is larger, better equipped and closer to Coast Guard schools that provide further training. Recruits here learn techniques of small-boat handling, seamanship, military discipline, human relations, navigation, drill and ceremonies, in addition to career oriented tasks. In addition to closing the Alameda cefiter. the Guard announced Thursday it is closing three air stations and 105 vesseldocumentation facilities, decommissioning 11 cutters and streamlining other functions. Savings are expected to be about $46 million.

WHILE AT A TOWN meeting in Lower Township on Saturday, Cong. William Hughes, a member of the House Merchant marine and Fisheries Committee, told the newspaper that the move by the Coast Guard is "upgrading" the Cape May facili-

*y

He expressed concern, however, that the

overall effect of the cuts may be to reduce the ability of the Guard to perform services su<?h as drug interdiction, monitoring of ocean dumping hnd seeing that the

200-mile fishing limit is protected The congressman noted that legislation

was to be introduced in the House Monday that would reinstate about $50 millioh into

the Coast Guard budget.

support for it in the H«use."

But minutes also indicate that former board chairman Lionel Eatroff disagreed, emphasizing that when the current owners bought the development they also inherited the obligations promised to the

board.

BOARD MEMBERS ARE not the only ones cqncerned that promised improvements haven’t been met. At least one tenant at the plaza -- Joan Carlson of Chris’ Card Shop — has put her rent in escrow because promises made to her by the developer, haven't been kept She requested the board to consoler allowing the sign so people will know where Breakwater Plaza is located. Minutes indicate tlyit Ms. Carlson and other Plaza business people attended the meeting to express their feelings that a sign advertising Breakwater Plazq would increase business at the Center. Board member Stew Millard, however, reportedly said that just erecting a bigger sign isn't going to bring more business Instead. be said, emphasis should be placed on making improvements that will make the area more attractive and safe.
