Municipal Utilities Authority executive director George Marinakis, because of the age of the system and the lack of-in-formation on the location of underground utilities. ‘‘After three weeks on the job, the A.V.A. Construction Co. has encountered many problems," Marinakis told the MU A last week, "and has only been able to lay 1,100 feet of pipe." AT WEDNESDAYS authority meeting, construction coordinator Kenneth Holmstrup reported a fire plug had blown out that day. "The hydrant was old and not restrained and when digging began adjacent to it, it suddenly blew outs ‘it’s not the fault of anybody,” Holmstrup

noted, ‘it’s simply the fact that many older utility lines run beneath the city streets and are not known or charted.” MB. HOLMSTRUP said city officials and the corftractor had been very cooperative. “The citizens have also been understanding and we appreciate that. A portion of the city was without water for the time recently when a water main was broken. I’m certain we will continue to encounter problems from time to time but hopefully the worst is behind us,” Holmstrup stated. Construction activity was to have begun Monday under the Cape May Region wastewater treatment plant and pumping stations contract.

The State Department of Health has received from the three hospitals and the West Jersey Health System of Camden County a Certificate of Need proposal for a paramedic program.

tic City Medical Center. Broomall emphasized thflt the paramedic program does not replace the volunteer rescue squad in the area but “supplements them. “I stress this point very strongly,” said Broortiall. BROOMALL POINTED out that the service “i£ill be of much higher quality than if any of us individually would have taken on this project by ourselves.” Joining Broomall in signing the Certificate of Need proposal were Richard Pitman, executive vice president of Shore Memorial Hospital; William Waldron, administrator of Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital, and Barry Brown, president of the West Jersey Health System, operators of four hospitals in Camden and Burlington counties. ANTICIPATING state approval of the program, 18 men and women who are qualified emergency medical technicians fron. volunteer rescue squads in Atlantic and Cape May counties are undergoing intensive training by paramedics from West Jersey Hospitals at Camden County College. “We started this training program now so that we would have trained personnel ready by the time the rigs to into Service,” declared Pitman. BROOMALL EXPLAINED that the paramedics, when they complete their training and go to work on the rigs, will be employed by the West Jersey Hospital System. The cost of operating the service will be taken care of through the state reimbursement system. West Jersey has had a paramedic service in operation since 1977 taking care of an average of 550 patients a month. “WE HAVE FIVE rigs, with four on the road and one spare vehicle in the event of a breakdown," said Maureen Miller, administrator of the program. Miller explained that 15 to 20 percent of the calls they answer are to treat severe burn victims, persons who collapse from heart attacks or strokes, shooting and knifing victims, persons seriously injured in automobile accidents and others suffering respiratory problems or diabetic comas.
