Coastal to Local ATLANTIC CJTY State Dept, of Environmental Protection Commissioner Robert Hughey said here last week thta eventually much of the control now exercised over coastal development by the state will eventually be returned to county planning departments, The Commissioner indicated that while the state will continue to monitor all coastal development and maintain the authority to step in and invalidate local decisions not conforming with coastal protection laws, the bulk of coastal planning Will become the responsibility of local planners within the next four years

The shift in power to the local level — where responsibility for coastal development was centered until the early 1970s ~ is reportedly being-spurred by federal budget cuts, State involvement in coastal protection originally stemmed local failure to control the destruction of valuable wetlands. Crime Count Eyed TRENTONA non-binding resolution calling on the State Police to adjust their Uniform Crime Reports to reflect summer population increases in resort communities, was passed by the Assembly last week. According to Assemblyman Guy Muziani, the resolution's sponsor, the Uniform Crime figures are distorted because they are derived by dividing the number of crimes into a community's * year-round population. Crime rates in summer resorts such as Wildwood would be reduced sigificantly if summer population figures arc tafecn into account. Charges Dismissed

COURT HOUSE - Charges against the county’s only SPCA resulting from last fall's use of a gas chamber that didn’t meet state standards, were dismissed in Superior Court here June 18. The suit — filed by Associated Humane

Societies — contended that the use of gas chambers is cruel and illegal under state law. The law currently mandates that animal shelters must use a method of euthanasia generally approved by professional veterinarians as a humane form of

death.

Alls ARGUED THAT the only humane method of euthanasia now recognized by the state Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, as indicated by a vote in 1978, is the injection of barbiturates or a commercial euthanasia solution. ' The SPCA, however, contended the board recently clarified that the action taken in 1978 expressed an opinion rather than a binding regulation, adding that the American Veterinary Medical Assn, approves the use of carbon monoxide as a method of rapid and painless death.

Rule Wpheld ERMA — Although Lower Cape May Regional High School administrators dnd school board members are expected to review the attendance policy soon, Supt. Ephraim Keller said Friday that he "can’t sec the board making it more liberal." Last week four students were denied graduation because they didn’t have the required number of class credit days. The parents of one of the students, Joseph Crilly of Cape May, took the case’ to Superior Court last week where the school’s decision was upheld. ACCORDING TO Mr Keller, the school’s policy is more lenient than state regulations. The state mandates students must be in attendance at between 165 and 170 days. Regional only rquires the 165.
