jects it to be 10.000 by 1990. One of the changes is expected to be a full-time police force. (The township is now serviced by State Police.) A year ago the voters emphatically rejected a police force by a 3 .1 margin in a referendum. TOZOUR DOES not believe a police force is necessary now. but he points out that thefe is a statute that requires every town wima population of more than 7,500 people ttrnave its own police department. Another change will take place as a result of a referendum passed this month by a mere 100 voters. Reflecting the growth of Upper, the three member governing body will now be increased to five. And, following the course of Lower Township, a library <vill soon be established in Upper Township after an extensive

local campaign.

Some of the population growth and the changes that come with it are attributed by Tozour to casino gambling in Atlantic City. ' r * ' In 1979, a year after the first casino opened, 200 new building permits were issued in Upper Township which is some 14 miles from Atlantic City. In 1980 the number was reduced to 150 and in *81 and ‘82, with the economy floundering, the building permits

dropped to 60 each year.

Tozour sees a resurgence in the next three years of about 100 building permits a - year, triggered by a hopefully better ‘ economy and more casino hotels under

construction. '

"It won’t create a tremendous influx, but we will have a nice, steady growth without losing our rural atmosphere," he

predicted. .

TOZOUR SEES another important fringe benefit for residents of Upper Township ^-here employment opportunities are. minimal. Many people, who formerly Were employed seasonally only, now are vfcrking year round in Atlantic City at jobsJn the S16.000 to $18,000 salary range. HeUes more jobs opening up, too. "Where else in South Jersey can you find so many $18,000 jobs that are available in * Atlantic City and still live in a town with such low taxes?" asks Tozour who is the

owner of the Upper Township branch of

Avalon Real Estate.

'With residents paying about $500 a in taxes, mostly for county purposes, $75,000 house,‘the question becomes what kind of legerdemain does this financial Utopia employ to accomplish these

bargain rates?

THE ANSWER is the B.L. England plant of the Atlantic City Electric Co. which can be seen from.the Garden State Pdrkway. This plant, which is not nuclear energy despite its appearance, was permitted to be constructed in Upper Township after other communities turned it dowh. It gives Upper $4 million a year in revenue and that money supplants the taxes that otherwise would have to be paid for schools and

local purposes.

In its PR brochure, Upper Township, once the home of the Lenni I^enape IndiaHk, describes itself as "principally a rural, small community hiunicipality with close proximity to the seashore areas, having clean air and other environmental advantages." It contends the township is "self sufficient and has all of the services and heeds for a full community

municipality."

The people who live there hope to keep it that way, but inHhe next decade it looks like changes will be taking place, albeit gradually without dramatically affecting the nature of this unusual municipality.
