TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE is still considering changes to the municipal mercantile license ordinance and fee schedule and will probably amend another ordinance regulating use of campgrounds in the township. The latest development ■ followed an Erma businessman’s complaints that local campgrounds are operating or leasing arcades and other concessions while paying only campground license fees. Other businesses in the township, he maintained, are required to pay square footage fees as well as fees for each game machine on the premises. ~ “We’re defmately going to have to amend the campground code,” Mayor Peggie Bieberbach concluded at the township work session last week.

REPUBLICAN Township Committee candidate Samuel Stubbs took a shot at Bieberbach, his . Democratic election opponent, Friday while coining out in favor of the Charter Study Commission recommendations to change the township government from a committe to a councilmanager form. Citing the mayor’s opposition to the proposed change — which will appear as a referendum on the fall ballot — Stubbs concluded: “I approve of the recommended change of government and working toward a more efficient political structure. I sympathize with our mayor’s inability to change with the times.”

any flak on it except the (Aug. 22 township) meeting.” “There’s' been people that have talked to me about it,” said Clydesdale. “They’ve even stopped me on the street on occasion.” “Let’s see how many complaints there are,” the mayor suggested, recom—mending that township employes be questioned about complaints. “The employes would be the ones that would take the static to begin with.” FIGURES ON the number of unlicensed dogs in the township were due Sept. 1 from Lower at the state^Department of Health’s Consumer Health Service Rabies’ Control Division but they didn’t make it; the local dog census has not been done yet. “We*didn’t turn one in last year because we didn’t have anybody to do it,” Township clerk _ Claudia Kammer said. She told the township -'.committee last week that the municipal government faces the same problem, this / year — the dog' census just doesn’t draw a lot of volunteers. “It must be done," said Mayor Bieberbach. Committeeman Fothergill argued that, even if the entire township police force were given the chore, “you’re still looking ( at, probably, a month before you get the information.” He said*he would try to enlist the aid of a local scout troop to count the illegal dog population. * * * .

Bieberbach has consistently criticized* the recommendations, arguing Uat the change in government would be more expensive to township taxpayers since eouncilmembers and the manager, in particular, would draw salaries. She has-pointed to the examples of Wildwood, Ocean City and Atlantic City in opposing a governmental change justifying her stand by highlighting the recent power struggles in each resort and the expensive legal suits that have

resulted.

BIEBERBACH, Committeemen Robert Fothergill and Thomas Clydesdale will reconsider at next Monday’s .work session their earlier decision to close Township Hall for an hour during lunchtime. “I was a little leary of this thing from the very beginning,” Clydesdale said during the commit"tee’s session last week. “For the good of the public, I think it should be open.” “We had a 45-day trial period,” Bieberbach recalled, citing efforts to guage public reaction to the hour ^losing before it was implemented. She said the county Municipal Utilities Authority closes every Monday to complete its paperwork. “They think somebody should be here 24-hours a day — some people,” observed Fothergill. “I would have to rely on the employes (to evaluate the extend of complaints about the closing*).
