roads, Villas, to widen the intersection According to Freeholder William Sturm, northbound taring onto Fulling Mill Road from Bays bore Road will be easier after the county purchases five-foot strips on both right road shoulders and rounds-off the sharp corner. " Since the county must still negotiate the acquisition with the owner of the former Exxon station property. Sturm explained, the purchase price and the date improvements will be started are still up in the air. Noting that many accidents have occurred at the intersection, Mayor Peggie Bieberbach said she was pleased with the county decision. TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE plans to reconsider a proposed ordinance that would subject trash scavengers to fines. Fines for scavengers were included in a mandatory recycling ordinance tabled in August after residents' vocal opposition Voluntary - recycling was instituted last month in North Cape May and quickly spread to the Bayshore subdivisions. Last week it began in Villas. Because the discarded glass, paper and aluminum can be sold to scrap dealers, the trash residents have separated for collection by the township recycling bus has attracted scavengers who take it away before the bus arrives. Committeeman Robert Fothergill reported last week. He suggested that the

township enact an antiscavenger ordinance. Committeeman Thomas Clydesdale suggested a $500 fine for offenders but no formal action was taken during the Wednesday work session FOTHERGILL ASKED Solicitor Bruce Gorman last week to begin drafting bid specifications for the sale of recycled material. Currently, 30 percent of the households in North Cape May, Bayshore East and West, are participating in recycling, Fothergill estimated, With 40 percent participation — when recycling is expanded throughout the township — 357 tons of paper, 595 tons of glass and 60 tons of aluminum will be diverted from the 14,868 tons of trash Lower hauls to the dump each year, the committeeman calculated. Those volumes of recycled material can be sold for at least $45,000, Fothergill has said, and that money used to counter landfill dumping fee increases. • • • THE JOSEPH Millman Center, Bayshore Road, Miami Beach, is now a recycling drop-off point. Bins were recently installed there to collect glass, aluminum and paper from residents whose neighborhoods are not yet serviced by the recyling bus.

The township garage, Seashore Road, Cold Spring, is also equipped as a collection center.
