Villas. Police served a summons last month on the tavern owner, obliging her to appear before the committee and answer allegations that “lewd and immoral activity" took {dace there as well as after-hour sales, serving intoxicated patrons

etc.

A suspicious fire damaged the tavern Dec. 23. Its owner requested a third postponement while she decides if she’ll reopen the establishment, Township Clerk Claudia Kammer informed the committee, citing information from Township Solicitor Bruce Gorman. ‘ , * Bieberbach and FothergiU agreed with Clydesdale that a hearing should be held wbea the month delay, requested by the Whale House, expires. “Make it the first regular meeting in February,” Clydesdale suggested. Because the official holi-"' day for Lincoln’s birthday falls on Feb. 13, the usual meeting date, however, the first regular meeting next month will be held Feb. 15. FREEHOLDER Gerald M. Thornton, GOP municipal chairman, will review credentials of prospective candidates for township counci] before an 8 p.m. party meeting Mooday at the Villas Womens’ Republican Club on Bayshore Road. Republicans, seeking party support for their candidacies, should prepare a five-minute presentation and field questions from the audience, according to Patricia Koitsch, party spokeswoman. At least 10 people have expressed interest in running for the five new council seats, with Republican backing, Thornton confirmed Friday. He declined, however, to release the names of potential candidates. Samuel M. Stubbs, GOP District 8 committeeman from North Cape May, was the only announced candidate for council last week. Bieberbach’s opponent in the close November race for township committee, Stubbs said even before the election that he would run for a council seat if voters approved a change in township government from the three-member committee to a council-manager system. Voters favored the change by a 2-1 margin. Elections for two at-large and three ward councilmembers will be held May 8; they will officially replace township committee members in July.
