Record Surplus Cut County Tax-

(From Page 1) prison has 114 beds, he said, and has had as many as 50 state-bound prisoners at one time, most of them sentenced by county courts. SECOND LARGEST unanticipated revenue item was $286,845 at the county Health Department which Sturm said resulted from more reimbursement and a fee system started last year for inspecting restaurants, campgrounds, pools, etc. That fee system for "environmental health services” brought the county $45,000, according to Louis J. Lamanna, public health coordinator. He said the department took in $513,577 and the imaotidpated portion represented fees paid by individuals and reimbursement under programs such as Medicare. Other unanticipated revenues included $214,648 in federal money to the Fare Free Transportation program and $156,709 to the county Welfare Department for its senior centers. There also was an additional $145,950 in the state money to the county probation and welfare departments as reimbursement for their program of collecting delinquent child support payments, Sturm said. More thah $210,000 of the unantidpated revenue apparently was a bookkeeping item that represented health insurance premiums the county pays and then is reimbursed by such agencies as the Municipal Ulilities Authority, Welfare Board, Mosquito Commission, etc. TOE COUNTY ALSO got back almost $100,000 from Cape Human Resources, unspent money frorq contracts it had for CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) projects.

Drug House

(From Page 1)

the bid opening last Wednesday afternoon. The 77-year-old frame house at the northeast corner of Broadway and Grant Street was seized by the county prosecutor after local and federal lawmen raided the mansion in September, 1982. Tbey uncovered a drug lab in the basement' and arrested its owner Milton Briggs, 51, and his twin, Murton, according to William B. Matthews Sr., chief of the county detectives. The brothers are free pending appeals of their six month jail sentences and $6,000 fines, he said. Because it was allegedly used in the commission of a crime, Milton Briggs forfeited his seven-bedroom, four-bath home with its efficiency apartment and

detached garage.

The county based its minimum bid on two appraisals of the house, Willis explained, noting that $47,643.93 is owed Howard Savings Bank on the mortgage. According to the Cape May City tax assessor's office, the bouse and other improvements were reassessed last year at $80,400 and the land they occupy at $52,000 for a total assessed value of $132,400.

Assistant County Treasurer Pamela Eaves said this came back to the county because Cape Human Resources “had too much cash on hand." The list of unanticipated revenues included a $67,000 credit on the county’s Workman’s Compensation insurance premiums, and $42,000 for library maintenance which the county provides and is then reimbursed for by the library board, t t AMONG OTHER REASONS for the record surplus, the county clerk’s office took in $777,254 in 1983 which was $181,254 more than anticipated. County Clerk Angela F. Pfllvino said this was caused largely because "business is a lot better" and more properties were sold, bringing her office higher fees for filing deeds, mortgages, etc. Scott, an accountant, called the surplus "quite unusual” and broke it down by four major categories. He said $667,000 was carried over from the prior year’s surplus, $1 million was "the direct result of 1983 budgetary operations," $2.3. million was “money not anticipated in the budget,” and $1.2 million represented 1982 appropriations carried over in^o the 1983 budget, but never spent. “These were unexpended appropriations because we didn’t make the expenditures," he said. Home for Retarded— (From Page 1) we can all live peacefully together." The home will have a two-person staff around the dock, she said. Staff will include a full-time supervisor, an assistant supervisor, four or five full-time aides and several part-time aides. D’Amico said she is looking for an assistant supervisor, a job that starts at $5.50 an hour, and three or four aides, who start at $4 an hour. Rose Marie Trombetta of Middle Township will be home supervisor, D’Amico said. She is supervisor at the Dorothy home. "THIS PROVIDES a less sheltered environment than an institution,’' said D’Amico. "The hope is that someday they may be able to get out to a less-supervised environment, to get back into the community.” — She said the state, which purchased the homes, has a 2-3-year waiting list for group

homes.

The home will require a fire alarm system and some minor work to provide a second means of egress from every floor, she said! The Marsdens built the home and lived in it for 4'-2 years, Mrs. Marsden said. They have moved a short distance, across Route 47 into Shannon Oaks. "This was a transaction that came to us just like any other qualified buyer,” said Mrs. Marsden. “Some of the neighbors were disappointed, but of course we cannot discriminate."

Just heard from Hilda (Mrs. Philip) MixseU of Duck’s Nest, 94th Street, who has just returned from. an exciting and sentimental Christmas with her sister-in-law, Isabel, and her husband Frank MixseU in Oakland, Cal. Hilda (best-known locally as coordinator of the July 4th Tasty-Kake Home Run Derby) took off on the TWA maiden voyage of the new 787. She describes the plane as “mammoth, at least four railroad cars wide and one and one-half times the length of a train.” There were 225 passengers aboard and “the smoothest ride I've ever had-” It arrival on scheduled in San Francisco, where she was met by the California Mixsells for their first reunion in seven years. They all spent Christmas day with No. 1 Niece, Emily, her husband and their children, who have a new moiintai^-top home overlooking the - bay and bridge 25 miles distant — a gorgeous view both day and night Hilda did a bit of justifiable grandaunt's cooing about 3 Me-month-old

Andy.

After Christmas Isabel took Hilda on the scenic train trip to San Diego to visit No. 2 Niece, Molly, who lives in Coronado with husband, Bob. and their darling three little boys. Molly says that 5-month-old Philip “has his bottle, sleeps, plays with his toys and is the best baby I ever had," Hilda said, “Well, you chose the right name for him." She was so thrill; ed when they called 4o tell her he had been born and was named for her muchloved late husband. Hilda and Isabel spent five' days in Coronado at the Del Coronado Hotel, which Hilda likens to Cape May in its prime, "magnificent in every ^ay” They visited the San Diego Zoo (largest in the world) where Hilda swears she would have taken a job as attendant to the billy goats. Return flight was less carefree. Many delays including a plane crash at St. Louis, no one killed or hurt, but all schedules were fouled up by* it plus the snow . Arriving in Philadelphia almost two hours late, Hilda was relieved to see the smiling face of Hank SpavenU, 9601 2nd Ave., patiently waiting to deliver her to her home. She describes Hank as personable, .an excellent driver and very reliable. She is delighted to have discovered him and he can be reached 4 by . dialing . 368-2070 if you have a driving-service need. * •••- ENVY ISN’T usually one of our many sins, but the green we're wearing around our eyes these days is not caused by makeup or ' jaundice, and Tom Clydesdale of Cold Spring with Ethel and Charles Rudrauff of Stooe Harbor are spending two weeks with a group from the Villas Fishing Club. They’ll be one week in Honolulu, (our idea of a more beautiful Caanoland, with white doves, magnificent but tragic reminders of W.W. II and the world’s best surfing) and then a week on the island of

Mauii, certainly Paradise

on earth.

We'd rob a bank to be with them but this writer is the undisputed world’s champ kultz . and her spouse will never be confused with Raffles, so they’d just drop us off to wait for the vacationers at Alcatraz, which is as homey as the crqwLspace under our house and has a climate like Buffalo's Don’t know about you, but we’ve been getting frequent phone calls recently extolling the virtues and economic savings we could make simply by transferring our phones to another system. We were talking about it as the S.H. Senior's fun night and lots of people are having the same experience. Stupidest thing is they are generally made on a poor connection and if that isn’t a dumb way to drum up new business, we've never heard of one. A gentleman from Avalon called us the other night to ask for the name of an expert in ceramics, locally. We knew from nothing but said we’d get back to him. Having just received one of our most beautiful gifts, ever, from Pat (Mrs. Jack) Fitzpatrick, whose hobby is ceramics, we called her for a recommendation. She said her tutor is unsurpassed .in her estimation and suggested our reader get in touch with Doris Kabiak of the Hitching Post in South Dennis, phone: 861-2855. We're passing the won! along in case some of you arc interested. Tara Wolford and Michael Conklin sent us world via school publication Avalon Courier that the Annual Science Fair in coming up on March 7 and the 7th and 8th graders are already busy working on their projects. Eighth graders area also taking three-week CPR courses. Students of the month from 1st thru 8th grades are: Michael Teraosky, Heather Narrigan, Heather Neill. Chris Marinakis, Dana Buns. Mike Zaae, Faith Talnack. Abby Faggan and Student of the Month for

Harbor Men’s Shop at 235 96th St., owned by pharmicist Bill Dougherty and run by his wife, has moved . into quarters which Bill owns at the corner of 95th Street and 3rd Avenue. It’s right next to Island Girl, the popular gal's shop, which should make all wives happy’. When their . spouses get impatient they can always say “Oh, go next door and get that sweater you ve been yapping about.” That should give them another hour to make their own unhurried choice. • . WE HAVEN’T been to the S.H. Library for six weeks (our spouse has been getting books for us) and when we last saw our favorite librarian, Paty (Mrs. Paul) Pita, she was expecting a baby momentarily. We tried to phone hef but their number is unlisted. We called Borough Hall and they gave us the phone number of her sister. Maureen Uetz (Mrs. Ronald) in Wildwood Crest. Maureen happily gave us the word we wanted. Paty gave birth to an 8 lb. 1 oz. baby girl, Rachel Elizabeth, at Burdette Tomlin Hospital Dec. 10. Paty>is on six months maternity leave add Maureen has no idea how soon we'll see her back at the old stand. For those of you who like us, are worried about the terrifying escalation of the national debt we’d like to suggest you read the article titled How to Save Taxpayers $100 Billion a Year by Trevor Armbrister in the January -edition of Reader's Digest. It should scare and shock the socks off every one of you. A volunteer force of 161 top executives enlisted 1,350 more persons to track down inefficient spending in govjrnment Their findings, conclusions and sugg'estions are being thwarted at nearly every turn by our "lawmakers on Capitol Hill, as well as special-interest groups and bureaucrats who prefer the status quo." We listened carefully to the President’s State of the jJmon message last night and he never mentioned pursuing the findings of the Grace Committee. We can’t help but wonder why.
