its addition to the Wildwood Boardwalk will be most welcome In related Boardwalk news, the plans to extend the Boardwalk up" Cedar Avenue and onto . Pacific Avenue is being greeted with applause When and if it will happen seens to be the question, but all agree that it is the Boardwalk in the summer that carries the economic impact, and any project that can "tap" this bonanza is sure to be supported by the Center City merchants • • • Congratulations are extended to Barbara and Jack Gallagher on the birth of their first child, a daughter. Feb 9. I had the

pleasure of meeting the new Ms Gallagher last weekend and can attest to her well behaved nature and "good looks" • • • BATTLE LINES seem to be drawn between Wildwood City Council and the Wildwood School Board over the maintenance of the Maxwell Field complex in Wildwood. and again, at the heart of a controversial issue is neighboring community use of a facility that happens to be located in Wildwood We hear it often concerning Wildwood Convention Hall Wildwood taxpayers indirectly support the facility by sacrificing park ing lot revenue rather than reducing local purpose taxes through their receipt With Maxwell Field, the city council wants the school board to budget for the facility's maintenance because students from each Island municipality use the facility for schoolsponsored and sanctioned activities Under the council's recommended plan, the school board would insert the budget item and through the formula of "sending district" fees. recoup a portion of the maintenance by increasing the fees the other com mumties pay to Wildwood for students attending the high school WILDWOOD S Mayor Victor DiSylvenster implied that the voters should reject the budget if the maintenance clause is not inserted If the budget is rejected by the voters. City Council, then bears the burden of rewriting it and resubmission for revote With only a third of the School Board members in attendance at the meeting with council, a decision was impossible to reach, although the board indicated that it may be too late to address the issue this year While all of the discussion goes on concerning the Maxwell Field Complex, many students are grateful for the continuing efforts of the Greater Wildwood Jaycees. who have an ongoing program of events designed to generate revenues to upgrade and maintain the sports field and its various buildings, which is all the more reason to attend the Jaycees funtime basketball game 7 30 pm Friday in the Wildwood Gym This enjoyable evening will feature the Greater Wildwood All Stars playing against the Philadelphia Eagles Plan to attend
