Waste-to-Energy: New Study Slated

SWAINTON - Cape May County MUA officials said last week they want to move ahead on plans to conduct a regional waste to-energy feasibility study following Cumberland County's decision to join the effort Atlantic County had already indicated an interest in participating "The technology of converting solid waste to electricity and steam is an area we have been exploring in Cape May County for several months." William F.X. Band, MUA chairman. said. "Now to conFamilies Sought As Hosts VILLAS — Charles and Toni Miles have announced that they have received several applications from European teenagers who will be spending the 1965-86 school year in New Jersey, sponsored by Educational Foundation for Foreign Study. As area representatives for the EFFS high school exchange program, the Miles will be interviewing and selecting local host families for next year's students The students are between 15 and 18 and come from countries throughout Western Europe, including Denmark. Italy, Spain, and Germany They arrive in August to spend 10 months living with American families while attending local high schools THE PROGRAM provides a two-way learning and sharing opportunity and a chance to understand and apprecieate a different culture Educational Foundation invites a family accepted as hosts for the year ahead to review several applications to select the boy or girl with whom it would like to share its home An early decision to host gives a family time to correspond with the future "son" or daughter" and begin to build a friendship To learn more about the program or apply to serve as a 1965-86 host famlily. call Mrs Miles at 886-7577

sider the feasibility of establishing a regional resource recovery facility, joining Cumberland and Atlantic Counties, presents another alternative we feel we should explore ." BAND SAID the MUA wants to look at all options which may be available for the proper disposal of solid waste. "We must be sure that we implement the least costly, environmentally acceptable alternative," he noted Since each of the counties is currently proceeding with its own study related to selection and siting of waste-to-energy facilities. Band said he believed the multi-county study should be completed as soon as possible to give each county a clear direction in how to proceed "Although Cape May was the first county in the state to construct a lined sanitary landfill, this is still especially important to us," Band stated, "since our goal is to have a resource recovery facility operational before 1969." THE CONCEPT of "trash-for-ash" previously discussed between Atlantic and Cape May Counties lis no longer under considera tion That proposal called for Atlantic County to incinerate the solid waste of the two counties and dispose of the ash in Cape May County's landfill Gerald Thornton. Cape May County Freeholder Director, said, "We have taken the position that we will not enter into agreements with other counties that have not chosen sites for new sanitary landfills." All counties have agreed. that the results of the study must show the concept is beneficial to all involved before a regional resource recovery project could proceed Representatives from Cape May, Atlantic, and Cumberland Counties authorized the Cape May and Atlantic Utility Authorities and the Cumberland County Improvement Authority to work together in the development of a scope of work for the study Representatives from Salem County indicated interest in a joint study but reported they wanted to consider the matter further

Court Cost Shift Hailed TRENTON - Senator James R Hurley. R-Cape May. Cumberland, hailed the passage of legislation by the New Jersey Senate that would have the state assume all county court costs, because "it will reduce the heavy property tax burden on residents". "The counties in this state spend a total of $120 million annually to maintain their court systems." said Senator Hurley "in my district, for example, both Cape May and Cumberland Counties each spend $1.3 million annually to maintain their court systems "Court costs account for a major line item in the county's budget and, therefore, impact directly on property taxes. By hav ing the state pay all court costs. we will give the property owners of this state a much-needed tax break "
