Here's Dolly J By Detiy Stango

it's new through the efforts of City Manager Fred Coldten. Cape May has received a recycling grant thus making it possible for residents to benefit from increased services which will be paid for by the state. The grant was disclosed at the combined meeting of the Environmental commission and the Mayor's Advisory Committee with chairpersons Charlotte Todd and Dolly Stango presiding. Also "in attendance were Coldren. Dave Carrick. the new superintendent of water and sewers. Bruce Graham. city engineer, and Ed Gill, licensed operator for the water system. CARRICK ADVISED that the city now has better water distribution and Gill stated there were no bad samples and that wells were tested monthly Graham, after making several recommendations. stated that the shore area always has had a sodium problem. The main thrust, however, is that we all need to pay more attention to water conservation. This very important subject is to be brought to the attention of all Cape May residents, and we will all be hearing more on this shortly, says Coldren. Another interesting speaker was Environmental Commission member Howard Davis ( he's also on the Mayor's Advisory Commit tee), explaining <he "reverse osmosis" method whereby pure water can be obtained with the fluid passing through membrane. He on to way that a mail

order store is now advertising a gadget which attaches to a home faucet to purify the water, the cost of which is approximately $100.
