DUR1NC COUNCIL'S work session last week. Deputy Mayor Joseph Davis criticized his colleagues for appointing assistant township construction supervisor Freeman Douglass last month to one of two vacancies on the five-member township MUA. Davis, who could not attend the May 20 council meeting when the appointments were announced, objected to Douglass' appointment to the $21,00 MUA seat because he's already on the municipal payroll and because "it's a conflict of interest." As the deputy mayor told Township Manager James R. Stump, MUA executive director, "You're his boss up here and he's your boss down there (at the MUA)." DAVIS LAST WEEK also objected to council's $500 contribution last month for the township Chamber of Commerce fishing tournament. Businesses should finance the event, not the township, the deputy mayor argued. r Councilman Robert Conroy noted that the contribution would be drawn from mercantile license fees paid by businesses but, Davis maintained, "It's still taxpayers' money; it comes out of the general kitty. "I feel we should slow this giving away up a bit," he added. The contribution, Conroy repeated, wasn't from the general fund but from mercantile fees paid by the businesses. "It also should be used." he said, for their benefit. RASCHKE AND HIS Pine Tree Drive neighbor, Henry Krawiec. griped to council during its regular session last week about their neighbor's cats. "I've got a major problem; it stinks," said Krawiec. "It's not funny," said Raschke, responding to the smiles from councilmen. "I'm going to start shooting those. ..damn cats." He said he wanted something done imiSi You con trust fcMrTj your house to - YOU* HOME IMPROVEMENT HEADQUARTERS Siding Rooting Guttering Carpet Fencing Kitchen* Heating A Air Conditioning Bathrooms Storm Windows Insulation Water Heaters Storm poors Mobile Home Roofovert CAU FOR FREE ESTIMATES WILDWOOD 522-0211 COURT HOUSE 445-3141 0

I EIGHTY-FOUR streets have been marked for 5 repairs this year but. Councilman Joseph Lonergan t told council last week, he's i not satisfied with the I township engineer's study on drainage problems in North Cape May that's delaying repairs to streets there. Referring to Andrew Previti of Walker, Previti. Totten & Holmes of Ocean City, Lonergan complained: "I think he's been giving us the business. I think he's been doing it for a long time." He told his colleagues he thinks "we should look for a new engineer." Lonergan and North Cape May residents from the affected streets were scheduled to discuss the persistent drainage problems with Manager Stump last Monday. Lonergan asked Stump to see that Previti attended. SENIOR AIRMAN John E.
