TV. Wildwood Taking Sewage Plans to DEP

NORTH WILDWOOD - Mayor Lewis (I. Vinci and other city officials will try to persuade the Depart ment of Environmental Protection (DEP) to approve plans for a $1 million upgrading of the city's sewage treatment system tomorrow. "We will do our best to convince them that North Wildwood intends to come to grips with our sewer woes." Vinci said of the proposed trip to Trenton. Vinci said the City Counc i I has approved a $1 million bond issue. $700,000 of which will be spent to improve the sewer plant so it will not back up next summer THE ADDITIONAL $300,000 will be spent on the collection system which will continue to In* owned

by the city. Vinci said. Wildwood beaches were closed six days in August when the sewer system of three towns overflowed as the result of rain and heavyusage. Vinci said As a result of the ocean pollution, the DEP on Aug. 28 set a moratorium on new connections to the system. Vinci said he hopes the proposed upgrading will . permit projects which had received building permits and were substantially under way at the time of the moratorium to be connected to the improved system. THE CITY'S existing plant has a capacity for handling 2.1 million gallons of sewage a day. and twice this amount during the peak flow periods at the height of the tourists season. Vinci said .MllMNI. tlllll .-Hllll

Planned improvements wdl increase plant capacity to 3.2 million gallons a day. and up to 6.2 million gallons a day during peak periods. Vinci said. The increased capacity will more than meet the crisis flow of last summer. Vinci said The extra capacity will prevent back-up into the system, and possible attendant backbay pollution. Vinci said TO PREVENT the intru sion of storm water into the system. Vinci said newwatertight frames and covers will be installed on vents and manholes. Vinci said Also. Vinci said, house laterals in flood prone areas will be plugged or extended vertically to prevent surface water from entering the sewers Vinci said North Wilwood is the first of three Five Mile Beach communities to deal with sewer problems by awarding a contract to the engineering firm of VanNote- Harvey Associates to design the improvements VINCI SAID he will take with him on his visit to \ Trenton a feasibility studydeveloped by engineer Ralph Petrella for presentation to the DEP Vinci said that although the upgraded plant will be closed when the county Municipal Utilities Authority sewage treatment system is completed in 1988. the expenditure on the improvements "is small when you consider the impact on the area's tourist -based economy " And if there are delays in i the MUA project. North Wildwood would be opera- I tional. Vinci pointed out i

People are getting itchy about the possible recall of Mayor Rachel Sloan of Avalon. So far we've gotten three phone calls asking how to get an absentee voter's ballot. We called Borough Clerk Dot Brennan and the minute she heard our voice she laughed and said "No M'Ellen, the other shoe hasn't dropped yet." Meaning: No petition had been filed as of Oct. 18. After a petition has been filed she has 10 days from that date to check 400 valid signatures and set a date for a special election in "not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days from the date of filing". ) Now hear this: Absentee ballots may be picked up at Borough Hall., filled out and taken or mailed to the County Clerk in Cape May Court House This is an important election and every resident of Avalon has an obligation to get a civilian absentee ballot application before leaving the area. We're sure everyone will want to be counted in a decision affecting his own community. STONE HARBOR Re publican.

Plenty of dancing talent loo. Milt and ELsie Kuhn are sheer delight to watch. There were lots of Avalon people We sat with Pauline and Paul Murphy. Pauline's is one lovely voice you hear at St. Mary's when the choir is performing. WE TORE ourselves away and dashed to Avalon in time to make the Oktoberfest the Sea Lions held at the Windrift the same night, leaving one group of beautiful people for another. We didn't see too many familiar faces at first until Bonnie and George Feise, Catherine- and Dr. Joe McMenamin andd Ernie and Ruthie Blair invited us to join their very active table. First question they asked was "Did you see Elsie and Milt there?" As we answered Fred and Estrllr Kuhn arrived and started dancing there too. Joanne Evans sang I.iederkranz in an authentic German costume, did it in the schmaltzy, sentimental way. very reminiscent of old beer gartens. Dan Keen and his group made music for dancing and lots and lots of lucky people won prizes. Sea Lions president Marie Frappoli. in a divine white knit, helped with the drawing and she and Bobbie Worthley. who chaired the affair. stopped by to talk frequently Bonnie Feise. who never sat down all night, provided lovely flower arrangements for prizes and didn't win one!
