Politics Charged On Council's Vote

LOWER TOWNSHIP - "Because people are playing politics here in Lower Township, the taxpayers might get hit in their pocketbooks." according to Robert Conroy Jr.. Edward Yates and Phyllis Genovese. three Republican-backed candidates for township council. "Many of you have read recently about an ordinance providing $5,000 for the mov-.--P* of the old municipal ' ouilding to the countyowned Cold Spring Village, that was turned down," the candidates said. "ALTHOUGH during many meetings, as' far as a year ago. the project was discussed and agreed upon." they added, "and. in addition, the night the ordinance was turned down it had received approval to pay as a bill approved, it still was turned down as far as the ordinance was concerned." The total cost qfjiftving the building was $/flOO plus another $777 to disconnect gas. electric and water lines and separate the old building from a newer addition, the trio went on. It was agreed the township would pay $5,000 and the County would pay the $2,500 addi lional moving costs, they said "THIS IS A totally ludicrous situation to approve paying the bill and

then voting down an ordinance after the fact." the three said. "It can only be political without any thought of the consequences to the taxpayers." If the building had to be demolished, it would have cost the taxpayers some $17,000. By having it moved, and giving it to the County, a total of $12,000 could be saved, the candidates claim "A check has been made out and is being held in Municipal Hall until the problem can be resolved." they concluded. "The township is holding the deed and because some people want to play politics by not voting for what they had agreed upon, a law suit could cost the taxpayers a lot more money,"
