Cape May Tennis Club has advised City Council it is displeased with MidAtlantic Center for the Arts' proposal to use a 125-square foot piece of ground between the two facilities for parking. W. Marshall Anders, president of the club, last week told council he was "painfully surprised" to learn of MAC's request to "take ground away from the tennis club, and give it • to the Physick Estate (where MAC is located) " Anders said the club has spent $34,000 to put in two new courts that have brought in new numbers and have attracted people from Avalon. Stone Harbor. Wildwood Crest, and even Pennsylvania and Delaware. •WE WANT TO CONTINUE to bring people in. but we can't continue if you take ground away." said Anders. Anders said MAC 'has plenty of parking around the Physical Estate, but they don't use it." In response to a suggestion from Mayhr Arthur Blomkvest that the club and MAC meet to work out the problem. Anders said he spoke on the phone to MAC president Tom Carroll. "Carroll was all honey and lollipops, but I told him we want to be friendly and get along, but it's hard to
be palsy-walsy with some one who is trying to take something away from you." Anders said. Urging the two groups to settle their differences, Blomkvest said. "We are proud of both organizations. Both are an asset to the community." MAYOR ARTHUR BLOMKVEST has a message for truckers making deliveries in Cape May : Use available unloading zones or be ticketed. "We have warned them and warned them." the mayor said at a recent council meeting. "This year they are going to be ticketed." Blomkvest said truckers have been ignoring designated unloading zones at Decator and Jackson streets. Columbia Avenue and Ocean Street, and in front of Carney's on Beach Avenue. Trucks operated by Wise Potato Chips and Marine Italian Bakery are prominent among those that unload anywhere and tie up traffic, Blomkvest said. "They don't want to wheel anything 20 or 30 steps from where they are going. It's too much trouble for them" he said. Merchants, the mayor said, can help by urging delivery men to use the zones. Planning continues on the creation of additional zones. Blomkvest said. Asked by Steve Peckiconis if they would be ready by summer or fall, the mayor said. "I don't know. The state Department of Transportation has to approve them." AS PREDICTED in this space last week. City Council plans to extend restrictions on the riding of bicycles on the beachfront promenade. Currently, bikes can only I be operated on the pro1 menade between the hours \ of 4 a.m. and 10 a.m . from Jl May 15 to Sept. 1. An ordinance that extends the ban from May I to Oct. 31 has been scheduled for a public hearing on June 2. "We've had problems with skateboards and bikes on the promenade especially on weekends, and we'd like to stop the bikes." said Mayor Blomkvest. ANOTHER ORDl NANCE that will come up for adoption on June 2 gives Beach Patrol Capt. Harry "Buzz" Mogck the right to decide which citybeaches can be used by surfers. The measure also permits city officials to set the period from June 1 to Sept. 30 when bathers must have beach tags on a year-to-year basis regardless of calendar shifts.

"The other possibility is that they are pushing for a five-year permit to burn at the site so they could do between nine and eleven burns a year." said • Obergfell. CAPE MAY has hired GCI Transcription & Recording Service of 327 Central Ave., Linwood. to transcribe the minutes of ) city agencies. No information was given on the cost ) of the service.
