By GREGG LAWSON COURT HOUSE - County freeholders are balking at the idea of paying 525,000 to the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for additional right of way at the Middle Thorofare (Russ Chattin) Bridge. As part of a $5-6 million restoration of the bridge, damaged by Hurricane Gloria, plans call for additional right of way on the north side of Corson's Inlet. The parcel is part of the state park, and falls under the DEP's Division of Parks and Forestry. Freeholder James S. Kilpatrick Jr. said DepartI ment of Transportation of- [ ficials told him the value of I the land is actually $7,000, I with the additional $18,000 I going to "administrative Jj costs." THE BRIDGE reconstruction is a state project funded by federal money, and Kilpatrick said no federal funds are available for the purchase "There are no federal funds for one governing body to buy an easement of land from another governing body, being the state of New Jersey," Kilpatrick told freeholders at their June 5 meeting. Kilpatrick recommended paying the $25,000 and sending a "strongly worded" letter to the state about the $18,000 administrative costs, "otherwise we're going to hold up this project. " Freeholder Director William E. Sturm Jr. suggested a trade-off, using county-owned land at Routes 9 and 47. KILPATRICK SAID DOT. not the DEP. was interested in that parcel. "I don't see any way we can trade that land on Route 9," Kilpatrick told this newspaper. "We're dealing with DEP, not DOT" Freeholder Gerald M Thornton called the price "absolutely ridiculous" and mentioned an agreement that has the county Health Department enforcing some environmental regulations. "Do we charge them for that?" 'Thornton asked. "This borders on the ridiculous " FREEHOLDERS AGREED to postpone a decision for two weeks, hoping for an alternative in the meantime. "We're trying to find a way not to pay the $25,000," Kilpatrick told this newspaper. "If not, I'll recommend the board pay the $25,000 with the caveat that we get $18,000 in change. "It's essential this right of way is acquired so we can complete the project," he added. "We want to get

this thing rolling so we don't inconvenience people any further." Kilpatrick said that until the bridge is completed, the New Jersey Transit bus will have to leave Ocean Drive, detour on Sea Isle City Boulevard, travel south on the Garden State Parkway and re-enter at Ocean City. "It's stupid for them (DEP) to hold us up. because the state park will benefit from this bridge project." Kilpatrick said. "We say that's insane." Kilpatrick is scheduled to attend the New Jersey Association of Countys Convention this Thursday and Friday, and said he hopes to discuss the matter with DEP and DOT commissioners.
