Banner Planes (And Charges) Continue to Fly

By JACK SMYTH ERMA — Charges continued to fly this week between the County Board of Freeholders and the Federal Aviation Administration over the possible loss of federal funds if the freeholders insist that advertising banners can no longer be towed from Cape May County Airport. Similarly, Freeholder Herbert C. Frederick and Thurman Mason, president of Astro Aerial Advertising, a banner towing company, disputed each other on the question of FAA safety regulations. Mason, of Blackwood, has obtained a court order in U.S. District Court in Camden, and is still towing banners from the airport. But Cape May restauranteur George W. Feitz, who tows a single banner, remains grounded. "THERE IS NO MONEY in the pipeline," Frederick said in reference to a warning from the FAA that the airport would lose $226,030 in federal grants if county officials refused to renew a lease to permit Mason to tow banners. But Mira Rosen, Public affairs administrator for the FAA's eastern region, said there are still federal funds at stake. "The report that the airport was still owed $226,030 was wrong," Rosen said in a telephone interview Monday. "But there is an amount of $153,250.95 still not paid to the airport " REGARDLESS OF whether federal grant money has or has not been paid. Rosen said the airport is still obligated to fulfill the terms of the grants for a period of 20 years. Rosen said the county has been notified that refusal to permit banner towing would place it in non-compliance with the

terms of the grants. Frederick said the refusal to renew Manson's lease was based on FAA regulations that banner towing operations "are not permitted to operate within 500 feet of an active runway." WE ARE ONLY TRYING to enforce FAA regulations." Frederick said. Rebutting Frederick. Mason said there are a number of locations at the airport outside the 500-foot restriction. Frederick for the first time acknowledged that allegations of unsafe operation directed toward Mason did not apply to Cape May restauranteur George W Feitz. "Feitz' safety record is clean." said Frederick. "He just happens to be the victim of circumstance." FREDERICK SAID the county has refused to renew Feitz' lease to tow a banner advertising the Winchester Inn, 513 Lafayette St., because of the 500-foot restriction. Frederick said the FAA stance on funding puts them in the light of going against their own safetyregulations. "You see the strong support they are giving Mason," he said. "If they are going to let him fly. they should share the financial responsibility." Frederick claimed the ban on banner towing was prompted by the accidental death of a teen-age youth who fell to his death at the airport last summer after his foot became entangled in a banner. ASKED WHY the county had never acted before and had sanctioned banner towing for almost 30 years, Frederick said, "I can't straighten out what's happened for 20 years. I don't know all the problems that exist."

Frederick said, "When something comes to our attention, I would be remiss if I did nothing. What was good 30 years ago is not good today. The population of the area has grown." Banner towers, Frederick said, "do have other alternatives." he suggested they use private fields.

Food Bill Advances TRENTON -A biU sponsored by Assemblyman Guy F. Muziani that would appropriate $700,000 to aid in the distribution of commodities and funds for an existing emergency food assistance program was approved June 9 by the Assembly Economic Development and Agriculture Committee. The measure, A-481, would provide funds for storage, trucking and other costs related to federal and state efforts to provide emergency food assistance under the federal emergency job appropriations act. "THESE FUNDS are necessary to avoid any problems in getting the food to the people who need it," said Muziani, R-Cape May. Cumberland. "We need to be sure we have the money to transport goods so that these desperately-needed provisons don't go to waste." Muziani explained that during the last three years, the federal government has not only provided the food commodities but has also authorized funding for the states to distribute the food. The bill was approved by a committee vote of 7-0.
