Two-shift dredge operation needed before winter
City workers along with an area contractor should
be busy at the end of Seacliff Rd. today or tomorrow
filling nylon bags with cement to help shore up badly
eroding beaches in the area.
Apparently the city fully intends to pick up the
$6,000 to $8,000 tab for the operation because an
emergency situation exists in which property is
threatened by an imminent danger.
Seacliff Rd., however, promises to be only one of a
string of erosion problems this winter as the beaches
here and all along the Jersey shore are more
vulnerable than they have been in more than a
decade according to officials with the state Department
of Environmental Protection.
Series of late spring northeast storms ravaged the
beaches here and elsewhere leaving little time for the
summer build-up for another winter of erosion
battles. Consequently, the amount of sand along the
shoreline is far short of what is needed for winter
tidal protection.
While other shore communities have no immediate
remedy available to begin preventative measures,
Ocean City does, but little if nothing has been said
about it.
There is no question that the city dredge, the
Sandpiper, is capable of pumping enough material
onto the beaches to protect at least some spots if not
the entire shoreline.
features
Menu item with growing popularity
However, it was pointed out during the spring
campaign, and agreed to by all three mayoral candidates,
that utilizing the dredge for only one eighthour
shift is a totally worthless venture.
At least two, and preferably three, shifts are
needed to keep ahead of tidal movements and begin
the badly needed building process.
Recognizing this fact during a campaign that was
far from a sure victory, then candidate and now
Mayor Chester J. Wimberg overruled earlier
statements that there was not enough money in the
budget for a second shift and immediately signed on
more employees for a 16-hour operation.
Now, however, when the dredge is needed more
than ever. Wimberg has announced that the employees
are being laid off and the dredge will revert
to its one, probably useless eight-hour shift.
Recognizing an imminent danger, council last
week appropriated $50,000 for the north end project.
Rather than running all winter with emergency
appropriations for "band-aid measures," perhaps
it's time now to consider appropriating the needed
funds for continued double shift operation of the
dredge.
Dog owner cooperation needed
Somers Point last week joined in with Ocean City's
battle against dog deposits and passed a "pboper
scooper" ordinance.
More and more people are rising against dog
owners who have little regard for the health or
property of others when they take their animals for
daily walks.
Hopefully this group of discourteous people are in
the minority of pet holders, but there are enough to
cause people to rise up in arms, which is a shame for
the responsible dog owners.
At a hearing in Ocean City last week, Police Chief
Dominick C. Longo said it will be up to the people to
help law enforcement officers nail the irresponsible
people after the'ordinance is passed here.
The same will probably be true in Somers Point.
Once the law has been in force in both cities for
some time and the irresponsible pet owners find they
can no longer let their dogs roam at large or despoil
other people's property with impunity, perhaps dogs
once again can attain their position as "man's best
friend."
Scientists study uses of the not-so-famous tilefish
Although they've beenaround
these parts for at least
100 years, tilefish haven't
exactly become a household
word — yet.
If you've never heard of
them, you're not alone.
Scientists don't even know very
much about them, at least for
now.
But there are fishermen in
New Jersey and marine
biologists at Rutgers University
who are trying to bring all
of us up to date.
Since the late 1960s a handful
of charter....and-v party ..boat
captainstilang the J«roey-shore
have been taking sport
fishermen to tilefishing
grounds when other fishing has
been slow.
Commercial fishermen,
particularly out of Barnegat
Light, have caught tons of the
fish in recent years, prompting
publicity for that community as
"tilefish capital of the world."
Marine biologists at Cook and
Rutgers colleges of the State
University are seeking to
develop a sound biological basis
for management of the important
and developing fishery
to optimize yield and minimize
depletion of the stocks.
Funded by a N.J. Sea Grant
under the auspices of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration,
Churchill Grimes of Cook
College and Kenneth W. Able of
Rutgers College are collecting
and studying specimens in an
effort to learn more about
Lopholatllus chamaeleonticeps,commonly
known as the
tilefish.
"It's really an interesting
animal," said Grimes, "but its
biology is virtually unknown.
There ha* been almost no
research done on tilefish
despite the fact that fishing is
going great guns."
Tilefish have been appearing
increasingly on restaurant
menus, on the food pages of
newspapers, and on crushed ice
in fish market bins — all to the
delight of fish lovers.
The deep-sea denizen is
rapidly gaining favor at the
table because of its mild-tasting
flesh — variously described by
those with discerning palates as
rirn ||ar to that of lobster.
shrimp, crab or red snapper.
The first tilefish were caught
and within a few years they
were being landed in substantial
numbers, then in the
•80s, millions succumbed In a
mysterious kill and the species

• They recurred in the early
part of this century, and the
fishery was substantial but fish
were marketed under such
names as "ocean perch." They
m\*n probably turned up in fish
sticks and the like, Grimes
•kid.
In recent years, however,
commercial landings have
increased steadily — from
some70,000pounds in 1968 to 4.5
Tilefish occur from the Gulf
of Maine south to Guiana and
throughout the Gulf of Mexico.
Tney inhabit burrows in submarine
canyon heads and
glacial boulder fields where
they bottom-feed mainly on
crustaceans.
They can be found more than
80 miles at sea and at depths of
50 to 120 fathoms. The closest
"hot spot" for New Jersey
fishermen is Hudson Canyon.
The travel distance, fishing
depth and abundance of other
species, Able suggests, account
in some measure for the
creature's relative anonymity,
as do the strenuous fishing
methods. " " "
Commercial fishermen
typically string 10 to 15 miles of
line, on the bottom with baited
hooks every IS feet, marked
with floating buoys, while sport
fishermen use stout rods fitted
with large electric reels loaded
with hundreds of yards of line
testing SO pounds or more.

Tilefish are colorful with
bluish to olive-green on the
back and upper part of the
sides, changing to yellow or
rose «n lower sides and belly.
Various -,flns are dusky or
greenish-yellow or pink with
purple to blue iridescence.
They have a large head and a
stout body that can grow to 50
pounds or more. They average
10 to 15 pounds.
There are several versions of
how tilefish got their name; the
most common explanation is
that they are said to cover the
bottom of the sea like tiles on a
roof.
"Management of an animal
resource is based on a sound

within the inner ear of the fish.
The scientists are also conducting
what they call "racial"
studies, to determine if there
are distinct sub-groups within
the species having different
characteristics that might
require different management
strategies.
Research techniques range
from simply measuring the fish
to sophisticated scientific
analysis of genetic variation in
eye, liver, and muscle protein.
Through the cooperation of
fishermen and the National
Marine Fisheries Service,
Grimes and Able have acquired
specimens from the Gulf of
Mexico, the South Atlantic
bight and the Mid-Atlantic
bight.
All data is subjected to
rigorous statistical analysis to
determine if there are real
differences among fish from
the three areas-
Preliminary indications are
that fish from the Gulf of
Mexico and the South Atlantic
bight are similar while Mid-
Atlantic inhabitants show some
genetic variations.
The scientists have completed
one year's research and
need to conduct two more
before they can hope to predict
the effects of different levels
and strategies of fishing on
yield.
While fishermen continue to
ply the depths for tilefish and
biologists attempt to learn
more about their prey, the
combined efforts may well
make the forgotten tilefish a
household word again — partlculary
at dinner tune.
A glimpse of Ocean City's past
By CATHERINE M. BOWEN
Society Editor
In this day of crowded highways with the multitude of
automobiles, it is interesting to look back on transportation of a few
decades ago.
Ocean City had a number of public transportation services including
a train which ran between Ocean City and Stone Harbor
about 1900, a stage coach route back in the late 1700s, train service
from Philadelphia and many others.
Public transportation within Ocean City was provided by an
electric railroad open-air car which ran from Steamboat Wharf at
aid St. and the bay down to 59th St. The cars met the ferry which
brought passengers from Longport and traveled to the southern
end of Ocean City using Battersea Rd., Atlantic Av., Wesley Av.
and Central Av.
It is reported many folks would pack a lunch basket, board the
trolley for the ride to the undeveloped south end of the island, enjoy
a day on the deserted beach complete with picnic lunch, then
ride the trolley back into town. The trolley had fallen on bad times
and finally came to an end in 1929.
This first photo shows the old open-air car and the next pMolo
shows a later enclosed version of the trolley. The third photo shows
the trolley on its route to the south end. This photo was taken in the
800 block of Wesley Av.
There was another type of railroad in Ocean City. This one
connected the Island to the mainland and continued on into Atlantic
aty.
The line was originally opened in 1910 going from Ocean City
through Somers Point, Iinwood, Northfield and terminating in
Pleasantville. The line later was extended to continue to Virginia
Av. and the boardwalk.
Trains left the terminal here at 8th St. and the boardwalk every
hour. This service, continued until World War II when it was
abandoned and in 1946 the bridges across the bay were removed.
These two photos stow the terminal at 8tb St and the boardwalk
and one of the dr»w bridge* which craned the bay.
This is the way it
