10 — SECTION ONE Handful of issues dominate candidates' discussion By MARGIE BOWEN SntlKl-UdgerStia SOTffiM FOOT - Nearly 10 people attended the loci! Improvement aiioclaUensponsorad candidates' night here last Tuesday evening to hear the views of four Coundl candidates and two mayoral hopefuls. A considerable portion of the two-hour event consisted of bickering between members of the crowd and some candidates, and questions meetly dealt with the city's recent purchase of • computer, the 87 percent sewerage rate hike and the proposed condemnation of the Bethel Road flrehouH. While some felt the firefighters' Issue — which began in 1981 whin the city's two fire companies walked out In protest of the layoffs of five fire dispatchers due to budget cuts — would be stepped over In this campaign unlike previous election*, question to candidates Tuesday night showed that the matter was still very much In toe public's mind, " The city U currently researching the benefits of condemnation of the building, which Is owned by the Somen Point Volunteer Fire Com. pany One Inc. "It only happened because at a few hard heads on both sides," offered Incumbent Republican Mayor Harvey L. Smith, who U seeking Ha third term, about be walkout. Smith said the city baa three options, to continue the status quo in which both companies share the facility, have the city build in own BrehouM or condemn At Bethel Road property and building under eminent domain. He said there wasn't enough Information regarding the choices for him to make a decision. Running against Smith I* former Council president Fred Fontana who at the time of the. questioning wai unavailable due to a previous commitment at the Someri Point Little League award's dtantr. Democrat Charles Murray, tie Second Ward candlatc running against incumbent Ofllr Kesnig, called for a compromise on tta issue, as did republican Elmer Carry, a former councilman running tor the First Ward seat being vacated by George Hyatt, who lin't seeking rMlwtlon, Carty'g opponent, John Hill, a Democrat, said Mat he isn't In favor of condemnation because it would cost the taxpayers more money. "Nothing U gained by It," HUi said of condemnation, noting that the city could get use of the facility I' It negotiated with the former Fire Company Qn». Incumbent First Ward Councilwoman Kesnig agreed with Smith uying that more Information would be needed for Council to make a decision. The city, she said would alto have to find out where the money to purchase the facility in condemnation would go: to the fire company or to be disbursed by the state. When asked by Somera point Improvement Association President Ruth Lane if the candidate would support a move to make the dty budget subject to voter approval like tne school budget is, all candidates said hey would support such a measure. The recent council purchase of a computer and If* software which will co«t more than 1130,000 drew much public Questioning. However all fee candidates except 190 hit the purchase was a slip in the right direction. Hill said he felt the city was "jumping the gun" when It purchased the computer and that It would be financially wiser to rent computer tpaee. In his opening remarta, Smith noted his recent decision to take an early retirement in order to denote full time as mayor. Re stressed Ms experience and community work as reasons why he should be re-elected. "I'ma very active mayor," Smith Raid, "I believe In afl the organisations of this city... I believe I'm out there to represent the people. I win be here to provide the extra leadership to keep our town vibrant, to keep good sound ratibles and to keep fee tax mte down." Fontana, who arrived shortly before the end of the session, said he felt the dty should go "slow ud easy" on condominium development and require sidewalks to be put in by developers. "Our bays are being raped by dragging the bottom," he said adding that the B.L. England Generating Station in Beesley's Point and maybe even tbe hospital are dumping pollutants into the atmosphere. Fontana also cited hji two terms on Counefl and tote years as Coundl president at experience for the Job, He said that in spit* of Us Job as an airline pilot for Eastern Airlines, he will have time to devote to tbe position. First Ward Council candidate Carty noted his nineyears on Coundl and membership on the Planning Board aa valuable experience for the position. He said whin health problems forced him to give up public office he felt he didn't finish the Job be was ejected to do. He said he's been a Democrat, Republican and an Independent "It has hurt that I new finished the Job,*' he uJd. "1 ftlnk I can do a hell o* a good jab, I have the time to spend," HB, who U also active In the Sharks FootbaU Association and Little League, said Ha main reason for running was his three children and •IHIMMJ than to grow up in a good community. "I want Somen Point to keep me Step ahead of other oommunlnea," Hill said. Kesnig echoed Hill's reasons for running, saying ttat her children were raJMd here and her grandchildren are being railed here. She said she wants to be Democratic challenger Murray said that be Hkta what he sees In Soraers Point THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27. ii« PHOTO BY Saner stjjla Somera Point Council candidates Elmer Carty, John Hill, Clair Kesnig, Charlei Murray, a Mayor Harvey L.

The savings over the next 15 to 20 years can be over $350,000 in the Correctional Center alone," Evans explained. "We have performed energy audits on all the county buildings.
