PAGE I — SECTION TWO THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, <strong>1974</strong><br />
Not to be minimized<br />
Errors in real property assessments<br />
made more than two years ago are<br />
now coming to light despite an attempt<br />
by both the city tax assessor and the<br />
County Board <strong>of</strong> Taxation to 'play<br />
down" the mistakes.<br />
Even more shocking is the ad-<br />
mission by D Allen Stretch, Jr., whose<br />
staff did the land assessments, that<br />
computer tapes used to compile the<br />
land values were incorrect hut werp<br />
used anyway.<br />
The facts are that there were not just<br />
a few mistakes involving a few dollars,<br />
but up to 2,000 errors involving<br />
millions <strong>of</strong> dollars in assessments.<br />
Problems <strong>of</strong> this magnitude should not<br />
be minimized.<br />
Now that the story is out in the open.<br />
Assessor Charles Chdppatte should<br />
come out with all the facts and<br />
figures. After everything has been<br />
examined by the County Board <strong>of</strong><br />
Taxation a decision can then be made<br />
about whether to conduct another<br />
complete revaluation<br />
Public reaction to the errors has<br />
been one <strong>of</strong> outrage, and rightly so.<br />
The tersely written letters seit out by<br />
the assessor's <strong>of</strong>fice are confusing No<br />
where is there mention <strong>of</strong> an error or<br />
who made it The letters just note that<br />
land values have been recomputed and<br />
list the adjusted figure<br />
The Assessor's <strong>of</strong>fice has been<br />
working since early this year clearing<br />
up the errors, but no public mention<br />
was made <strong>of</strong> the mess until newspaper<br />
stories appeared severs) weeks ago<br />
Chappatte has N>#n IPSS than candid<br />
with the public.<br />
In areas <strong>of</strong> government where<br />
taxpayers money is directly involved<br />
the only sensible approach is on# <strong>of</strong><br />
openness and full disclosure <strong>of</strong> the<br />
facts. It is still not to late for an honest<br />
statement <strong>of</strong> the facts by the assessor<br />
There is no evidence <strong>of</strong> hanky panky<br />
in the 1972 revaluation, just sloppy<br />
work. The disquieting aspect <strong>of</strong> the<br />
whole thing is that the principals were<br />
apparently aware <strong>of</strong> the errors as they<br />
were being made. The problem was<br />
compounded further when no attempt<br />
was made to tell the taxpayers what<br />
had happened. And that's a mistnkp<br />
that will not hp forgotten quickly<br />
A special man<br />
The awarding <strong>of</strong> the Realtor <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Year award to <strong>City</strong> Treasurer Anthony<br />
E. Imbesi last week is more than a<br />
recognition <strong>of</strong> his accomplishments in<br />
the real estate^ business, it is a<br />
realization that Tony Imbesi has done<br />
an awful lot for <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> over the<br />
years, and done it well.<br />
The award was presented on the<br />
occasion <strong>of</strong> Tony and Mary Imbesi's<br />
50th wedding anniversary, which must<br />
have made it all the sweeter. But still<br />
there was more to it than that.<br />
Tony has been a licensed realtor<br />
since 1922 and has been city Treasurer<br />
for 27 years. He has been <strong>City</strong> Comp-<br />
troller for the past 12 years. He has<br />
also been custodian <strong>of</strong> schools funds<br />
for the past 27 years. That's the<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional side criCTony Imbesi,<br />
v; there is also T<strong>of</strong>lpmbesitt#8^tflf<br />
: jervice. He has been a memMr W the.<br />
Exchange Club, Southern District<br />
Governor and president <strong>of</strong> the State<br />
Exchange Qub. He was active in<br />
setting up the Little League <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ocean</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong>, was chairman <strong>of</strong> the committee<br />
which started the annual Halloween<br />
Parade here and worked on the annual<br />
welcoming <strong>of</strong> Santa Claus to town. And<br />
many other things too numerous to<br />
mention.<br />
Tony Imbesi is that strange breed <strong>of</strong><br />
public servant who is also a com-<br />
munity servant. He never sought<br />
elected public <strong>of</strong>fice, but has teen<br />
loyal to all the city administrations he<br />
has worked with. His longevity in the<br />
treasurer's job is testimony to his<br />
sincerity and capacity to get the job<br />
done.<br />
Lest Tony appear to be a saint,<br />
suffice it to say he is also a human<br />
being prone to failure and mistakes<br />
like everyone else. It is also a quality<br />
<strong>of</strong> this man that he knows his<br />
weaknesses and tries to correct them,<br />
"No reporter's question is ever too<br />
, insignificant to be answered. His <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
door is open to the press and the<br />
public. He has the affection and<br />
respect <strong>of</strong> those who work with h im, So<br />
we join with the Board <strong>of</strong> Realtors and<br />
congratulate their man <strong>of</strong> the year,<br />
and <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>'s man <strong>of</strong> the year.<br />

I Ordinance under attack<br />
I A group <strong>of</strong> boardwalk merchants<br />
through their attorney John Gilbert,<br />
Jr., have filed suit against the city<br />
attacking the resort's Sunday closing<br />
ordinance,<br />
. Gilbert has specifically asked the<br />
•J: court to rule that sections 1, 3,4,5,6,7,<br />
and 8 be declared invalid on con-<br />
stitutional grounds. This latest attack<br />
on the controversial ordinance is no<br />
real surprise. Rumors <strong>of</strong> the suit<br />
started last summer while private<br />
detectives hired by the Tabernacle<br />
Association patrolled the town looking<br />
tor Sunday sales violations.<br />
This is the first outright constitutional<br />
attack on the ordinance in recent<br />
years. Convictions under the or-<br />
dinance have been successfully ap-<br />
pealed to higher courts, but on those<br />
occasions sifting Judges have refused<br />
to listen to constitutional arguments.<br />
Gilbert claims that the sections <strong>of</strong><br />
the ordinance mentioned in his suit are<br />
"arbitrary, discriminatory, in-<br />
consistent, hypocritical, and unlawful,<br />
violating the New Jersey constitution<br />
in the equal protection clauses."<br />
<strong>On</strong> numerous occasions <strong>City</strong><br />
Solicitor Josiah E. DuBois, who wrote<br />
the ordinance 11 years ago, said it<br />
could be defended on constitutional<br />
grounds. Now it appears that question<br />
will be decided in a court <strong>of</strong> law.<br />
The suit brought by the boardwalk<br />
merchants could have far reaching<br />
effects if Gilbert is successful in<br />
getting the vast majority <strong>of</strong> the law<br />
ruled invalid. Without an enforcable<br />
Sunday law many <strong>of</strong> the things that<br />
make <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> unique and, in many<br />
ways a lot more pleasant, will he in<br />
jeopardy.<br />
<strong>On</strong> the other hand, if the ordinance is<br />
discriminatory and unconstitutional, it<br />
should be struck down by the court.<br />
Keeping this in mind, the-city com-<br />
missioners would be wise to think<br />
about possible revisions to the or-<br />
dinance. Such revisions could serve<br />
three purposes; to maintain <strong>Ocean</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong>'s traditional tone; to remove any<br />
discriminatory or inconsistent parts;<br />
and Insure protection <strong>of</strong> the ordinance<br />
from any future constitutional attacks.<br />
An historical event took place<br />
this past Thursday which<br />
should warm the hearts <strong>of</strong><br />
game show fanat ies for years to<br />
come.<br />
The House judiciary Sub-<br />
committee, with the consent <strong>of</strong><br />
the President <strong>of</strong> the United<br />
Slates, instituled its very own<br />
version <strong>of</strong> a quit show which<br />
was a sort <strong>of</strong> a Congressional<br />
combination <strong>of</strong> "I've Got a<br />
Secret" and "To Tell the<br />
Truth," Special guest star <strong>of</strong><br />
the show was the President<br />
himself, Gerild Ford<br />

Editor, Sentinel-Ledger:<br />
Some three weeks ago 1 read in<br />
the S.L. where the beach<br />
guards had been granted a<br />
raise in pay. also the lieutenant,<br />
I believe this to be a will<br />
merited raise.<br />
If I recall correctly, it was<br />
stated at the time that the pay<br />
<strong>of</strong> the lieutenant now was<br />
higher than that <strong>of</strong> the Captain<br />
This just doesn't seem<br />
"kosher" During the past few<br />
years from my observance<br />
Capt Lafferty has done an<br />
outstanding job in every<br />
respect and certainly deserves<br />
top pay. 1 've waited to see if the<br />
Commissioners were going to<br />
act <strong>of</strong> this phase, apparently a<br />
slip up, but having seen<br />
nothing. I feel in the interest <strong>of</strong><br />
justice to register this com-<br />
plaint I sincerely hope this will<br />
be acted upon favorably.<br />

that they are members <strong>of</strong> our<br />

Another variation on the<br />
same theme Is the worshipper<br />
who does come to the local<br />
church but who, after many<br />
yean <strong>of</strong> local participation,<br />
recoils in horror when asked if<br />
he hai transferred his mem-<br />
bership to the local church.<br />
Absolutely not! He will live,<br />
and die, a member <strong>of</strong> dear old<br />
Saint Swithins-iDthe-Swampa<br />
where he wu brought up, and<br />
how dare the shore clergy<br />
question his lujalty to that tine<br />
old parish<br />
These arc not in any way<br />
fanciful or imagined scenarios.<br />
They are the daily fare <strong>of</strong> those<br />
<strong>of</strong> us who struggle to build up<br />
the foundations and then the<br />
walls <strong>of</strong> functioninH and virile<br />
spiritually • oriented<br />
congregations on the Jersey<br />
Cape, It is genuinely hard for us<br />
to set what good it does dear old<br />
Saint Swithins to hive on its list<br />
the name <strong>of</strong> someone who has<br />
not been there in many years.<br />
But far more important is the<br />
reluctance <strong>of</strong> many people to<br />
jump in, all the way, with both<br />
feet, into the life <strong>of</strong> the new<br />
• community where they are in<br />
fact resident, where they ex-<br />
pect to vole, and where thev<br />
want to be known and heard<br />
How much more pleasing it<br />
would be • not only to the shore<br />
pastor but to God • if people<br />
would arrive, announce<br />
themselves, and pilch in! When<br />
we retire, we do not retire from<br />
religion. Rather, it should be<br />
that the increased freedom we<br />
hive, unencumbered by our<br />
secular work, makes us even<br />
more valuable as servants <strong>of</strong><br />
the Lord. We at the shore<br />
churches genuinely welcome<br />
our newcomers, and we really<br />
want them to be not passive but<br />
active and practicing members<br />
<strong>of</strong> their faith, Ai the ad sayi<br />
TRY IT - YOU'LL LIKE IT!<br />
Ford's appearance on this<br />
Congressional Game Show<br />
(C'GSi was to try to put to rest<br />
some <strong>of</strong> the "dark suspicions"<br />
arujsed by the Nixon pardon<br />
! Perhaps these suspicions<br />
are totally unfounded and I<br />
sincerely hope they are," said<br />
Hep Kliza-belh HQluman iD-<br />
NY), one <strong>of</strong> the nine panelists<br />
nn Thursday's show<br />
"But," sht_..ientinued,<br />
"nonetheless, we must all<br />
confront the reality <strong>of</strong> these<br />
suspicions that were treated by<br />
circumstances <strong>of</strong> the pardon<br />
which you issued and the<br />
secrecy with svhich it was<br />
Issued, and the reasons for<br />
which it was issued (which)<br />
made people question whether<br />
or not, in fact, there was a<br />
deal."<br />
As is the case with the normal<br />
prime-time, mind-bogelinB quiz,<br />
shows, each panelist was given<br />
a specified period to participate<br />
in the game. In this instance,<br />
the time limit was set at five<br />
minutes per panelist The<br />
object <strong>of</strong> the game was for the<br />
panelists to determine I) if the<br />
President was holding back<br />
from the American people<br />
some deep dark secret about<br />
the Nixon pardon and 2) if he<br />
were being candid i media lingo<br />
for "not telling a fib") in an-<br />
swering the question put to<br />
him. In other words, the<br />
panelists were asking, "Will the<br />
real Jerry Ford please stand<br />
up?" 1<br />
In this round, the Prudent<br />

representing the poor misun- that the answers cannot be found in law but in custom<br />
han merely trying and taste, According to Safire, "the drinking habits<br />
<strong>of</strong> Congressmen used to be taboo, but columnist Drew<br />

this idea has already been used but how about after hours, as in Chairman Mills'<br />
'"However"ou^conscienuous who ls without sin cast the first stone." It seems the<br />
congressmen should have a nearer a public person gets to great power (the<br />
jolly old time converting presidency or vice presidency) the more reporters<br />
