WELCOME ADDITION-Some of the neighbors of the 800 block of Central av.
look admiringly at the new building in their neijpiborhood. Left to right are

Parking lot attendant's
hut causa for celebration
The residents of the BOO block
of Central av. are celebrating
these days and the reason is
that they aren't as forgotten as
they had begun to believe
During the past 50 years
there had been no building in
the block that any of the current
residents cin recall. As one
laid, "it has been all tearing
down like the Atglen Hotel Lthe
Breckley house, the Old. Post
Offict and others. What hasn't
been torn down has been moved
to other areas and all we have
been left with ii i big empty
nothingness,"
That all has been changed
and the neighbors are
celebrating A new building has
been constructed at 804 Central
av It is situated on the back of
the lot so it gives a more pic-
turesque area to its setting and
permits ample parking so as
not to crowd the street.
The new building is described
as maintenance free. It is total
electric, has wall to wall carpeting
and is panelled with
walnut It also has aluminum
siding on the exterior to make
its beauty long lasting
The building was constructed
by Wisham Builders at a cost
said to be over $2,000 and is
owned by the Cape May County
National Bank,
It is really a year-around
shelter for the Cape May
County National Bank parking
lot attendant, Bill Smith, but as
the neighbors say, "Gee, it is
something new here and after
all this time we are grattful for
even this,"
Cicala raps Sturm's
'Sunshine Law' breach
Independent Freeholder
candidate Steven Cicala
charged.' ^'Wednesday that
Freeholder William Sturm is
guilty of fiscal irresponsibility
and disregard of the public
interest in his post as head of
the County finance department.
The County Freeholders at
their meeting last week passed
a resolution to provide temporary
financial help for the
Cape May County Municipal
Utilities Authority. Cicala said
no figure was mentioned at the
meeting, but two days later it
was announced that the County
will back the MUA for tB
million.
Cicala said he wants to know
what the money will be used
for, "There are no finalized
plans and no sights have been
selected for gewer treatment
plants," he said. Cicala argued
that Sturm should havn known
that each municipality to be
hooked up to the regional
system must enter into a service
agreement with the MUA
before any financing or construction
can begin.
"Sturm should have given a
full •explanation," Cicala said,
"It's just another example of
county government operating
behind closed doors,"
Cicala said Sturm is a
hypocrite for advocating a
"sunshine law" for the county
while at th§ same time giving a
blank check to the MUA without
letting the public know all the
facts.
Cicala said he is urging civic
p-oups throughout the county to
force the freeholders to withdraw
the resolution giving the
MUA the $5 million.

^ CAUSES FIRE! 3
You pan do your part
by observing these
simple safety rules. 1
1. A HOT TIP
A cigarette burns at 1325 degrees, so next time you casually toss,
away that "butt," be sure it's out,
2. PINNIES TO HEAVEN
Fuses are for your protection. Under no circumstances should you
ever substitute a p«nny for a fuse,
3. NO SQUEEZING
Do not place electric cords in door |ambs. Squeezing cords like this
will break their protective covering,
4. SURE HOT FOOT
Never run cords under the rug. They become worn quickly and you
are not aware of their dangerous condition.
6, WHOOSH
Be sure your cooking and heating equipment is in flood repair. Fire
is meant to be your servant, not your master.
I, RICHES TO RAGS
Don't leave oily rags In a pile. Keep them in a metal container to
prevent dangerous combustion.
7. HANDY HELP
Keep the fire extinguishers in good working order and place them In
vital spots whire they are Instantly ready for use.
