Valuable center
jeopardized by politics
...... r:Franklin as it used to be
This year’s new township council members had
, barely warmed up their seats when they found out
’last month they were supposed to come up with
’$77,000 so the Franklin Housing Authority could
’ build a community center on Fuller Street.
" ’ The council agreed to do so by floating a bond,
the interest being paid out of rents collected from
the Hamilton Park Youth Development Council;
: which will rent the building from the housing
¯ authority, This way, the township Will not be using
any of its own funds, although the town would hays
: an obligation to pick up the bond payments should
: the Hamilton Park group move out of the building..
Last week it appeared .that some teclin~calities

Leon Cohen and his attorney, Dennis Auciello,
want to know what the council will do if they cannot
bond: ’ .
If the authority really eared about providing a
:’c0mmunity center instead of trying to embarass the
present Republican administration, they could have
reminded the council by letter in January of the
¯ commitment made by the council several yearsago.
Bonding possibilities could have been explored at
that time, and the vote could have been left to the.
new council.
Instead, they arrived at the council’s doorstep
"just one week before their deadline, and in the
process have jeopardized federal funding for the
project.
The saddest part of the whole affair is that the
money raised by the Hamilton Park council
