A right to know
While no one questions the right and
possibly the need for Cape May County
Prosecutor Donald Charles to probe
local fiscal affairs at city hall, there
has developed a question about the
methods the prosecutor is using in his
investigation.
A month ago Charles "asked" City
Clerk Loretta C. Marshall to provide
his office with virtually all city
financial records, including or-
dinances and resolutions and the
minutes of all commission meetings.
The information requested covers a
period of four years from 1973 to 1976.
Charles' office has had the records
for nearly a month and the prosecutor
has declined to say what he is looking
for or when the records will be
returned to Ocean City. By law he is
apparently under no obligation to do
so.
A request from this newspaper to
view specific records under the
supervision of the Prosecutor's office
has been turned down by Charles, and
r.
we hgve been advised that, legally
Charles can keep the records (or three
years.
Not only has the removal of the
City's financial records caused an
inconvenience to the public and to City
employees who use them, but ,it has
left the City unable to conduct some
very important business.
City Treasurer Robert N. Matthews
pointed out last week that the City has
been unable to obtain some $30,000 in
disaster aid from Hurricane Belle last
summer because records concerning
the funding application are in the
hands of the Prosecutor.
Also the City has been unable to get
reimbursed for welfare payments that
must be made to local needy residents.
No one is sure where Charles' in-
vestigation will lead him. But
whatever it is that he's after should be
made known as soon as possible and
the records returned to city hall so the
routine operation of the municipal
government can continue.
Three island theory
Two Ocean City men, T. John Carey
and Daniel Hughes, have come up with
an interesting theory that supports
earlier claims by the city that bay
dredging to fight beach erosion is
beneficial.
After discovering a map of the South
Jersey coast showing clearly that
Ocean City was once three separate
islands and not always the one long
island that exists today, Hughes and
Carey came up with some interesting
theories.
They decided that an inlet existed in
the vicinity of 16th st. and was
torobably kept open by the-tidal flow
from the Tuckahoe River, which today
etui empties into the bay in that area.
[: Gradually, as Ocean City developed,
the smaller inlets separating the
island as it exists today began to shoal
fiver through natural periodic changes
along the coast. Eventually the two
small inlets at 16th and 28th sts. closed
And were filled for development.
The Tuckahoe River, with its direct
access to the ocean blocked, began
piling up silt and mud in the back bays
creating much of the shallows that
exist today.
Both Hughes and Carey contend that
the nine months of dredging for beach
replenishment purposes, conducted by
the city in the early part of this decade,
was beneficial hi cleaning up the bay
and creating an environment healthier
for marine life.
They hope to use this argument to
convince the State of New Jersey that
dredging should be resumed at the 16th
st. borrow area.
This theory and others like it from
the past could be important factors in
explaining why Ocean City is the way
it is today and possibly what it will be
like in the-future. .••...•
We are all products of our en-
vironment and our future and the
future of Ocean City is inextricably
linked to our past.
successful weekend
f C
f More than 35,000 people jammed the
bWdwalk for the Easter promenade
Sunday putting smiles on even the
iost pessimistic of public relations,
government and business officials.
(Cautiously, Public Relations
Director Mark Soifer said recently
that the size of the crowds in the City
on Palm Sunday and Easter can
often be used as a barometer for
gauging the coming season.
If this be so, Ocean City's barometer
at the Music Pier on Sunday was
peaking well above 30 and there wasn't
a cloud on the horizon that could be
detected.
Easter Sunday is a time for
promenaders to put on their spring
finery. More importantly, it is a time
for the City to put on its finest clothing
and impress the early visitors with the
fact that they are not only welcome but
also with the fact that Ocean City
should be their choice for summer fun.
A writer remembers
Because of this, a rift between City
officials and business people such as
occurred at the Night in Venice
festivities last July could have
seriously marred the City's image well
before the season began.
Needless to say, many of the
irritations that culminated in the boat
parade are still inflaming the sensitive
skins of City and business officials.
To the credit of all, however, dif-
ferences were apparently put aside in
the Easter weekend planning and
residents here can be proud of the
image that greeted the first-of-the-
season visitors on Sunday.
It can only be hoped that the spirit of
cooperation that helped make Sun-
day's festivities a success can be
carried on throughout the summer to
help make the summer of '77 a
hallmark in the annals of Ocean City
history.
WHY THE TOTAL BLACK OUT, MR. CHARLES?
Comment on the contemporary
The greening of an island-
Ocean City style
If ever you wanted to see a
good example of the
desecration of a city's'
character, take'a ride this week
along West av. from 34th st.
south. '
When we first started
working here nearly three
years ago the headlines were
dominated by stories of Hugh
Zimmers attempt to bring
about some order from the
chaos of building and zoning
regulations
It's been nearly two years
since the study was completed
and work on the new ordinances
begun. When the. ordinances
are completed, there may be
nothing left to regulate.
It was well over a year ago
The Sentinel-Ledger featured a
front page picture of the 4900
block of West a v. as an example
of what the density regulations
in the Zimmers Report were
trying to eliminate.
For anyone who hasn't seen
Forum agin' 'em
Editor, Sentinel-Ledger:
Without any detailed in-
formation on the subject, I
earnestly wish the Committee
on the new Sabbath Blue Law
Ordinance would reconsider
their recommendation to
change the present fee
charging by the City for Tennis
and Golf playing on the Sabbath
making participation in both
sports free.
I feel the cost to the city and,
incidentally the taxpayers, to
maintain these recreational
facilities would be softened, as
it is now, by the payment of a
participation fee by the
players. Speaking of free tennis
on City maintained
facilities does not only deprive
the City of needed income, but
could really jam the Tennis
Courts to such an extent it
might be very difficult to obtain
a tennis reservation, more
supervision would undoubtedly
be needed and certainly more
City built courts would be
demanded in the future
I fail to see discrimination, or
unfairness, by the City when
charging a fee for these sports
to help defray costs and hold
down taxes, and an individual
charging a fee for a similar
sport for personal gain • if you
in your wildest imagaination
might call miniature golf and
regular golf, on a course,
similar sport activities.
Our City right now is con-
sidering the Spending of $45,720
additional of our tax money on
tennis, and it's a shame this

Gone forever but worth remembering
Editor's note: ThU un-
•pUeltcd column that follows
probably better descr> • one
person's remembrances of
Ocean City better than
anything we have seen in a long
time. You can almost taste the
Ice cream and smeO the salt
air, which is certainly better

efforts in this space. What
follows are the unedited
roceUectlons of Mrs. Louise R.
Sttcnour of Princeton. VTM.
" Summers at Ocean City in the
nineteen twenties are vivid in
my mind after fifty yean. I'm
there is some kind of
I psychological reason
nte phenomenon, but no
flatter: It ia enough to delight
fa Ite recollection*.
'far children like my brother
and me - even though we Uyed
tot vary far away, in Cer-
• - getting ready to
summer at the
w.aa a time of
preparation and
My motner
toiletries, household articles -•
into great wicker hampers with
wooden lids. A drayman picked
them up and somehow,
miraculously, Brownlee's
Express delivered them to our
house on Wesley Avenue near
14th Street at about the same
time that we arrived.
The trip was an adventure in
itself. There was no Walt
Whitman Bridge. First, we
went down to the Philadelphia
docks for the ferry to Camden.
Even the smell of the ferry
house comes back - a pungent
mixture of oil and horses and
sweat and raw foods from the
wholesale markets on Dock
Street. The short boat ride was
an enchanted voyage. My
father stayed with us at the
boat railing so we could watch
the gray swirling water and the
tankers and tup as they
chugged up and down the river.
In Camden, we boarded a
•team-engine train (the
railroad waa not yet dec-
trifled). The ride couldn't have
taken much more than an hour,
but it seemed like an eternity.
The train windows were open
(there was no air conditioning),
and soot blew into our faces as
we watched for the first signs of
sandy soil. When the conductor
called. "Tuckahoe!" we knew
we would soon be seeing the
ocean, and summer would
begin for real, and maybe
never end.
Wesley Avenue, like many
other Ocean City streets in the
'twenties, was a dirt road.
When it was dry and dusty, the
sprinkler came along to
dampen it down, and when it
rained, the road turned to
yellow mud. Our house was
boarded up for winter, and my
father's first task was to take
down the boards and put up the
screens. Downstairs, the house
was furnished in eminently
practical and sturdy mission,
with grass rugs. Upstairs, there
were rag ruga and bedsteads of
white enameled Iran, we could
see the ocean from the second-
floor porchi when my father
put up, at each end. a settee
hammock made out of canvas
(gliders hadn't been invented).
We could see the ocean even
better from the little screened-
in "widow's walk" on the third
floor.
The telephone man came,
and my mother called in an
order to Powell's Market on
Anbury Avenue, or sent me
over to Mr. Home's grocery at
14th and Asbury Avenue. The
store smelled deliciously of
freshly-ground coffee and
newly-baked bread.
My father commuted to
Philadelphia, taking the 7:40
along with many other summer
fathers. Some staved in the city
all week and came down on
Friday evening, to be greeted
at uth Street Station by little
boys < my brother among them)
hoping to earn a dime or two
hauling suitcase* in their ex-
press wagons.
The days went by at an easy
pace. We spent mornings at the
beach. My mother was. un-
comfortable in the tun, with her
auburn hair and fair skin. She
carried a parasol and wore a
black sateen bathing suit that
she had made herself. It came
to the knee and she wore black
silk stockings and black
bathing shoes. I thought she
looked beautiful.
Sometimes in the afternoons
we would get dressed (my
brother wore a sailor suit and I
wore a gingham dress hand-
smocked by my mother) and go
on the Boardwalk. The Hip-
podrome had huge, scary
sliding boards - one ending in a
great hollow we called "the
soup bowl." There was a
merry-go-round, and there
were penny machines where
you could see a "movie" by
turning a crank. There were no
ferris-wheels or "rides." We
usually ended up in Shrlver's
for icecream that was almost -
but not quite - as good as my
father's.
My father made ice-cream
(usually peach) in the back
yird, for Sunday dinner. It was
(contlnucdonpafleS)
the 4900 block of West av., it's
worth taking your children
there for an object lesson in
what greed can do to a town.
Stacked neatly in a row on the
bay side of West av. from 49th
st. to 30th st are about a dozen
duplexes • all identical and each
about eight feet from the other. -
Apparently it was convenient
for some developer to purchase
one set of plans and stack up a
lot of uniformly cut wood in a
hurry for a quick buck.
The end result is not only a
holocaust waiting to happen (in
the event of fire, firefighters
can't even get machinery
between the buildings to halt a
block-long blaze), it is also a
monument to the "greening of
America's greatest family
resort."
Zimmers proposed a density
limitation that would have
prohibited the building of a
living unit that would cover
more than 30 percent of a
property.
He also proposed regulations
that would have required
buildings within contiguous
blocks to be built with varying
facades to break up the
monotony of uniformity.
The ordinances purportedly
being written from his
recommendations will be too
late, however, for the 5200 block
of West av. along with a lot of
other blocks in town where a
flurry of building is un-
dermining the two-year-old
intent of the Zimmers Report.
Within the last three weeks
three houses almost identical to
the 4900 block group have gone
up in the 5300 block and two
more may be completed by the
time this column appears.
One has to wonder about the
quality of a building that goes
up this quickly, but again the
fire hazard of wood frame
structures in such close
proximity is extraordinary.
Granted this isn't beach and
bay front property, but the
Ocean City Beach and Bay
Preservation Association was
allowed a major role in the
Zimmers' negotiations and we
wonder where that organization
is now when the landscape is
being raped within as well as
without.
Another worry that must
arise with this new building is
where the money is coming
from to support it If it is
predicated on a newer and
larger rental market, what will
happen to the city's tax
structure if that market fails to
appear or if, for economic
reasons, the current market
goes into a slump.
There is no question that the
casino gambling issue has
spurred a lot of speculative
building. What is at question la;
where are the regulatory
mechanisms to protect thja city
from the type of speculation
clearly unwanted by Its
cittern?
Ocean City a la carte
Changing Sunday
law could be
sticky business
Every now and then we hear something really nice
about Ocean City, and feel that it should be passed on
to our readers. This particular comment came from
Mrs. H.R. Weigel, who got it from Rudolph Dechert
of Lebanon, Pa., a summer guest of Mrs. Weigel's
since 1948.
It's a newspaper column written by Charles
Dodson of Lebanon, and it appeared in a newspaper
in that area. In his column Dodson writes about
heaven on earth. To preface his remarks Dodson asks
about heaven. Who will be there? What will it be like?
Who will be with us?
Dodson asks "will the streets be paved with golf?
Will there be ice cream there? Will the women be as
beautiful in heaven as on earth? Will kisses thrill me
as they do here?"
Like most of us Dodson says he has difficulty un-
derstanding things of an abstract nature. "More
pertinent are the earthly questions and answers," he
notes.
Heaven on earth
With that in mind Dodson goes on with his own
thoughts about heaven. "Heaven is like attending
church at the Ocean City, N.J. Tabernacle on a warm
clear Sunday morning in August," Dodson tells us.
"If you've never done it, words couldn't tell the
indescribable joy of being there. If you have been
there, you need no explanation." Having lived here
most of our life and all of our summers, we must
meekly admit the need to seek an explanation.
After pointing out that he has no desire to promote
tourism for Ocean City, Dodson adds, "It is just that
when I think of heaven, a vacation in that resort city
is the closest thing that comes to mind.''
The whole point of Dodson's column, as you may
already have guessed, is his concern that Ocean
City's Sunday blue law will be changed to the point
that it is hardly more than a shade of off white:
"But it isn't easy to retain the laws which keep the
town off limits to the jet set," Dodson ponders. He
isn't quite right about that Many jet setters are
content to do their jetting across the bay, and they
also like Ocean City the way it is.
Dodson shows concern that the recently completed
report by the Sunday Study Commission will water,
down th£ Sunday closing law that it will no longer be
effective in maintaining Ocean City's unique
character one day each week. "The battle is out of
the courts and into the political chambers," he
laments.
- "As I grow older and my blood pressure becomes
lower I find happiness comes easier to me where it is
warm. Could that be a factor in my feelings for Ocean
City?" Dodson adds. (Not if you've ever spent
Springtime here, we don't hesitate to note.)
"Certainly this heaven on earth is costly. To get
there the state of Pennsylvania charges turnpike and
bridge tolls, New Jersey has more expressway and
turnpike fees and now must pay an admission fee to
lie on the beach.
"If Ocean City changes its rules to appease those
who want to amuse and sell on Sundays, it will little
change the course of history. Most of the population
of the world will never know. But as for me, it will be
a loss of great magnitude, a loss of- a little bit of
heaven On earth. Perhaps it will make me more
anxious for the day when 111 see the new heaven,
where God lives. I know the admission fee will be
costly but it has already been said."
Still inconsistent
While we're on the Sunday issue, it might be the
time to point out several things in the proposed
Sunday ordinance (as amended) that was given to
the city commissioners last week by the five mem-
ber SundayvStudy Panel.
After reading the proposed law we have reached
the conclusion that, while, the admended form is
easier to read and less complicated that existing law,
there are still a lot of things that don't make sense.
Primarily, we can't see why it is all right to buy
camera film, flash bulbs, light bulbs, and batteries, if
you can't buy a camera. Or why it's ok to purchase
fishing bait, lures, hooks, lines, leaders and sinkers,
when you can't buy a fishing pole or reel.
And why is it legal to buy a bathing cap, but not a
bathing suit. We didn't know Ocean City planned on
having nude beaches this year. We think it's great
that laundromats will be open on Sunday and that
laundromat users can buy laundry soap to do their
wash, but why can't a person buy a cake of bath soap
on the first day of the week!
Of course there are ways around all of these in-
consistencies, if you don't mind taking a bath in
laundry soap or fishing with ajhand line or wearing a
towel while bathing in the ocean. (Towels can be
purchased on Sunday). Taking pictures can be in-
teresting with film, falshbulbs and batteries, but no
camera.
^Uso we fail to see any reason for limiting the sale
of beach toys to buckets, shovels, rakes, sifters and
floatable toys used in water. Presumably that means
kids can buy rubber duckys to use in the surf, but the
new ordinance also runs the risk of stereo-typing
generation upon generation of juvenile visitor to
America's Greatest Family Resort.
What if a kid wants to use a plastic golf club in the
ocean? It won't float and you can't carry sand in it, so
therefore-it must be illegal. That's not the American
way, and we think the city commissioners should fix
up the proposed ordinance before approving it.

He has to get this story in the next edition;
and he has to have the facts.
