In Jobstown Buffs Fight For Trolley to SPRINGFIELD TWP. -Trolley car buffs last night indicated they will appeal an ordinance banning storage and operation of the antiques at a Jobstown trolley muse urn in this township. A previous court decisionis already under appeal in Superior Court, according to Joseph Alfongi, general manager of Trolley Valhalla Inc. He said the trolley club was found guilty last month In municipal court -of violating the zoning ordinance. The club moved 14 trolleys to rural Jobstown last September from Tansboro in Camden County. Located on a four and a half acre tract, the trolleys run a short stretch of former railroad track running through the property. Township committee last night, without comment, adopted an ordinance banning the operation. However, township solicitor Robert Oricuolo said that no zoning permit has ever been applied for nor issued for Valhalla. "Under our zoning ordinance, the trolley museum is not a permitted use," Oris-ouolo eald, Proponents of the trolley collection, dating back to 1910, argued that the ordinance never explicitly excluded such a venure until last night, "We'll fight this thing to the highest court," said the previous owner of the property," John J. Coulter, a 50-year area resident. "There are 2,500 people in this community. Only three spoke against this thing tonight. I don't think that's a fair indication of public sentiment." One of the protesters, James Ellis of the Jobstown-Juliustown Road, called the museum "a junkyard." Ellis is collecting signatures on a petition asking that the operation be closed. "Look at the eyesores across the street from the trolley cars. There must be at least 10 junked cars on the lawn," Coulter countered. Alfonsi, who is a project engineer for SEPTA, said that at present the club has no plans to extend their route to a 12 mile track leading to Wrightstown.
