The Philadelphia Inquirer J7-B Wednesday, March 28, 1990 Crowd demands a delay in Hainesport budget vote tional 200,000 gallons of sewage-treatment capacity a day at the city's treatment plant. The agreement also would allow the township to reroute sewer lines through city by purchasing easements to public and private property. City officials estimated that it would take several months before the proposal could be amended and approved by both bodies. Burlington Township. The Township Council unanimously ratified a $9.7 million 1990 budget, which reflects about a 6 percent increase in the local-purpose property tax rate.

The local-purpose rate will rise from 63 cents per $100 in assessed valuation to 67 cents. The owner of a home assessed at $70,000 will pay $469, about $28 more than under the old levy. The council introduced the budget Feb. 13 but could not ratify it until after the state approved the $3.4 million in aid that the council had anticipated. The township received all of the funds expected, said township administrator Kevin McLernon.

ties, which were not built. An increase in uncollected taxes and higher insurance rates also contributed to the tax increase, Brooks said. In other business, the committee voted to hire Burlington lawyer Dennis Germano to draw up what Bozarth called "very serious charges" against an unnamed member of the Police Department at the request of Chief Edgar Mason. The committee also voted to increase the speed limit on the Mount Holly bypass from 40 to 50 m.p.h. By Joseph DiSlefano In municipal business elsewhere last night Burlington City.

A developer proposed to the City Council a shopping center for a city-owned section of the waterfront. The project would include 20 to 30 boutique-type stores, said Robert Heu er, a principal of Sullivan Associates a Philadelphia-based architecture and planning firm. Heuser and another principal of the firm met with the council in a closed session to discuss the proposal. The area in question is between Pearl Street and Riverfront Park and High and Stacy Streets. It has been vacant since a number of buildings were razed in the early 1970s as part of the city's urban renewal program.

It now serves as as a makeshift parking lot. The council's reaction was generally favorable, according to Council-woman Helen Hatala. "I think it has merit," she said. "I think it would attract people to the city." The plans are consistent with the city's master plan for the area, said city engineer Jeffrey Taylor. A five-year option on the land that was held by another developer expired last year, said Mayor Herman T.

Costello. Construction on the project could begin in about a year if it receives necessary approval from the council, the city Planning Board and local and state agencies, Hatala said. In other business, the council discussed a proposed new agreement with Burlington Township that would give the township an addi In other business, four former fire chiefs and the current township fire chief presented the council with a petition from 425 residents requesting that the township create one or more fire districts. If fire districts are created, commissioners would be elected by township residents and the financial responsibility for the township's three volunteer fire companies would shift from the council to the commissioners. The commissioners would have the power levy taxes through voter referendums.

A resolution outlining the districts will be proposed next month. Fire commissioners could be elected in July and the redistricting would take effect at the beginning of next year, said Council President Stephen George. Glassboro. Mayor Donald Barger announced that he was imposing a freeze on hiring for 1990 and 1991 and on capital improvements for 1991 and 1992 so that the 1990 budget would not have to be increased beyond the $8.9 million proposed by the An angry crowd of more than 175 Hainesport residents forced postponement of a Township Committee vote on a 1990 budget that calls for a 144 percent increase in the local property tax rate. Residents shouted down Mayor William Boettcher and Finance Committee Chairman Conly Brooks with cries of "Stop the meeting!" After several attempts to continue, the committee agreed to postpone the hearing until 8 p.m.

April 10 in the Hainesport school auditorium. SAfter the postponement, Brooks called for a binding township referendum on the budget Solicitor Bennett Bozarth agreed to investigate this possibility. The proposed $2.14 million budget calls for an increase in the tax rate from 29 cents to 71 cents per $100 in assessed property value. The 1989 budget was $1.74 million. Brooks said that the committee had exhausted its $358,000 budget surplus by not raising taxes adequately last year when it anticipated construction of new taxable proper Borough Council.

The $8.9 million budget calls for $476 million to be raised by municipal taxes. The total budget represents more than a 20 percent increase over the 1989 budget of $7.17 million, of which $2.78 million was raised by local taxes, according to officials. Although the tax rate is dropping from the 1989 rate of $1.35 per $100 in assessed property value to 82 cents, a revaluation has increased the assessed value of many properties in the borough, according to auditor Nick Petroni. Many homeowners will be paying higher taxes as a result. Barger said that in 1989, homes were assessed at 65 percent of the their value, with an average assessment of $50,000.

This year, homes are assessed at 100 percent of value, with an average assessment of about $94,000. Owners of property assessed at those average figures will see their taxes increase from $675.50 to $770.80, Petroni said. The major reasons for the budget increase are rising insurance costs and trash-disposal fees, Barger said. South Jersey deaths Survivors: three sons, Lloyd "Bud" Lee of Stratford, Thurston H.
