TWO COLOR- THS PAGE Serving South Jersey For 100 Years Sports Final Thursday, April 15, 1976 1 .03 a week home delivered 20 cents niMic to well pay service costs Market advances slightly land on oyce By MARY C. LOVTTZ and PAUL SCHWEIZER Courier-Post Staff if Camden County residents will pick up the estimated $500,000 tab for a sewer line that will service Gloucester Township property developed by James Joyce, chairman of the Camden County Democratic party. The cost of the sewer line will be borne by the entire county rather than solely by Gloucester Township residents under an agreement authorized by the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority. That agreement was made at a time when Joyce was deputy chairman of the authority. He was absent from the portion of a meeting at which the agreement was approved.

Joyce contends the line normally would have been put in by the township with or without the county's money but a Gloucester Township official claims that without the special agreement the price tag would have been paid by the developers with whose firm Joyce is connected. Joyce also claims the line had been on the county's planning boards for years, but county correspondence shows the line was revised last June to extend to Joyce's property. The route of the sewer line was determined initially on the township level by James Colangelo when Colangelo was engineer for the Gloucester Township Municipal Utilities Authority. Colangelo now is engineer for the county authority and is listed as engineer for the tract developed on the land in question. In addition, neither the state nor federal regulatory agencies have given approval to the county's proposed alignment for interceptor lines, the main collector lines in the sewerage system.

Installation of the interceptor now has been termed premature by Dr. Marwin Sadat of the state Department of Environmental Protection. However, he added, "The state has no control over what they can do with their own money." The agreement between the county and local authority calls for total reimbursement from the county, without benefit of federal funds. By installing the lines now, the construction cost is less, but the county loses its chance for 75 per cent federal funding, said GusPalmitessa, engineer for the county authority. The land serviced by the sewer line 1 i (.

They are the only communities in the county that have agreed voluntarily to join the regional sewerage system and they both are getting something in return, a bonus that is already raising eyebrows in the rest of Camden County. Camden City is expected million from the regional authority. The Gloucester Township Municipal Utilities Authority, which handles sewage in the township, will receive $500,000. All other municipalities in the county have refused so far to join the authority, and the regional agency has hauled most of them into court trying to compel them to sign up. But for the Gloucester Township agency and Camden City, no such arm-twisting was necessary.

The township authority is now constructing a major new sewer line, which is costing $500,000. The CCMUA, in a contract signed last October, pledged to reimburse the local authority for all design and construction costs. The sewer line will eventually be Continued on Page 4 Col. 4.

Court personnel were visibly startled by the size of the award, one of the largest resulting from negligence cases in Camden County. The plaintiff in the case, 38-year-old Clorinda Foglio, had no comment on the verdict as she left the courtroom with her lawyer, Nathan A.

Friedman. The jury deliberated less than two hours before notifying Camden County Court Judge A. Donald Bigley that it had a verdict in the case. The jury returned answers to four questions included by Judge Bigley in his charge. They found that Frank DeCiccio, owner of Slim's Ranch in Chews Landing, Gloucester Township, where the accident occurred, was negligent by improperly housing the horse that bit Mrs.

Foglio. They then returned a verdict that Mrs. Foglio had not been guilty of contributory negligence in the accident. r- A WARM spring day finds Kathy Califano and Mcrce Kaplan of Cherry Hill working on their tans in Cooper River Park, Pennsauken. v.
