Willingboro Measure Carries $500 Fine 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.

in the municipal building on Salem Road. The ordinance, similar to laws enacted in Camden and Maple Shade, would hold parents responsible for the destructive acts of their children. Councilman Henry W. Merger said a parent, would be considered in violation of the "town meeting" in February to elicit public opinion on parental responsibility legislation. Most persons at the meetng favored a proposed ordinance but thought it too harsh, particularly a provision that could have subjected convicted parents to jail terms.

No Jail Term The Jail term has been eliminated from the ordinance, but parents who violate the law face a maximum $500 fine. The ordinance provides that the parent whose child is convicted on a first offense would be given a warning. ordinance ifhis child was convicted on a charge of "violating the public peace" and then was convicted of a similar charge within 180 days of the first conviction. Peace Violation "Violating the public peace" is defined as defacing, damaging or destroying public or private property in the township; committing an assault or battery upon another person in the township; or consuming andor possessing alcoholic beverages in a public place in the township, Township council held a Man Threatens Suit Against Tardy Firemen Police Chief Charles MONROE Telling council In other business, township Manager John T. McHugh said the township will attempt to retrieve about $15,000 in taxes paid by the township in 1971 and 1972.

Recent Decision McHugh explained that the state Supreme Court recently decided Willingboro had paid more than its fair share of taxes in 1970 and awarded the township about $195,000. The township is now trying to get a similar favorable decision for 1971 and 1972, according to McHugh. McHugh said Mount Laurel is appealing the decision on the 1970 tax case because the decision means Mount Laurel would have to pay a larger share of 1970 county taxes than it originally paid. Similarly, Willingboro will fight Cinnaminson's appeal that it is paying to big a share of county taxes in 1973, McHugh said. The township manager said he didn't know how much money Willingboro would have to pay if Cinnaminson's appeal was successful.

The residents, led by spokesman Hillman Moses, had presented council with a petition condemning the construction of a silk-screen plant and an asphalt factory on land zoned for an industrial park near their homes. They said they had never been told of the zoning change nor of the sale of land to the various companies and asked council to put a stop order on the work until they could talk with the industrial landowners. Council told them that since the land was zoned for the purpose for which it was being used, there was nothing the governing body could legally do.

Solicitor William Pearson said last night he thought the elimination of the suit was only a formality now that the certification was signed.

Council voted last night to hand-deliver the signed civil service certification of Ptl. Robert Armstrong to Civil Service offices in Camden to block an impending suit against the township by Civil Service. In anticipation of that legal action, Civil Service had disapproved the township payroll set for disbursement tomorrow.
