Beaches

I see in the newspaper that a good citizen is willing to buy
the Coast Guard Beach and donate it back to the borough if they
will name it for a deceased relative. Sounds like a hell of a
deal to me! So what if the person wants 200 feet out of 1200
feet for a home. The beach needs someone there to watch out
for it and keep things from getting out of hand.
I mean if the borough can save
1.5 million, what is the problem? It will be off the tax roles
anyway, at least they would get some taxes for a half million
dollar home. Just like O'Dowds or the Billiken Bowl, Coast Guard
Beach will eventually fade from memory except for us old timers.
