The application was filed
with John G. Hart, zoning of-
ficer of the township.
When questioned by the
Bulletin about what action he
would take, Hart declined
comment and pointed out that
he is permitted 10 days to
make a decision.
Decision to seek the permit
was made by the Authority
last week following an open
meeting at which a number
of problems connected with
the proposed well drilling
were discussed.
Although 28 people living
in the area have objected by
petition to the drilling, none
responded to personal invita-
tions to attend the meeting.
The petitioners say that
the proposed drilling is a vio-
lation of the zoning laws and
they fear noise, television in-
terference, etc.
