A SAND DUNE PARK

Senator Mathis says be hopes to
ultimately obtain an appropriation
from the State to purchase enough
of the beach front in Ocean county
to establish sand dune park. or,
in other words, a park that will
carry down to future generations
what the natural beaches of New
Jersey are like. 1t is estimated that
the cost of this will be about $780,
600 for the same land that ten
years ago could have been bought
for 100000.
Ocean county is about the only
place along the beach where such
a park could be established as
virtually all of the beaches in the
other counties are either built up
or nearly SO, The stretch of beach
front south of Seaside park to
Barnegat Inlet is looked on as
filling the requirements. 1t has the
Barnegat Bay on one side as well
as an ocean front and there is a
fine collection of sand dunes.

dents we're traceable to
farm-owned cars.
Under compulsory auto
mobile liability insurance in
a state like Nebraska, a
farmer would have to pay 40
percent of the accident and
damage bill, although liable
for only a little over one per
cent of the actual damage.
Under compulsory law in
Nebraska, it is estimated car
owners would be forced to
pay annually $5,686,368, of
which sum the farmers would
pay $2,240,OOO per year to
insure solvency on their part
for a l.3 per cent response
bility for accidents.
The benefits to be derived
from this type of compulsory
insurance are questionable
when compared with en-
couragement of increased
litigation and possible reck-
lessness.
