A Senate Bill, introduced by Sen
ator Thomas L. Johnson and CO.
sponsored by Senator Behen, ap-
propriating $35,0O0O0 for Lewes
Beach hes finally been enacted into
law. The t5ilI passed the Senate
unanimously many months ago but
has been kept in deep-freeze in the
House all this time. This is only
an emergency appropriation and is
by no means the complete answer
to the erosion problem of the beach.
The uncalled for delay and the un-
ssary political manuevers
needed to pass his important ap-
preparation has irritated and an
noyed and shaken the confidence
Of the Lewes Beach residents in
this Season of the Legislature. This
money will be used to safeguard
that portion of the beach which
was suffered most from the recent
storms.
