To the Editor:

I received together with all Beach Haven voters a letter from our mayor requesting we approve an additional real estate tax for future purchases of land for new parks. The mayor wrote of purchases made by other municipalities on the Island of vacant land for park use to support her suggestion that we in Beach Haven follow suit.

While other municipalities may see the need for more parks, Beach Haven has more park area than all other Island communities on a per-resident basis.
