To the Editor:

In spite of the overwhelming disapproval of the residents of Brant Beach, Joe Mancini, mayor of Long Beach Township, has dismantled the tennis courts at 68th Street and made them into a parking lot.

Purportedly the parking lot is to be used for day-trippers to the Island. In the initial town meeting on the subject, the mayor stated the plan was to add parking for the township, including the municipal court, and others having business with the town.
