To the Editor: Your story “Tourism brochure left on the shelf” (March10) should be corrected and also deserves comment. First the corrections: (a.) The product that was proposed to the township council was an 8-page tabloid-sized newspaper and not a brochure as your headline and story called it; and (b.) the story reported that the proposal the council refused to fund “was to cost $12,500 to print.” That is not so. Rather, the council was asked to approve $12,340 for a product that was vaguely sketched in a four-page proposal for the product. The proposal did not include a cost to print the newspaper. Now the comment: Though the idea may be a good one, the proposal for a tourism newspaper that was submitted to the council by Paul Bailey was full of holes and consequently the project would have been a bad use of public funds. Indeed in refusing to pay the bill council members Robert Nolan, James Warden and Philip Weisbecker were meeting their fiduciary responsibilities to the people who elected them. The three council members should be congratulated, not criticized by Bailey who did a shabby job on the proposal that he submitted to them. Martin O’Shea West Milford
