Schaub reported tnat me imdh reiiei appropriation of $6,000 was not sufficient to carry through December due to the rise in relief clients because of the recession. He asked that the committee appropriate another $3,000 to the budget, as an emergency relief appropriation, a step that J. Schuyler Huff, township attorney, said was available under state law.

The committee unanimously voted to do so. Move to Prohibit Parking At the request of Police Chief Fred Holsten, the committee decided to prepare an ordinance to prohibit parking in the curb area at the Cambridge School in Kendall Park and also at Stanworth Drive, near Route 27, to permit better visibility for drivers entering of $1,190 more than original offers.

Holsten said there were yellow lines painted at the school, restricting parking, but that no one was paying attention to them. This led to a discussion of parking in Kendall Park. Several residents said they favored bans on parking on the road there since each residence had a garage and a driveway.

They felt road-parking was a hazard to children as well as other motorists. Committeeman Lester H. Sohl suggested that the committee ban parking on the road in Kendall Park between Nov. 15 and March 1 as an aid to plowing the streets after snow storms. Schaub told the residents to consider the problem further and to appear at the next meeting, whenome action probably would be taken.

On the financial side, the committee, adjusting accounts between high and low balances, voted to transfer $1,825 from the collection of taxes division and distribute $1,000 to the zoning item, $500 to parks and playgrounds, $225 to insurance and $100 to administrative and executive. Payment of $13,097.91 was authorized to the Creighton Contracting Co. for work on Section 7 of Friendship Road. The committee also applied to the state for reimbursement of 90 per cent of the payment since the project comes under state aid. It also was voted to ask the state Highway Department for $571 for reimbursement for highway lighting in the township.

The township is billed by Public Service for the lights and in turn is repaid by the state, on a yearly basis. Two license transfers were approved. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ziegler were permitted to transfer the Blackhorse Trailer Park permit to the J.

R. T. Village Co. The park is located at Route 1 and Blackhorse Lane. The liquor license of Edward and Sarah Griggs for a tavern in Monmouth Junction was transferred to the wife alone, for the same establishment.

Nicholas Santowasso, Adjustment Board secretary, appeared to ask permission of the committee to change the meeting dates of the board to the second Tuesday of the month to coincide with Planning Board sessions. To Change in January Schaub told him the change could be made by the Adjustment Board on Its own authority. Santowasso, who said this was the only matter discussed at the Adjustment Board meeting last night, declared then that as of January the new meeting date would be in effect.

Rauch raised again the issue of street lights and wanted to know why they had not been ordered Reichler, protesting that the matter had been debated on previous occasions, replied nonetheless that there was not enough money for them. Rauch then wanted to know why he had said previously that they were ordered.

Reichler insisted that they never had been ordered. Rauch presented Reichler a letter on the subject before the start of the meeting and asked him to read it during their flurry. Reichler declined. Schaub cut off the debate by stating that the committee consider more important business. Schaub gave the committee a pat on the back, noting that the audit report on the township was one of the most favorable of any municipality in the area.

"It shows we are running things here in a business-like manner," he declared. Nobody disputed him. The meeting was adjourned to Nov. 13, at 8 p.m., in the Dayton School. tember will be held April 14, the Board of Education announced today.
