This met with objection by John Toolan, attorney for the applicant, who said they were irrelevant.

O'Neil countered that the purpose of the introduction was to show that the testimony of the applicant's witnesses was irrelevant. Joseph A. Buck board chairman, allowed the admission. The same situation prevailed when a 12-acre tract in the northeast million dollar apartment project, got under way at 8 p.m. yesterday section of the borough.

In taking the action, the council, before the Zoning Board of Adjust ment in the Oak Tree School indicated it would approve the change of six street names within the tract, recommended by the Smallest Audience remarked he was "astonished" that Absig has presented to the board It was attended by the smallest public audience since the hearings O'Neil introduced similar docu- mayor's committee on house numbers and street names.

In a caucus preceed-ing the meeting, Mayor Joseph L. Costa indicated that action would not be possible before Oct. 1.

But he set the first week in September as a target date for interviewing appraisers. Bids Received Councilman Edwin M. Oswald said in the caucus that bids for appraisal work had already been received. He said that 10 firms had either made a bid or had requested the borough's specifications. Four of them, he added, had based bids on work to be done during the present tax year.

In action taken at last night's1 meeting, these 10 plus others who: have expressed interest in the ap-j praisal work will be notified of the borough's speecfications and ad-j vised to submit bids. A committee1 4. Construction of distribution lines to serve the Laurel Park section and new lines to serve the Sayreville and Parlin sections at a total cost of $31,800. 5. Removal of an existing 100,000 gallon tank on Pulaski Avenue to be replaced by a 1.5 million gallon tank at a cost of about $275,000.

6. Legal and engineering fees plus contingent, $152,821, for a total estimated cost of $1,171,632. Second Stage of Program The second stage of the program would include increasing the capacity of the water supply by a million gallons daily; construction of 32,600 feet of additional transmission lines (from the source to storage facilities) and an additional 10,200 feet of distribution lines to serve the President Park and Melrose sections; construction of a million-gallon tank in Raritan Street; plus fees for a total estimated cost of $982,960. Kupper said, "It is proposed that the Stage II construction program be initiated within the next decade. During the 1960s all the present outstanding water bonds will have matured, providing additional surplus to support the program.

"Also, during the interval between the proposed programs, the actual operation of the new water supply and treatment works can be studied to justify the financing of the second stage program." In the past, Kupper said, capital improvements in the water system have been financed by sale of municipal water revenue 'bonds and he declared, "The present revenue structure would carry the propose construction costs with self-liquidating municipal water revenue bonds." The present population of the borough is estimated, he said, at 21,000 and may reach 37,000 by 1960. Improvements to the water distribution system "have lagged behind the demand for improved facilities," Kupper told the council. He noted: Water mains are undersized in several critical locations; water storage facilities are "insufficient for present needs;" and there are many "incomplete (dead-end) loops" in the system. The well field and treatment works proposed for the Bissett tract "will not supply the ultimate needs of the borough," according to Kupper. A supplementary supply "could be most economically developed," "he said, "in the vicinity of Tennent Brook after construction of a tidal dam across the South River." Noting a water shortage in Laurel Park, council last night declared an "emergency" exists and instructed its water committee to have an old 16-inch line in Cheesequake Road connected with lines in the section.

SAYREVILLE The Borough Council last night mapped plans for a million-dollar program to put this municipality in the water business. The governing body received a 121-page report from its consulting engineer, Charles J. Kupper, outlining a recommended two-stage long range program. The first stage, Kupper said, should be undertaken immediately to provide the borough with its own water supply at an estimated cost of $1,171,632. Second Stage in Decade The second stage should be undertaken, he said, within the next decade to exoand the system to meet the needs of the borough's sharply increasing population.

The estimated cost: Another $382,960. The council set July 16 for introduction of an ordinance authorizing issuance of bonds to finance the first stage of the project. One bond ordinance providing for issuance of $380,000 in bonds was adopted June 19, 1957. Establishment of a local water supply was required as the city of Perth Amboy has said it will no longer be able to furnish the borough water after the current contract between the two municipalities expires next year. The city's supply at Runyon now provides about P5 per cent of the local water needs which average 1.5 million gallons daily.

The city supply has served the borough since 1920. Development of Sayreville's own supply, Kupper said, "is a matter of self-preservation." Officials realized, he said, "that the borough's water system, already possessing assets of over one million dollars, would require substantial expansion if it were to keep up with Sayreville's increasing requirements." Kupper's detailed study of the local water problem and preparation of recommendations to solve it were authorized by the council in a resolution adopted June 5, 1957. The councilmen last night informally approved Kupper's recommendations for the first phase of the over-all program. It includes: 1. Construction of wells and treatment facilities on the Bissett tract off Jernee Mill Road to supply about two million gallons daily at a cost of about $400,000.

Work on this project has already been started. 2. Installation of 12,600 feet of 18-inch lines to carry water from the new wells to the Borden-town Avenue standpipe and to existing linos in Jernee Mill Road. The estimated cost is $229,200. 3.

Purchase of 34,000 feet of 16-inch lines from Perth Amboy at a cost of about $82,811. The lines lie in Jernee Mill Road and from the standpipe to the Melrose section. hir nai attorney rested the Case "shed residential character of the they have the same names as for the objecting property owners area streets in Edison Township, accord- ented counseL ing to the committee.

EDISON "This is only the beginning' R. Joseph Ferenczi, Zoning Board of Adjustment attorney, said at the close of the Absig Corp.

hearings early today. The board, he said, cannot act until it receives an advisory report from the Planning Board. This procedure is set up in the new zoning ordinance adopted by the former Board of Commissioners last December. When will the zoning board receive the plan board advisory report recommendation? Ferenczi disclosed there is no time limit in the ordinance or state statute when the plan board must submit its report. "We assume it will be in reasonable time," the attorney said.

Ferenczi said the zoning board's decision, as in its other cases, is automatically deferred until the property in question is inspected by the members. He said the board accepts the invitation of John Toolan, attorney for the corporation, to visit some of the apartment projects in Union, Essex and Morris counties. The firm's witnesses testified on these projects. The proceedings have been recorded by a court reporter, the expense being shared by the applicant and objectors. Three copies of the testimony will be provided.

One each to the applicant, objecting attorneys and the zoning board. There will be about 700 pages of testimony and arguments.

Not the Lowest, but The company's price was not the lowest figure submitted but according to Township Engineer Robert Baier, the proposal submitted was the one which best met the specifications of the Township Committee's bid advertisement. Thomas Miller of Old Bridge questioned the purchase at nearly $3,000 more than the low bidder's price, but was informed the low bid did not provide a heavy enough machine for township needs. All bids on a road roller, taken last week, were rejected on the recommendation of Baier who said there were too many discrepancies in the bids. Readvertising was authorized with bids to be received July 21.

By title only, anordinance establishing and controlling the operation of a landfill dump in the township was read and adopted. A public hearing is set for July 21. A request by the Cheesequake Fire Co. for a street light in front of the firehouse on Route 34 was approved for immediate installation at a cost of $37.50 of which $29 will be reimbursed by the state. Committeeman John Phillips said the light was included in a state survey of the road but that by the time the state gets one installed it could be months away.

A drainage problem on Edgar Road in Madison Acres, where a ditch between two homes is reportedly slowly widening itself through erosion, was explained by Baier. He said he had inspected and found no great problem. Chamberlain however was sympathetic to the concern of residents who have asked for some relief. Baier said that heavy rainfall this year may have added to the load the ditch has been carrying but other than that there is no additional construction in the area which may have caused an overload. The committee decided informally to look for possible ways to help the situation.

The mayor hastened to tell Miller that he (Miller) had brought the subject up before and that he wanted to set him straight on Farless Avenue. He said that a contractor had supplied material which the township laid and which later proved unsatisfactory. The company then ripped up the job and replaced it with better material at the township's insistence. Chamberlain said. He demanded then that Miller not bring the subject up again, to which Miller retorted, "I'll bring it up any time I want to." Elaborating on his statement that the township should get out of the road business because private contractors could do it better, Miller drew from the mayor the reply, "I disagree with you, we can do a good job and we can do it cheaper."
