To 1 ape Council Meetings ir-n -f Planning Board Votes Approval Of Club's Plans 3. iyy- SAVKEVILLE The Borough Council last night voted to buy a tape recorder for use at future meetings. The machine, said outgoing Mayor Anthony J.

Popowski, will serve as an aid to Miss Mary Guilfoyle, borough clerk. It will also be handy for refreshing the memories of persons who forget what they or the council had to say during public sessions. Accurate Record The mayor said he has found some borough residents have garbled" versions of what transpired at meetings. The tape recorder will keep the record clear. In the roll call vote on the resolution, Councilman Joseph Ziemba voted against the purchase and use of the device and Councilman Edward Fielek passed his vote.

Fielek throughout the evening seemed to be under the impression the borough was going to rent a recorder. When it was made clear the borough was to buy one, he asked that several prices be gotten before a machine was bought. MADISON TOWNSHIP The In other action, the board requested further information on a proposed 212-unit trailer park on Route 516 opposite Sayre Woods South before recommending its approval to the Township 1 ir M'V Green Dolphin Swim Club won approval of a minor subdivision by the Planning Board last nigh to permit erection of its club in Route 516 opposite the Browntown Shopping Center.

John Mullane, attorney for the a The resolution proposes the recorder be purchased from Gabowitz Radio Co. of 204 Neilson New Brunswick, for approximately $250 including a microphone and earphones.

Fielek indicated the price might not be excessive, but additional taxpayer's money might be saved if several -quotes were sought. Borough Attorney Joseph T. Karcher pointed out that the microphone was a piece of professional equipment, not the standard tape recorder microphone, and that in general the price was reasonable. Cites Solicitude "Your solicitude for economy," he remarked to Fielek, "is remarkable." In connection with tape recording, the board received a letter from Walter Kross of Morgan requesting a copy of the tape of an exchange between Karcher and himself. Kross was promised a copy but was less than successful in securing it.

He said he heard the tape in Karcher's office, but the lawyer refused to give it to him since he could not act without approval from the council. For the same reason, Kross couldn't get a copy from the borough clerk. So he submitted his request in writing. The council was just about to "receive and file" his request when Ziemba and Fielek came to his support. "I think the man should be given an answer," said Fielek.

"I don't think it should be received and filed and forgotten." Ziemba traced the brief history of Kross' request for a copy of the tape and said he had no objection to Kross getting a copy of the tape. Received Opinion Karcher had mailed a legal opinion on the issue to the council members. Fielek said he hadn't received the opinion. "This isn't a legal thing," Ziemba told Karcher, "it's a matter of policy." It was finally resolved to send Kross a copy of Karcher's legal opinion of the issue with the provision Kross could make shin Committee followine a series developers, to present a ueiaueu of lengthy and controversial hear-1 breakdown of ratables ihe town-ings last spring, had originally ship could expect from the project intended to locate on a property and a detailed plat showing the off Cindy Street in Sayre Woods! exact lot sizes of each trailer site South. land dimensions oi access loaus Council to Name New Tax Assessor MILLTOVVN'-Councilman James; pp, Wir-ken? will be named tax as-1 4 Difficulties in acquiring this site and parking facilities.

DiLeo agreed with Markley's position. Vice Chairman Elmer East on replied: "The authority mechanism is a darn cumbersome mechanism and the only real reason for its existence is to get around the debt limit." "If it is not used for that." he said, "there is no need for it, and I would recommend disbandment." Would Study Request Markley said the state had told him that it would consider an application from the township to borrow the $4 million in general obligation bonds. The town's borrowing' limit without state approval, he said, is about $2 million. DiLeo urged that the schedule calling for bids on the sewer project be pushed up to avoid an increase in contracting costs, even at the sacrifice of a $250-000 federad grant if necessary. The grant is now under review by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

DiLeo said that pursuit of the current schedule would not allow bids until mid-spring, at about the same time East Brunswick Township would be calling for bids on its sewer project. This might push up bid prices by an amount higher than $250,000, he said. Cause Delay Authority counsel John Keefe replied that other factors would also delay action, even if the federal C.

"I feel we've been Waldron said. Markley said the meeting had been arranged by himself to learn if the state would accept an application to borrow $4 million in general obligation bonds for.

the township's forthcoming sewerage project. He argued that the authority had not been bypassed in that he was seeking information on general financing procedures in response to a request and that the fact that jie money was needed for sewers ips 0IU i As a result of Mantley's report, the authority voted to ask the township, auditing firm of Rosenthal grant were sacrificed. These factors included, he said, the processing of the bond application by the stata A'tinger to prepare a study of the fiancing procedure and submit it to the authority before Jan. 10. the date of a joint meeting with the Township Committee.

General obligation bonds are bonds to be repaid by general taxation. The authority had previously considered a plan under which the borrowing would be repaid partly by taxation and partly by service charges on the sewer system. and the obtaining of easements. The authority approved revised rules for the installation and use of municipal sewer lines. Waldron said the compilation, contained in a 23-page book, represented changes in order and detail but not in content.
