3 14 Bfews NEW BRUNSWICK. N.J., FRIDAY, NOV. 10, I97J ecome law in Franklin Nov. 16 PUD will Route 27 and Easton Avenue are the two developable sections the PUD section of the zoning ordinance regulates most. The areas were zoned for highway development.

Developments along Route 27 milst include 100 acres before the planning board will approve construction. The density factor is eight units per acre. Areas along Easton the planning board, the governmental unit charged with "enforcement and implementation of the ordinance," he said. "I don't think Mr. Lattanzio even read the ordinance," Driver added.

"It's done now, but, as I said during the public hearing, this is only part of the total plan to improve the development of the township." Township water rate up 43? Avenue must include 300 acres before construction. Easton Avenue's density factor is 3.5 units per acre, or a more sprawling development than on Route 37. Driver said Easton Avenue probably will develop first because the area has sewers and water, utilities not installed on Route 27. Land along Easton Avenue is generally in chunks of less than 300 acres. Driver conceded that the ordinance forces landowners to join together for "development.

"But many have already approached us about that," he added, declaring that no developer has submitted plans yet for a PUD. Comments from the audience centered mostly on clarification of what areas will be included in the various business, commercial, industrial and residential zones. The ordinance also creates a new zone called Office Professional-Transitional. John Chadwick, the township's planning consultant, explained these transitional areas will be located between residential and commercial developments along Easton Avenue, between Foxwood Road and Franklin Boulevard. Some residents suggested the council include stronger environmental protection measures.

Driver, Naruta and Messner all said residents suggestions will be turned over to the planning board for consideration. Driver said the new ordinance will become law Nov, 16 after it is published in a newspaper. FRANKLIN The township council approved its new zoning ordinance last night. By a 8-1 vote, the council threw out the old zoning law and passed one that provides for planned unit developments (PUD), the major change in the updated version, according to Mayor Richard Driver. Unified development was the reason for the change, township officials told a public hearing gathering of about 50 persons in the municipal building.

The effect of the PUD can't be bauged since developers haven't submitted plans under the new ordinance, Driver said. The PUD's ratables will have a considerable affect eventually on the township's real estate tax assessment, he added, declaring, "that's not the only reason we passed sed this, but it was considered." Councilman Attilio Lattanzio was the dissenter. He said, "I can't vote yes for this now, so I vote no." Later he explained that some of the provisions in the new ordinance will be changed. Lattanzio said he didn't know in what areas those changes would come. "They didn't want to readvertise the whole thing, so they voted for it," he added.

Councilmen Richard Mess-ner and Alexander Naruta Jr. favored hte ordinance but qualified their votes. Both councilman said they wanted to include some of the proposals brought up at last night's public hearing. Driver said those suggestions will be turned over to we need are mandatory tie-ins. Polluted wells should be made to tie-in." Sursa said the increase in rates will bring in about $500,000 from the projected 4,390 township water customers.

He said the balance of the 8,500 homes in the township use wells. "The average customer pays about $76 per year for water," Sursa added. "The new rates will mean he will pay $108 per year." Councilman Bruce Williams, who also voted against introducing the rate increase ordinance, said the township could charge its customers a little less than Elizabethtown Water Co. charges its customers. "We don't have to pay corporate taxes," he said.

FRANKLIN The township council wants to increase water rates here nearly 43 per cent. The council, by a 7-2 vote, introduced an ordinance last night that, if passed after the Dec. 14 public hearing, will increase water rates from 60 cents to 80 cents per 1,000 gallons. Harold Sursa, township engineer, said the increase became necessary Nov. 1 when the Elizabethtown Water Co.

raised its wholesale rates. He explained the balance of the 42.6 per cent increase results from graduated increases. "Because someone else raised their rates is not the only reason why we should raise ours," Councilman Richard one of the two dissenters said.

The budget was passed after no one appeared at a 9 a.m.

public hearing to question it. The board regularly meets at 9 a.m. Authority Chairman Jack Be-, lowich said the budget represents an increase of about over the 1972 budget. Revenues are provided directly from money collected in the authority's metered parking lots, the largest of which is the 4.5 acre Pearl Street lot. Be-lowich noted the authority has never operated in the red since it was formed.

Not included in the operating budget is $37,880 to be spent during the year to retire debts. With this figure, the entire budget will total $111,353. If revenues continue to come in at the same rate as this year, the authority will have no trouble meeting the new budget. Collections through October of this year have totaled $106,040, $1,695 more than had been collected in the first 10 months of last year. EDISON A citizens' group seeking expansion of the police force is expected to face tough opposition from municipal officials.

The Ad Hoc Committee for Community Safety plans to meet Monday night at the Oak Tree Presbyterian Church to discuss creation of a new police precinct closer to the Stephenville area. "I'd say it's the concerted opinion of all those involved that there is no necessity for it," said John A. Delesandro, the township's business administrator. When asked if those sentiments included the opinion of Police Chief William Fisher, Delesandro replied, "yes." Delesandro declined to say whether he would attend Monday's meeting. Last September Mrs.

Elizabeth Toth was mugged in front of her Stephenville Parkway home. Soon after the incident she and a friend, Mrs. Barbara Boyce of 16 Stephenville Parkway, founded the committee in a bid to arouse concern over what they considered an alarming increase in the north end's crime rate. "People are angry," said Mrs. Boyce, recounting numerous incidents of beatings and thefts.

"Our biggest complaint is the police station is 20 minutes away. That's too far," she said. "If we don't get a second police sta-, tion, we'd at least like to see more police on the force," she added. The committee has been successful in implementing one of its proposals for dealing with crime. A neighborhood petition for additional street lighting brought results, according to Mrs.

Boyce. She said a formal request was made by Mayor Bernard J. Dwyer and beginning Monday, installation of 45 new street lights will begin in the Stephenville area. The bridge over troubled traffic When the new Route 18 bridge over the N.J. Turnpike, above, is completed, motorists will have one traffic bottleneck eliminated.

But until then traffic crawls past the construction site. Additional delays, below, have been caused this week when construction work has forced the closing of one lane in each direction between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Similar delays are also expected on Monday.

Acting on the motion of Middlesex County Prosecutor John S. Kuhlthau, Superior Court Judge Leon Gerofsky yesterday dismissed a gaming complaint against Baker.

He had been arrested Oct. 26, 1968 in a raid at Remsen Avenue shoeshine parlor. Charges against seven others who were booked in the same case were subsequently downgraded, Kuhlthau reported. On March 21, 1969, Baker, then 30 years old, was killed in the same shoeshine parlor. A 44-year-old man was arrested in that case.

Gerofsky also dismissed an Indictment against Daniel Sca-la, 24, of South Broadway, South Amboy, who had been charged with possessing narcotics in Monroe May 19. Kuhlthau advised Gerofsky that Middlesex County Court Judge John B. Molineux had granted the defense a motion to suppress the evidence phenobarbital and that because of that ruling, he could try Scala. An indictment against Louise Williams, 23, of Lovintoure Avenue, Franklin which charged her with possessing stolen goods July 18, 1967, was dismissed because the state, the prosecutor said, had no proof of her involvement beyond the fact that she was a passenger in a car stopped by city police. Found in the car was liquor valued at $21.90.

A similar indictment against another passenger, Thomas Banner, 25. of Remsen Avenue, was dismissed on the same grounds. Acting on Kuhlthau's motion, a breaking and entering with intent to steal indictment against 20-year-old Robert L. Matthews of Plainfield was dismissed. He was arrested at a Middlesex Borough grocery store April 11, 1967.

The prosecutor said Matthews has been a fugitive since April 11, 1968, and there is little chance that he will be located. St. Nicholas dinner MANVTLLE A St. Nicholas Day dinner will be held in St. Mary's Church auditorium Dec.

Garrod said the planning board has a floodplain study committee but it wants to include survey information of streams before recommending an ordinance. The chairman said he has learned that if a resolution is adopted noting the intent to enact a floodplain ordinance, property owners would be eligible for flood insurance. The inability of three members to attend the meeting and two vacancies were the reasons there was not a quorum.

The burglaries took place from the fall of 1971 to last spring. Allen also was indicted on two break-in counts and a charge of assault with intent to rape during the break-ins. Others' indicted and the charges are: Joseh S. Barnette, Plainfield. and James C.

Sourland recreation park moves a few steps closer PISCATAWAY The Sept. 16, 1971, atmospheric condition which felled football players practicing at Quibbletown Junior High School drew more concern nationally than apparently it did here, Mrs. June Ejk observed last night.

Mrs. Ejk, co-chairman of the Coalition for Environmental Protection Alternatives, formed after the 1971 incident, said she learned this when she attended a four-day national conference In Pittsburgh, last month, of the Group Against Smog Pollution (GASP) in Pittsburgh, Pa. last month. She gave a report on the conference to the Environmental Advisory Commission of which she is an associate YMCA introduces Y-adventure Guides METUCHEN The Metuch-en-Edison YMCA is introducing a program, Y-Adventure Guides, for fathers and sons which, extension director John G. Malinowski announces, is a continuation of Y-Indian Guides.

Boys nine through 16 years old are eligible for enrollment. Tribes are being organized for Metuchen, Edison and surrounding area. member. There was no action taken last night because only two other associate members, David Pearson and Ted Rich, attended with Chairman Charles H. Garrod Jr.

Mrs. Ejk said Piscataway received nationwide publicity after the Quibbletown incident, which was discussed during the conference. Thirty-three players suffered rapid heartbeat, breathing difficulty, dizziness and nausea because of heat, humidity and the high air pollution level, school board officials said after the incident. Although there was no serious illness, seven of the players remained two days in Rari-tan Valley Hospital, Green Brook. Mrs.

Ejk also described with enthusiasm the accomplishments of GASP, formed to fight industrial pollution in Pittsburgh. She said there should be more concern over the threat to the environment here. Flooding during the heavy rain ending yesterday morning was another topic. Garrod said property owners cannot get flood insurance until the township enacts a flood control ordinance. Garrod attributed flooding of Bound Brook over New Market Road, which was as bad as during Tropical Storm Doria, to filling in of the floodplain near Prospect Avenue.

"That's why the water backed up," he said, describing how the proprietor of the is purchased because of an anticipated difficulty finding owners of several parcels in the section. To secure the funds the commission has made application to the state for 50 per cent of the total estimated costs, Torpey said. The commission also awarded a contract to Ridge Steel Erectors, Inc. of Bernards to construct a new riding barn and other improvements in Lord Stirling Park at a cost of $92,370. William H.

Cunningham Jr. reported the firm was lowest bidder for the work. A resolution regulating hours at the riding stables in Lord Stirling Park was approved and Hallard E. Staryckt Associates of Raritan was hired to complete drawings and specifications for parking lots and access road to Colonial Park in Franklin. BRIDGEWATER A resolution authorizing purchase of property to develop a recreation center in the Sourland Mountains of Montgomery was approved unanimously last night by the Somerset County Park Commission.

According to Frank J. Tor-pey, the county needs about 79 parcels to complete attaining a 1,800 acre tract in the area. Torpey said the parcels will be acquired by negotiations with owners or through condemnation for an estimated cost of $576,686. Last year the Minnesota Mining Manufacturing Co. donated a sizable tract to the commission for the recreation facility which is to include a slope for skiing.

Joseph Bedell, counsel for the commission, reported it may take another year before all the land.
