It indicated after a lengthy debate that it would be the. final move for the siren. Repeated protests voiced by Mrs. Mary Luker, who lives directly across from the siren, instigated the move. She said it was detrimental to her health.

She told council, "If you want to save a now's the time." C. M. Elwell, representative of the boro in the Dover Townslnp-South Toms River civil defense council, said the council would bear the cost of the moving. Council will notify him and the defense group of its decision. The new siren site is isolated from dwellings, and council said that it would not move the siren again if protests were made.

Reminder on Lease George A. Inman and E. B. Paust, sales representatives of Esso Standard Oil, reminded council that the gas firm's lease with the boro for its station property on Route 4 was up for renewal in January. They said that a recent road survey disclosed that lu.zuu cars used Route 4 past the service station now and 7,200 were clocked daily on the new Toms River by-pass, indicating a potential list of 7,000 customers.

They said the lease should be redrawn on the merit system, a gallonage percentage basis, rather than the current flat $3,000 charged annually. An ordinance designed to discourage trailers and trailer parks here was introduced last night. A monthly tax of $10 a trailer, payable six months in advance, was provided. An ordinance to regulate parking in the boro, up for passage, was adjourned until the September session.

a Trenton parachute manufacturer who lives in nearby Jackson Township and who owns prop erty in this township. The board proposes to build the structure on'a 15-acre plot owned by the township and scheduled to be turned over to the board. The tract is on the west side of Manchester BoulevaTd, between here and Route 40, and a quarter-mile from the present two-room, frame school. If aproved. all the township's borrowing capacity of $33,081.51 will be used.

Financing Discussed In January, the board voted to attend the township committee meeting that month to discuss financing and other details of the proposed school. Since then, meetings with state officials have been held, the election being the climax of a campaign here for years to replace the old school. With an oil stove in each room, the old school has 70 pupils from the kindergarten thru the sixth grade. Seventh and eighth grade pupils were crowded out here and, with high school students, attend Lakewood schools on a tuition basis. It is planned that the seventh and eighth grade pupils will return here if the new school is built.

The number of classrooms to be built depends on the amount of the low bids, provided of course that the bond issue is approved.

Likes His Secluded Location TOMS RIVER Probably the favorite stopping-off place for a cold bottle of pop these warm sum mer days for travelers along Hooper Avenue, between here and Laur-elton, is the business enterprise of Fiornzo Borga, one-legged for mer miner, former newspaper dealer, and onetime candidate for Ocean County Board of Freeholders. The Borga stand, hardly large enough for the owner, a soda cooler and "smokes," almost hides a i) equally small frame shack in which this Austrian-born Italian, a citizen of this country for many years, makes his summer residence. The buildings are in a veri table wilderness of pine trees and berry patches, but Mr.

Borga manages to do a brisk business in soda pop, cigarets, and candy and he likes the seclusion. Why Mr. Borga, in his 70th year, chooses to sit the waning years of a full and colorful life on a lonely stretch of back road is explained simply. He says: "I always liked to start some thing where no one else thinks of doing it." He's un contested in this remark. Born in Austria He was born in Tirol, Austria, (now Italy under a peace pact of World War 1.) on July 4, 1883.

His parents were poor and migrated to America in 1883, to the anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania. Young Fiorenzo recalls an Incident during passage of tho Atlantic Ocean when their vessel rammed an object. The foreign passengers thought the ship was about to sink, and sailors were forced to beat them back below decks with clubs. His father worked in the coal mines until poor health caught up with him and the family returned to its homeland. Young Fiorenzo studied for the priesthood for two years, but admits he was "too wild" and thus he returned lo America.

Move to Shore Eventually Mr. Borga moved to Bradley Beach, where in 1914 was struck by a car while he was riding his bicycle. He lost a seven-month battle to save his mangled leg. and it was amputated. Mr.
