Rector yesterday. Mr. Volante polled 415 votes; Mr. Schultze, 406; Mr. Rector, 285, and Mr.

Quinn, 281. The sweep gives the Republicans control of the council 4 to 2. In 1962, the Borough elected led the field with 5,277 votes. Less than 500 votes separated Mr. Neri and the losers.

Mr. Neri had 4,822 votes; Mr. Carter, 4,387, and Democrat Dominick Quadara, 4,735. Republicans will hold a 3 to 2 majority on the Committee, losing one sat. Of the township's 11,662 registered voters, 9,990 voted.

Carter Cites Problems Mayor Carter, a committeeman since 1956, blamed his defeat on "being mayor when many crucial problems facing Brick Township came to a head." He cited opposition revealed Monday to an $800,000 sewerage system, school growth which requires a constantly bigger chunk of the local tax dollar, and demands for new facilities and services without enough tax money to pay for them. He was obviously shocked. Mr. Neri said the national campaign "had something to do with It (Mr. Carter's defeat)." "I'm very tired, he commented, this has been a rough one.

I think the veterans' groups and the senior citizens helped me out, but a lack of co-ordination hurt our campaign." "I feel fine," said Mr. Byrne. "We won but we lost. Frank sive door-to-door campaign waged by his opponents might have made the ilifference. But he said it was hard to evaluate that should be attracted here.

Mr. Thomas decided not to seek re-election. Mathis Defeats Kehoe his surprising defeat.

He openly split with h's colleagues on the pro-" posed purchase of two privately owned water companies, to start a public water system. He favors the system, but claims the companies cost too much, i This fast-growing community, now the largest in Ocean County with a 24,000 population, depends on private wells for most of its septic tanks for sewage disposal, and the state police for law enforcement. Mr. Byrne and Mr. Neri were first elected in 1961, as the Township Committee expanded from three to five members.

Mr. Neri originally won a full three-year torn; Mr. Byrne, an. abbreviated two-year term. Voters approved a public ques- tion granting tenure to Republican Tax Collector Helen C-Schaefer, 4,457 to 2,891.

And voters gave Democratic Committeeman Albert J. Cucci, his party's candidates for Ocean County Sheriff, a majority of less than 300 voters. He was expected to carry the township heavily. But Republican Sheriff James N. Rutter polled 4,684, to his 4,987 votes.

And President Johnson, Democratic Sen. Harrison A. Williams and Congressional candidate James J. Howard carried the township by varying margins. Aggressive Campaign Mr.

Quadara waged the most aggressive campaign, charging the Committee failed to keep up with the township's growth, while taxes tripled with no new services provided.

"Personally, I'm very happy. Rezoning was the issue with the largest effect." His victory maintains the GOP's 2 to 1 majority on the committee.

Rezoning Opposed Mr. Mathis based his campaign on opposing rezoning large undeveloped areas in the western part of the township. His objections were responsible for the death of a controversial ordinance, Sept. 25 which would have rezoned about 1,000 acres in Pinewald. Mr.

Kehoe claimed some rezoning is necessary. He cited the Jefferson tract, laid out in the 1920's, which he said doesn't coincide with the new tax map. But the two men agreed on several other proposals, including a master plan, tougher controls for developers, stepping Councilmen James H.

Question Approved Voters also approved 993 to 823 a public question to allow Dover Township to annex its half of Pelican Island, lying in Barnegat Jay near seaside Heights. Its 140 families have promoted annexation for several years. They cite the island's remoteness from the rest cf the township, which they say can't provide police and fire protection, sewerage system, road maintenance, and schools close to home. The Dover Township Committee has discussed the matter, and will probably annex the rest of the island. About half the island now lies in Dover Township, which could more easily provide facilities.
