The board said it would build the new library on seven acres of township-owned land on Mid-dletown-Lincroft road, opposite the railroad station. It was the first time the board has indicated any conces sion since it selected a 10-acre Spruce drive site in September. The Library Board, Planning Board and Township Committee will meet at 9 30 a m.

tomorrow to try to resolve the site issue.

Clifton School principal, and Milton F. Showell, general supervisor of elementary education here, to discuss the program's development. It was initiated as "Program Cause" in May 1964 with 25 college students participating.

Last year volunteers increased to 53 during the fall semester. "I think we're getting away from the experimental end into the developmental stage," Mr. Showell said last night. He said he hopes for enough college volunteers this fall to expand the program to the other three elementary schools here. Each volunteer is interviewed by Mr.

Showell or Mr. Blank, then assigned to a pupil with an academic deficiency she is most qualified to correct, Mr. Blank said. The girls work with pupils in and out of the classroom under the supervision of the regular teachers. Methods and materials used by the volunteers must be approved first by the teacher.

Volunteers questioned last night enthusiatically agreed the program is and Long Branch to Save on Insurance aid. Seen Superior Paul F.

He said the saving was accomplished by ordering a fixed cost workmen's compensation policy for one year without a penalty clause, this will cut the premium nearly $13,000, to By changing the premium from a retroactive to yearly fixed premium without penalty the city will save $2,000 on its insurance for vehicle, streets, and public property.

'I always thought teaching school was a relatively easy profession," Debbie Hanky, a sophomore sociology major, saw She said she has discovered that teaching well "is an art." Cross Section Involved Mr. Blank said the volunteers represent a cross section of major fields of study at the college, no one group predomi nates. He outlined possible developments in the program. Volunteers may work with more than one child with the same deficiency in the future, and may be allowed to attempt "more specific skill building," he said.

The girls said their work in the classrooms now brings them into contact with more than one child needing help. and they help whenever it is requested. Mr. Showell said an evalua tion of the program will be attempted toward the end of the semester. The test results of extra help pupils will be reviewed, but the evaluation will be based primarily on "the anecdotal rec-.

ords of the girls," he said. Three years ago the Committee rezoned the area from agricultural to R15 residential at Mr. Smith's request. One- acre Building lots are required in agricultural zones, while Uw-square-foot lots are permitted in R15 zones. Mr.

Smith said he had not developed the area pending completion of county plans to extend Fischer boulevard from Dover Township to Route 70. He said the county highway would pass through the corporation's holdings. In recommending the zonine change, the Planning Board said it would be costly to provide municipal services in the area, which is separated from the rest of the township by the parkway.

He is the son of Adios Sena tor and grandson of Adios, the world's most famous standard-bred harness horse. Adios sired horses whose owners have real ized more than $1.5 million. His most famous offspring is Adios Butler, who retired in 1961 after winning the mile-and-a-quarter, $50,000 National Pacing Derby at Roosevelt Raceway. Adios Butler set a world track record at all but one of the tracks he ran at, and was the only pacer to win harness racing's Triple Crown. Father Earned $120,000 Adios Senator, slightly overshadowed by Adios Butler, has grossed almost $120,000 on various tracks.

His best speed is the mile in 2:01. The original Adios, who died last summer at the age of 25, commanded the highest stud fee ever paid, $15,000.

The facilities would be incorporated into the over-all sewer plans. Negotiations are under way with both companies. Phillip J. Blanda township attorney, said both companies have agreed to sell and a settlement on prices is near. Mayor Olinsky said the Bay-shore Sewerage owned by Michael Nero, Fair Haven, could expand its facilities and raise its rates March 1, but has agreed not to.

Mayor Olinsky said if the company did so the Committee would launch condemnation pro ceedings against the Dlant. The Raritan Valley plant is owned by Howard Siegel, Matawan.

Mr. Kavalek explained that the Committee and Planning Board would want to get an duck Council to put aside its "feelings of yesterday and join hands to help make Long Branch a better city in which to live." Budget Work Told Mr. Rand, referring to the decisive vote for mayor-council government Wednesday, noted there is much work to be done on the budget because it now invloves the expenses to be incurred during the first six-months of operating under the new form.

Unter- meyer objected to Mr. Cioffi's calling the structure "second class." Mr. Cioffi explained he meant it will be inferior to a new building, "which the col lege can now afford." Mayor Vincent J.

The building will house a pumper and aerial ladder truck and their drivers while the condemned firehouse at Belmont and 3rd avenues is being demolished. Meanwhile, the Planning Board on March 7 will hold a public bearing on a proposed amendment to the master plan to build the new firehouse on the present site. Mr.

Dinkelspiel asked why the city spends money for master plans and then ignores its recommendations. He said a more definite proposal should be made before such a rental agreement is made. We may not have a new firehouse for three years," he noieo. Raritan Mulls More School Budget Cuts RARITAN TOWNSHIP Mayor Marvin Olinsky has indicated that further cuts may be made in the revised 1966-67 school budget which was rejected by voters Wednesday. "The voters have shown they feel the figures are too high," he said.

"So I assume the budget will have to be cut again." He did not say how much may be slashed from the budget, or when the Township Committee would meet with the Board of Education. The Committee decides the amount to be deleted from the budget, but the Board chooses from which categories the reductions should be made. Borough councils in Union Beach and Highlands have not decided what action to take on their defeated school budgets which were resubmitted to voters unchanged. tney cant agree on a spending schedule within 10 days the budget will be submitted to the state commissioner of education for a decision.

D'Zio said there was no' demand for agricultural land here. He said the assessment of about 1,300 acres in the area would have to be lowered, and questioned whether the zoning change would stand a court test. Data Asked For Mr. Brown urged the Committee to seek more data from Theodore Smith, a principal in Riviera Enterprises which owns some 1,100 acres in the area. Mr.

Smith has objected to the change, saying it will interfere with the company's plans to extend the Lake (Riviera development in Brick Township into Lakewood. TRENTON Ocean County is the fastest growing county in New Jersey, the fastest grow. ing state in the Middle Atlantic and New England regions, the state Conservation Department reported yesterday. Ocean had a growth rate of al- most 33 per cent between 1960 and the end of 1965. The de partment attributed this to va cation attractions, access to the Garden State Parkway, the conversion of summer homes into year-round dwellings, and a wave of -new housing devel opments.

Jackson Township and South Toms River, both in Ocean County, gained 102.7 and 100.2 per cent, respectively.
