However, under the George Sands, plans to con from the dumpster later in the week and deposited it in the sanitation truck which was unloaded the morning of July 22 at Long Pine, a Freehold Township landfill. Authorities used county equipment to search the landfill for seven days after Goodwyn 's arrest July 23, but to no avail.

The jury brought in the verdict at about 5:18 p.m. yesterday after Judge William T. Wichmann had read his charge to them twice. SPRING LAKE HEIGHTS A multifamily housing ban, that will be illegal under a new state law, may be continued here under another name. The Borough Council last night introduced a zoning ordinance amendment to prohibit construction of multifamily housing in all but two zones.

And the two zones selected for such construction don't have enough undeveloped land to accommodate large complexes, Mayor Richard J. Rooney said. "In effect, we're continuing our moratorium, but not using the word," he said. The borough has continued a ban on multifamily developments, renewed every six months, for the past four Mayor Warns Land Use Law To Cost $15,000 Asbury Park Preu Scaffolding surrounds new section of Freehold Area Hospital, Rte. 537, Freehold Township, partially financed by Farmer's Home Administration loan.

Freehold Hospital Gets Farmer's Home Loan Building Inspector In Brielle to Quit the federally subsidized interest program intended to help establish needed medical facilities in rural areas. The administration authorized the $3 million loan at 5 per cent Interest over a 40-year period. The low interest loan will enable the hospital to save more than $1 million over the life of the loan, according to Goldberger. Rep. James J.

Howard, and Sen. Harrison Williams, were helpful in the hospital's effort to receive the financing, Goldberger said. Additional money is being sought through fund-raising efforts, he said. FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP The Farmer's Home Administration has granted a $3 million loan to Freehold Area Hospital to finance its expansion program, according to Harold W. Goldberger, president of the hospital board of trustees.

Construction of a 45-bed addition to the hospital began in April 1976. The four-story, $5-million addition will include expanded emergency and operating rooms and laboratory, X-ray, intensive care and coronary care units. The Farmer's Home Administration, part of the Department of Agriculture, operates FREEHOLD Jesse T. Goodwyn, charged with killing his 79-year-old foster mother whose body has-never been found was sentenced yesterday to life imprisonment after a jury found him guilty of first degree murder. Goodwyn confessed in oral and written statements taken by Freehold police July 23 and 24 to having argued with Mrs.

Fannye Bryant, 99 Throckmorton July 19 over a $45 check drawn on her savings account. Goodwyn also is charged with forging checks and withdrawal slips in Mrs. Bryant's name at Colonial First National Bank. Goodwyn confessed to striking Mrs. Bryant, attempting to choke her and when all else failed when "she wouldn't die" stabbing her in the neck with a meat knife from the kitchen table.

The 23-year-old man also confessed to wrapping Mrs. Bryant's body in couch covers after the murder, and then rolling it in a red carpet and dumping it in a garbage dumpster behind Eng's Kitchen, in the Pond Road Shopping Center in Freehold Township. A Monmouth County sanitation worker, Robert Constantino, testified Tuesday that he removed a "red material substance, a rug" and Centeno entered the Midnight Rambler the afternoon of Nov. 25, 1975. Asmar said that Butler told him "You know what we're here for." Butler then said, "If you don't pay the $4,000, you'll get buried." Asmar testified.

Police said they found 14 gambling slips, six of which bore Reap's name. Reap joined Butler and Centeno at the bar after Asmar was threatened. Reap was identified by the state as a "runner" in the gambling operation. Reap was sentenced Friday after the prosecutor's office had received a number of letters of commendation from former teachers, friends and family, Scheuler said yesterday. Asmar was stabbed in the throat and is accused of shooting Nelson.

His trial has been scheduled for this month. Prison Sentences Given BKifcXLt; Frank A. De-Riso will resign as building inspector on Feb. 1. Mayor Robert Collinson last night appointed John Hill, formerly of the Jersey City building department, to replace him.

Borough Clerk Joseph An-dresini said that Hill will serve both the borough and Point Pleasant Beach as construction code officer under the newly implemented state construction code. DeRiso receives $2,400 a year for his services. The borough will pay Hill $7.04 per hour. Andresini said he expected Hill to work 10 hours per week. Marcella M.

Caldwell, a former police department desk employe, has filed a complaint against the borough with the state Division 3 Convicted in Threat Case After the verdict was brought in, Wichmann told Goodwyn what he did was a "dastardly" thing and that if the death penalty existed, Wichmann would have had no hesitation in imposing it. According to testimony at the trial, Fannye Bryant, returned home at about 5:30 p.m. July 19, after visiting her husband, Arthur, at Freehold Area Hospital, Freehold Township.

Heater Linked To Blaze ASBURY PARK An electric space heater is believed to have been the cause of a fire early yesterday in a rooming house at 415 3rd according to Fire Chief John B. Gubitosa.

The investigation is continuing, but preliminary reports indicate the fire was started by the heater in a bedroom on the third floor of the three-story wood frame building, Gubitosa said. Four families were evacuated from the three floors by fire fighters responding to the 6.53 a.m. alarm. No one was injured, Gubitosa said. The first floor was heavily damaged by water.

Donovan said.

At a Council meeting last night an ordinance to adopt the code was introduced. A public hearing was scheduled for Jan. 24. The code calls for a complete revision of the Board of Adjustment and Planning Board, Donovan said. The Board of Adjustment will be increased from eight to nine members, and the Planning Board will be in creased from five to seven members.

The powers and membership requirements are also being revised. "There is no need for us to update the master plan," Donovan said. "But the state says we have to and it mandated several minor changes in the zoning code." The mayor said the cost of hiring a professional planner to do the job will cost between $10,000 and $15,000. The law also requires a method of appeal from either boards. However, the Council decided to refer all appeals to the county, Donovan said.

The Council held the award of bids for sludge removal for 1977 and the repair to the Stockton Lake boulevard bulkhead until the Jan. 24 meeting. Donovan said when the Stockton Lake boulevard was built, incorrect tie rods were installed. Thus, he said, the bulkhead has now bowed about 50 feet in three places. "Anodic rods should have been put there because they resist erosion," Donovan explained.

Decker said he would request an investigation by the state police arson squad, adding that such an investigation is routine for a large fire. Barry Feldman, owner of the company which was housed inside the rented building, said his equipment and stock were worth approximately $80,000. Only about half of the stock was insured, according to Feldman.

"I can't even think straight now," said Feldman. "I'm completely wiped out." Sgt. Gary Priccaciante, one of the investigating police detectives, said the fire broke out at 10:05 p.m. Southard Fire Department responded immediately and received assistance from Freewood Acres Fire Department and Squankum Fire Company.

The complex is to be operated as a private enterprise. However, Rooney said, neither project is contingent upon the other. Rooney also reminded the Council that the amended code would be temporary, and the zones could be altered by revising the master plan, currently under review. The Council introduced a code, as required by the state, saying it is revising the plan.

Under the proposed ordinance, the borough would adopt its current zoning code as an interim ordinance until the plan is updated to comply with state laws by a February 1978 deadline. An ordinance to set construction fees to conform with requirements of the state uniform construction code also was introduced. Another ordinance, proposed by Councilman John Tully, would ease off-street parking regulations. Current codes prohibit parking on streets between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

from November through April to facilitate snow removal. The new code would establish off-street parking hours between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. from Dec. 1 through March 15.
