The county sewerage authority plans to take over the plant when it puts Into operation a countywide network of regional sewers.

This total was more than $43,000 higher than the total of the five individual low bids. Robert D.

Conti, executive director of the authority, said he hopes a contract can be awarded within 10 days. But, he said the bids must be reviewed by federal officials, since federal funds will pay part of the cost of the work. The authority also is awaiting action by the Army Corps of Engineers on its application for a federal permit to extend the plant's outfall line. The authority wants to add 1,625 feet to the ocean end of the outfall, which now extends 1,000 feet seaward from the high-water mark. In recent months officials in Lavallette, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park have blamed the plant for a waxy substance which has washed up on beaches in the area.

The southern section would join the Garden State Parkway from the point where the Parkway and Route 9 become one. II. George Buckwald, chairman of the county planning board, said the board has no "serious objections" to the plan and said his attendance was only to speak if questions arose. Mr. Buckwald, also a Lakewood committeeman, said that municipality favors it also.

But Committeeman Ethel A. Zaun, followed by many township residents, vehemently opposed the road for a variety of reasons. "We have a home building program right now that we can't keep up with," Mrs. Zaun said, fearing the extension would bring too many people into the area. "I know I have the support of many of the people in Dover Township." Edward A.

Schilling, who house is 150 yards from the Parkway and 250 yards from the planned Turnpike spur, said the authority used poor planning when it chose the route. He cited increased traffic, the destruction of the ecology, the possible rain runoff, alternative of commuter railroads, and anticipated noise as reasons he opposed it. Mrs. Alice Kelsey, Silver-ton road, told the engineers and consultants on hand the Dover Township Homeowners and Tenants Association Inc. is on record as opposing it.

She said the group represents 300 persons. James Van Brummelin, Whitesville Road, said he found it odd the Authority issued a thick environmental impact study for public consumption, but not one homeowner he knew was asked for an opinion. "Is this a sham," be said rhetorically. Representing Jackson Township, Business Administrator George M. Guttoso said the project should have a positive impact on the area.

"Jackson, like many other municipalities in Ocean County, is a sleeping giant when it comes to development potential, Mr. Guttoso said, indicating the township hopes the road will bring ratables with it. He said, however, the planned route should be altered to preserve the Estonian Half of U.S. Sharing Funds Will Help County Tax Rate MILK CAN THEFT ACKNOWLEDGED TOMS RIVER Glenn C.

The county expects another grant of about $800,000 next month.

"Ocean county has no bonded debt and we are determined to maintain this will be instructed to deposit diate safety of our children," said committee member Margaret A. Levins. But Board members claim one reason for promoting re-gionalization was the new high school proposed for construction here would have eliminated need for the BRICK TOWNSHIP The president-elect of the Brick Township Education Association (BTEA) was preparing to press his appeal to the state education commissioner today in an effort to reinstate charges against the superintendent of schools. "We will forward to the state all the supporting evidence the Board had," James F. McCabe, the BTEA official, said shortly after the Board dismissed the charges against C.

Stephen Raciti, the superintendent, last night. The Board did not deny that at least some of the events delineated by Mr. McCabe in the eight and one-half pages of charges he brought did occur. But the Board determined whatever Mr. Raciti may have done was not severe enough to incur one of the two penalties provided by law dismissal or reduction in pay.

Mr. McCabe had accused St. Peter's School Building Unavailable to Annex Pupils erred to events that oc- curred years before several date to 1969 or 1970 and which caused bitter controversy when they happened. For example, Mr. Raciti's decision to remove books containing profanity from two English courses and not to rehire two non-tenured teachers who supported a strike are the basis for some of the complaints.

The superintendent has declined to comment on the substance of the charges and Mr. Ward warned the board again last night to say noth- ing because of the pending appeal. But Mr. Raciti has termed the charges a "vicious retaliation" for charges he brought in September and October 1971 against Mrs. Kathleen M.

Pietrunti, the BTEA president. Mrs. Pietrunti was fired as a high school teacher last July because of the complaint. Mr. Agnoli helped incorporate a dozen years ago, and then promptly filed a letter of protest.

Mrs. Lewis said she has already turned the matter over to Leonard G. Lomell, township attorney, but added no decision has to be made until after the" filing deadline, which is April 2S if the primary is held June 5. Boy Scout Camp off Apple-gate road. But Mrs.

Thomas Campol-la, Bennetts Mills Road, Jackson Township, protested strenuously because her home would have to be removed if the proposed route is accepted. "And most of all, I don't like being told where I have to live," she said. John Ebere, speaking on behalf of the Citizens' Conservation Council of Ocean County, read into the record a lengthy prepared statement. The council is made up of 26 environmental groups in the county. In part, it read: "We believe that to move ahead with this highway at this time would be inconsistent with the (Gov.

William Cuhill administration's efforts to bring rationality to New Jersey through tax reform and through its proposed community planning law. One of the stated purposes of the law is to 'promote the conservation of open spaces and valuable natural resources and to prevent urban sprawl and degradation of the environment through improper use of land. To handle the anticipated increase in traffic in the township, the Authority plans a widening of the Parkway to eight lanes from Whitesville road south to Route 37. Then it would taper down to four lanes until it ends somewhere near Dover road in South Toms River. The upper widening would be constructed west of the Parkway while the lower widening would be done inside the median now separating the parkway.

There would be three interchanges in the township, but toll collection would not start until a point north of Route 70. The Authority is scheduled to conduct one more hearing tonight in Middlesex County before it digests public comments. It is to be held at the Cedar Bridge High School, Route 516, Madison Township, at 7:30 p.m. The Authority plans to study the comments and make its final recommendations to Gov. Cahill and Richard J.

Sullivan, state Department of Environmental Protection commissioner, next month. Mr. Sullivan must first approve final recommendations and send them to Gov. Cahill. And until the governor approves the route, the Authority can't acquire any land or award construction contracts.

Shore Builders contends the ordinance, which was tabled by the Committee last week despite the objection of Mayer Ralph Finelli, will force some small contractors out of business. And the association claims large developers will reflect the five per cent in the price of new homes. The mayor was the only member of the Committee to vote last week against the motion to meet with the builders. Contending that the Committee should have passed the ordinance, the mayor said, "I've fought too long to protect the people of this town. "Who is going to protect the new home owner? We've been trying for two years to come up with a way of providing this protection and no group has come to our assistance," Mayor Finelli said.

The mayor added, "Whenever the Committee takes restrictive steps, some organization always is opposed to it." Committeeman Herbert Do-Ian has stated the township needs an ordinance "with teeth in it." He said the ordinance will be a "safeguard to the people of this community." man ADMITS (WILT TOMS RIVER Dennis M. George, Pine Lake-hurst, interrupted his trial before Ocean County Judge William F. O'Connor Jr. yesterday to plead guilty to passing a worthless $216 check at Miracle Mile Foodlown, lite. 37, Dover Township, between May 3 arid May 26, 1971.

DOVER TOWNSHIP A hearing attended by relatively few citizens and only a handful of public officials has generated general opposition to the proposed Toms Rivtr spur of the New Jersey Turnpike. The second of three public to the proposed Toms River High School North last night, was marked by a conspicuous lack of federal, state, Ocean County, and municipal officials. It was in sharp contrast to one held Tuesday in Monmouth County where a concerted public-private effort was exhibited against the toll road. Only 150 persons, including New Jersey Turnpike Authority officials, attended the three and a half hour session, as compared to more than 1,000 the night before. William J.

Flanagan, the Authority's executive director, explained the Turnpike extension as planned would require the Authority to acquire 33 homes, four businesses, and 37 mobile homes in the county. The proposed route, which begins in East Brunswick Township, would enter the high standard and give every possible relief to the taxpay-ing public," Mr. Portash said. Freeholder Director George F. Makin, who will retire Dec.

31, said Tuesday the county could avoid issuing bonds to pay for an adminis tration building, health department offices and a minimum security institution if revenue sharing funds were used to defray part of the costs. Mr. Makin has been a leading exponent of paying for county improvements from current income. Under his guidance, the freeholders have been able to hold the county tax rate at 50.2 cents for each $100 of assessed valuation for several years. Mr.

Portash, who will become freeholder director when the Board organizes Jan. 2, said he was speaking for the entire Board, including freeholder-elect Ernest A. Buhr. The Board last night hired Mrs. Patricia Hopkins, Tuck-erton, who will join Stuart MacKenzie as a fifth grade teacher.

They will instruct 45 students. Mr. Mitchell said the program has been approved by the Township Committee and the county superintendent of schools. Frederick A. Priff, school principal, said the kindergarten through sixth grade school has 299 students, up 55 from June of last year.

Mr. Priff said the increase in the school's population has made it necessary to create two classrooms from an all-purpose room this year. He said there are eight classrooms and a kindergarten room in the school. Meanwhile, negotiations are continuing between the Board of Education and the Mayer Corp. on plans to have the developers build a school on property adjacent to the elementary school and, in turn, lease it to the Board.

Mr. Mitchell said once the lease agreement is worked out, a referendum will be called "as soon as possible." He said the lease agreement would give the Board an option to buy after 20 years. A referendum to build an extension to the present school has been turned down twice by township voters. Mr. Priff said the additional school would be built on a 14-acre wooded tract behind the existing school and extending to Wells Mills road.

Mr. Mitchell said it has not been determined which grades would occupy the new school if it is approved. lie said the temporary classroom set up in the municipal building would continue until the new school is built or until the elementary school is switched to split sessions. EARLY PRIMARY SQUABBLE Aspirants File Same Slogan Township's Hall To House Students POINT PLEASANT BEACH Public school students soon to be displaced by the closing of the high school annex can't use the old St. Peter's School building because church officials say thev need the room.

Rev. Eric Fenner said last night parochial activities for which the building is now used would preclude rental of the facility to the local Board of Education. While Catholic school students now attend classes in a new building across Atlantic avenue from the older structure, the latter building is used for Holy Name and Rosary Society meetings, classes for exceptional children, and instruction of public school children, as well as church and community affairs. The annex, located next to PerformanceBond Code to Be Aired Mr. Raciti of being anti-Semitic, anti-Negro, of improperly using his office to revenge himself upon teachers active in BTEA affairs, and of improperly insulting teachers.

Under state law, the Board was compelled to either dismiss the charges or certify them to Dr. Carl L. Marbur-ger, the state education commissioner, for a tenure hearing. At the same time Mr. McCabe filed the charges, however, he also asked Dr.

Marburger to certify them upon his own motion. The teacher contended the Board would be prejudiced in support of Mr. Raciti and would not certify them. Board attorney Donald II. Ward, however, said he will argue there is no statutory provision to allow such certification.

"I could see it where there is a clear case of prejudice," Mr. Ward said. "But there is no showing here."

Freeholder Joseph S. Por-tash said yesterday' county Treasurer John G. Woods the high school on Trenton avenue, is scheduled to close in February because of safety and fire hazards recent insertions revealed there. The Board is seeking other facili-teis for some 270 seventh through twelfth grade students who use the building. If the Board fails, split sessions at some as yet undetermined grade level will probably result.

Meanwhile, the Civic Com-rr'ttee, an ad hoc group that oonosed a high school region-aiization proposal here last summer, has blamed the Board for conditions at the Annex. "Obviously these conditions could be overlooked by the school board so long as doing so would foster the regional hish school plan, apparently with little or no regard for the taxpayers or the imme a ir-f 3 wMtmM4 BERKELEY TOWNSHIP -When candidates file petitions for a primary election that is seven months away, they don't expect to have any trouble picking the slogan they want but it has happened here. Four Democratic candidates for the Township Committee filed petitions' only two days apart last week and already a squabble has started about who will have what label. Michael Fedornak and James Morey filed Dec. 6 with the slogan Regular Democratic Organization (RDO) only to find that Mayor Andrew Yurcisin and Committeeman Joseph Si-monc had filed two days earlier and used the same slogan.

Mrs. Carmela Lewis said die told Mr. Fedornak and Mr. Morey the slogan they Bought to use was already taken and they would either have to be grouped with the other two candidates or they would have to use another slogan. The thwarted candidates then sought help from Bruno Agnoli, Democratic state committeeman from Occin County, who appeared before Lewis with the candidates to protest the slogan used by Mayor Yurcisin and Committeeman Simonc.

Garage Sales Now Require A License PINE BEACH Residents planning garage or similar type private sales here must obtain a license, but won't have to pay a fee. An ordinance requiring licenses for sales by individuals or charitable organizations was adopted bv the Borough Council Tuesday.

It limits hours of sales from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A proposed license foe schedule was before a public hearing. When the ordinance was introduced last month it included a fee schedule of $10 for individuals and $5 for charitable organizations. "The purpose is to control, not regulate these sales," Mayor Benjamin II.

Mahie said. The Council also added a provision that persons holding sales must notify police if a problem develops during a sale, Mr. Mabie said. Another ordinance authorizing the borough to sign an agreement with the Ocean County Sewerage Authority for treatment and disposal ol sewage was adopted. JACKSON TOWNSHIP -The Township Committee will meet next Tuesday night prior to its caucus with Shore Builders Associates at the municipal building to discuss a proposed controversial ordinance which would require all builders to post a five per cent performance bond.
