Councilman Harry Kronen-' wetter asked motorists not to use Central avenue until a repaving project is completed. He said George Mueller the Wall Township contractor, doing the work, has agreed to pay towing charges for some 20 motorists whose cars bogged down in unmarked excavations -over the holiday weekend.

Johnson, both Beachwood; Manchester Township Fire 'Deplorable' State POINT PLEASANT BEACH A Planning Board attempt to limit the number of amusement rides on the Boardwalk has drawn objections from ride operators while municipal officials continue to try to find out exactly what curbs the board wants. The Borough Council last night asked Borough Attorney' Harold Feinberg to meet with Planning Board lawyer Eugene Serpenlelli and planner E. Eugene Oross to get additional details on the proposal. Mayor Elmer F. Stikeleather asked for a detailed report by July 6.

Meanwhile, Joseph Johnson, president of the Greater Point Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce, said the trade group is opposed to any attempt to eliminate the amusements. At a hastily called press conference after the Council meeting, he said the proposal is "definitely unfair to the (ride operators) who have staked their lives in the area." James A. Lacey Plan-, ning Board chairman, said the board's suggestion to tighten zoning requirements in a four-block section of the beachfront was only an attempt to limit the number and size of amusement rides. But, Mr. Johnson said the proposal also would make wheel games and boardwalk arcades non-conforming usesf and eventually lead to their elimination.

The Planning Board wants the borough to eliminate a B-3 business zone, which permits amusement games between Ocean avenue and the Boardwalk between Parkway and Trenton avenue, and put the area in a B4 business zone which would permit only hotels, motels, restaurants, bait and tackle shops and a limited number of other businesses.

Maurice Hammond, assistant superintendent, said the library, cafeteria and gymnasium won't be ready for the opening of school, but he expects that classroom wings will. He said the administration is restructuring schedules in anticipation of single sessions, possible split sessions to affect Cedar Grove pupils only.

POINT PLEASANT The New Jersey Shore Builders Association met here last night to gather its forces to do battle with the Department of Environmental Protection and laid the groundwork to fight the Wetlands Bill that takes effect next year. Association President Henry D.

Mayer, Lacey Township, called for a war chest of $125,000 at a dinner meeting in the King's Grant Inn. At the end of the meeting, he said In pledges and cash had been made. He charged that Gov. William T. Cahill is the man responsible for putting objectionable regulations into effect.

He said the governor picked on Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May counties be-cause they were the least 5 populated. "There is more pollution in Raritan Bay and from the industries in North Jersey in -one eight-hour day than there is from the four counties in a year." Several speakers assailed the regulations coming from Richard J. Sullivan, state environmental protection commissioner. Of immediate attention to the association are hearings to be held this coming Tuesday and Wednesday at Monmouth College, West Long Branch. The hearings will be on proposed regulations governing the installation of on-site sewage disposal systems on filled lands within certain critical areas in the four counties.

The regulations would prohibit on-site sewage systems on filled lands in certain areas and would require permission from the department for installation in others. Mr. Mayer said he met with Mr. Sullivan yesterday and was informed that those opposed to the new regula- tions would have 30 days after next week's hearings to sub-' mit additional arguments. Mr.

Mayer said the depart-ment would then study all the material submitted for 60 days before acting to set a date to implement the act.

"It would seem patently unfair to allow the defendant to justify its hardship claim on the basis of work performed under a building permit secured by his own misrepresentation," Judge Martino said.

He recalled that Building Inspector Harold Shauger had testified he would not have issued the permit if he was aware of the way the house was to be built. Mr. Shauger said the application didn't reveal the house would be closer to the lot lines than permitted by the zoning code, and didn't reveal an easement which should have been considered in determining setback requirements. The permit was Issued in September 19G8, forcing the corporation to seek a renewal when the job wasn't completed within a year.
