The PPP members contended that the ordinance would put the township in a better bargaining position with developers. They explained that the subdivisions are actually one-acre in density, Township Council last night introduced an ordinance that may settle the Saathoff zoning dispute. The Purpose and Principle Party (PPP) majority introduced an ordinance which would require three-quarter acre building lot sizes in an area which weni against tne master pian and that it would pave the way for mass development.

Public hearing on the measure is set for he next Council meeting, March 14. The ordinance also sets a firm boundary line for Mr. Saath-off's 138 acre tract. It was the old boundary, labeled "Proposed Route 18," that was declared vague in court and turned the property back to a half-acre zone. The CC controlled Planning Board, which under the Faulkner Act has veto powers on zoning, now gets copies of the planned ordinance for review and possible amendment.

Residents in the audience of 80 suggested that the ordinance should instead be offered as a referendum ballot question; that the moratorium be extended to halt all subdivisions for the next six months; that a citizens advisory committee be appointed to confer with the Council and planning board to correct the zoning ordinance, and that Crowd surges forward for a look at Miss Pam Craig, soon to be hypnotized and sealed into cake of ice.

and around the center. "This is the worst traffic jam in the history of this shopping center," said Eatontown Police Capt. Henry Riddle. Cars in the center parking areas were lined up for at least two hours before cars around the Eatontown circle could be cleared to permit shoppers to exit. We have well over 5,000 cars in the shopping center," said Richard Weisman, manager and public relations director, "and we have turned away double that number." Cars were reported at a stand still along Route 35 as far back as Red Bank.

Miss Craig admitted she was a little nervous after seeing the crowd awaiting her entry Into the ice. In an interview earlier in the day. she said this was her third such stunt that she fees, for approval of the subdivision. In other action, the Council introduced an ordinance which would raise salaries of all municipal employes by about 10 per cent each. This the first pay raise since 1966.

The Council received, and forwarded a copy to the planning board, a letter from the local Businessmen's Association calling for the creation of a shopping center zone near the north boundary of the township and extension of half-acre and industrial zones.

Several children, long ago By LEIGH COOK Press Staff Writer MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP-The newest and one of the youngest Monmouth County judges, Patrick J. McGann advocates the recognition of today's youth by public officials in at least two controversial areas-lowering the voting and drinking ages. Appointed to a five-year term on the bench in December, Judge McGann was sworn in Jan.

12 to replace county Judge Edward J. Ascher. Though new to the judgeship, Mr. McGann has been a familiar figure in legal circles since he joineed the law firm of Reussille, Cornwell, Mausner, Carotenuto and McGann in 1957. The 40-year-old father of five has some outspoken opinions on the behavior and attitudes of the younger generation.

He blames much of the irresponsible attitudes of young people on the lack of supervision and a fading idealism in the home life. "THE TROUBLES STEM from the root in the home," Judge McGann remarked. "You can see it's not just bad kids coming from bad homes anymore. In many cases, the so-called good homes are without proper supervision. We can no longer point to a broken household as the crux of a young person's errant behavior." He added: "Kids today want to be part of the crowd.

They don't want to be what we considered good, anymore. But I don't have the answer to why they want to be different than any other generation." He said many youngsters lack imagination in finding ways to pass their time. "When I was a boy," he said, "we could spend hours sifting the sand at the beaches looking for lost coins or searching the ruins of an abandoned barn." "I STILL LOVE the circus, but with all the exposure to television, I found that my own kids weren't realy impressed when I took them," he commented. Judge McGann doesn't cast a dissenting voice on all youth, however. He said the exposure of young people to all forms of entertainment and news media have made them much more informed and aware of the tempo of the times.

His prime interest is that they be recognized as integral and valuable voices in our society. Since they comprise half of the American public today," he said, "I feel they should be allowed at least the right to vote." "If the draft can call 18-year-olds, then I am all in favor of their voting at 18. In conjunction with the same age group, Judge McGann said he also sees no reason whv the drinking age cannot be lowered to 18. "WHY MAKE THEM cheat and lie to take a drink when parents know they are doing it anyway?" he questioned. In his new role, Judge McGann said he now aspires "to be a good judge." He said that one of the joys of the job is in working with jurors.

"These people take their jobs seriously and I am thrilled to observe their deliberations in a case," he commented. "I can seee they are really listening to all the testimony." The judge said he has never had second thoughts after handing down a decision. "There's no point in second-guessing myself," he said. Though only on the bench for a short time, he feels the courts in the state have made good forward moves in keeping up with the cases to be heard.

LYNCH Four Enter Council Race In Highlands HIGHLANDS To date, six petitions have been picked up for the Borough Council election May 14 and four residents are admitted candidates. Incumbent Councilmen William P.

McGowan and Ellen M. Lynch said they are interested in running again if they can find suitable running mates. Political newcomers George E. Andrews, 4th and Mrs. Eileen Sehmeded, 4th say they are running independently.

At the same time, former Mayor Cornelius J. Guiney Jr. and former Councilman Herman J. Black, who previously said they would field a slate this year, reported they have decided against it. Mr.

Guiney, who has served five terms on the Borough Council, said that since his 1965 defeat he has watched the local tax rate climb from $3.90 for each $100 assessed valuation to $5.28. "The (Mayor Jolin Bhars administration has not accomplished one thing to justify it, and in fact, the five people sitting on Council have set the town back." he contended. Won't Step In "Why should or anyone else, want to step into such a mess and try to undo the damage that has been done. In the first place, it would take years to correct, and secondly, all a person would get is a kick in the teeth for it, and I've had my share," he added. Councilmen McGowan and Lynch were elected in 1965 on a slate with Mayor Bahrs and Councilmen Frank J.

Hall and Ernest A. Vaughan, defeating the Guiney slate. But before the election dust had settled Mr. McGowan and Mrs. Lynch were at odds with the Bahrs-Hall faction, on all major issues, with Councilman Vaughan in the middle.

"As of now," remarked Mr. Vaughan, "I do not plan to seek re-election. Even though I've gotten a lot of satisfaction from the job. I don't like being put in the middle." Hall Not Interested Councilman Hall, a 0 mayor, has said he is not interested in running again. But he has made that statement before, following it up with an announcement of his candidacy at the last minute.

Mayor Bahrs continues to decline comment on the political picture. While making it clear they would not seek re-election on a Bahrs-Hall slate, Councilmen McGowan and Lynch have been equally evasive on the subject of running mates. Reported possibilities are George Dinkelacker, former Planning Board chairman, and Se RACE Page 23 done inside the truck. Moments later he appeared and told the group that Miss Craig was entombed. At this point, young boys in the crowd climbed trees in the mall, hung on the sides of brick buildings and scrambled over and under the truck for a better look.

places Miss Craig in a trance before she enters the ice to prevent her from feeling the cold, or from getting hungry or thirsty. After about 30 minutes, Dr. Le Roy abandoned efforts to quiet the group and announced that since he needed silence to induce the trance, it would be with cases stemming from last summer's riots. Here in Monmouth County, though, he said, the longest cases wait is no more than a year. This he cited as a good indication of efficiency in the county's court system.

Referring to trials by jury, Mr. McGann said there is a move afoot in some circles to abolish this type of jurisdiction in settling insurance claims. He said if allowed to happen, insurance companies would be allowed to pay claims based on damages to each car without the guilty party taking the actual blame. "This could result in a general revolt against authority," he remarked. "Big government could crowd in, throwing off the shackles of authority of the courts, through the juries, and we could end up with a complete anarchy." HE SAID ALSO if the idea were encouraged, people would blame someone else in cases where they were guilty.

Family life is important to Judge McGann and he now finds he has more time to spend at home on his 9 to 4 schedule. He and his wife, Bernadette, are the parents of Patrick III, 14: Maura, 11; Michael, Deidre, 4, and Meghan, 2. Before becoming a judge there were many nights spent at municipal meetings in the Bayshore when he served as attorney for Union Beach, Keansburg, the Matawan Utilities Authority, and Red Bank and Sea Bright. In 1964, Mr. McGann was elected as the first Democratic assemblyman since 1936, defeating Republican Louis Aikens by 6,414 votes.

WITH TWO SUBSEQUENT defeats in 1966 and 1967 for the Assembly post, Mr. McGann pursued his duties as an attorney without any aspirations to a career as a judge. "It came completely as a surprise to me," he observed. "I knew my name had been submitted to Gov. Hughes, but I didn't think too much about the appointment." He said he misses working with the law firm and does not completely rule out future involvement in politics.

His activities in the community now are limited to membership in the Red Bank Rotary Club. Given a choice, he said he prefers to spend his evenings with his five children and his wife.

The plans now under consideration called for a rectangular-shaped facility designed to handle preventative maintenance of the township's 60 pieces of equipment by the road department's four mechanics.

More extensive, costly repairs were to be farmed out. Plans Changed Under the new proposal, the Committee would forego plans for road department office and a sign and paint shop for the time being. Low bids on the municipal garage complex received Jan. 9 came in about $5,000 higher than the architect's estimates, due to a 13 per cent increase in the price of structural steel.

But the ruling, which also barred the pet horse from Mr. McNamara's property, has what her owner thinks is a loophole led to the homecoming. Princess had been away four months, boarding some two miles from her Maple avenue home, while Mr.

McNamara fought a complaint that her backyard shelter violated the zoning ordinance here. Superior Court Judge Clark-son S. Fisher this week upheld a Municipal Court decision which found the shelter illegal. Judge Fisher noted in his opinion "there was no accusation that the presence of the horse or the fenced enclosure, violated the zoning ordinance." He added, however, that "it was stipulated by the parties that state law ai.d SPCA regulations require a shelter for the housing of an animal." "If the horse shelter is found to be non-conforming to the ordinance, the horse will also be required to be removed from the defendant's land," Judge Fisher declared. But Mr.

McNamara said the only regulation he has to meet is sheltering the horse from the weather and overnight, and said he's found a "legal" stable only two blocks away.
