(UPI) Insurance Violations Are Charged in Avon IGoldwatcrs Shore Fans ASBURY PARK Sixteen condemned houses on the site of the proposed Munroe Towers apartment project won't be demolished until after March 31. The City Council voted last night to postpone awarding a contract for demolition until a special meeting scheduled for 5 p.m. March 31. The Council condemned the Salary Hikes Proposed For City Employes ASBURY PARK An ordinance authorizing pay raises for lfiO city employes was introduced by the City Council last night.

Public hearing is scheduled for 8 p.m. March 25 in City Hall. City Manager Kendall H. Lee, not among those in line for a raise, said the hikes are being made in connection with the state's civil service reclassification of city employes. The raises will range from $120 to $300 a year, Mr.

Lee said. The total cost this year will be $20,000. Most raises will average between $120 and $200, Mr. Lee said. Zone Move Referred The Council referred back to the Planning Board a zoning amendment that would require apartment houses of more than three units to be built on lots with 100 feet of frontage.

The zoning laws now require a minimum of 50 feet frontage. Frank George, 401 Sewall complained of a provision in the amendment that would forbid alteration of existing buildings to include three or more apartments if the building were not on a 100-foot lot. "I don't see why owners of existing properties should have to bear this hardship," Mr. George said. "I plan to retire in a few years and convert my home to apartments.

My lot only has 67 feet frontage." Bus Ordinance Introduced The Council introduced an ordinance which would relax charter bus restrictions. Bus companies would have to get permits for charter buses coming into the city only on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays instead of every day. The permit fee is $10. Public hearing is scheduled for 8 p.m. March 25.

City officials felt the charter bus permit requirement was keep. ing weekday excursion business out of the city, See SALARY Page 3 Thieves Get $300 in Cash, Tools, Truck FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP-Po-lice are investigating the theft of about $300, tools, and a truck from C.

The thieves also took power tools, batteries, and other equipment. A 1955 model stake body truck was stolen from the firm and apparently used to haul away the loot. The value of the stolen items was estimated at $2,500. Trooper Louis Taranto is investigating.

information service library. Several thousand Cambodians rampaged through the build ings during three hours of disorder. The flag over the U.S. embassy was hauled down and burned, and the mob ran up the Cambodian flag. Several cars belonging to members of the British embassy were burned, and several American embassy cars were overturned.

The mob shouted such slogans as "U.S. go home," "Down with imperialists" and the free world," and "Perfidious Albion (England)." In Washington, state department press officer Martin Cramer said no Americans were reported injured in the riot but several demonstrators were cut by shattered glass from windows stoned by the mob. Mr. Cramer said U.S. Charge D'Affaires Herbert D.

Spivack had protested to the Cambodian government. The rioters broke through police barriers to sack the U.S. embassy and the information library. They put a ladder against an embassy wall to bring down the American flag. Embassy papers were scattered through the streets.

Relations between the United States and Cambodia have deteriorated in recent months, and the government of Prince Norodom Sihanouk has moved closer to the Communist camp. The Cambodian chief of state has recalled his ambassador from Washington and refused to accept further U.S. aid, accusing the United States of supporting Cambodian rebels. Washington has denied this. Sihanouk criticized the United States Monday night in connection with his proposal that the United States, Thailand, and South Viet Nam send representatives here by the end of March to sign an accord recognizing Cambodia's neutrality and territorial integrity.

The 42-year-old prince said the U.S. suggested creating a frontier delimitation committee; instead. "The American counterproposal constitutes an immense dupery absolutely unacceptable and inadmissible," he said. "The delimitation of the Cambodian frontiers is not to be done over." "I jast wonder if your father li trying to tell me something." Violent Tornado-like winds skipped across New Jersey yesterday, stopping briefly and violently in portions of Monmouth County. At least eight persons were injured, none of them seriously, by sailing debris.

No injuries were reported at the Shore. "It was crazy," Mrs. Herman Daggett, 726 Gail Rd Neptune, said. "It hit our development, Storyland Estates, about 2 p.m. The windows next door in Mrs.

The Council continued to reserve decision on the identical low bids of $4,800 submitted by the Thomas Farrell Contracting Shrewsbury, and the Interstate Wrecking Springfield.

Asks About Status Mrs. Earl Rogers, representing the Bond Street School Parent Teacher Association, asked the Council about the status of the project last night. City Manager Kendall H. Lee said Shore Associates should have financing difficulties solved by March 25, the deadline for a Federal Housing Administration mortgage committment of more than $4 million. Mr.

The voter registration drive continues tonight with two buses picking up West Side residents and taking them to City Hall. About 30 West Side residents used the biues last night. The rest came in their own cars or walked. About 10 other city residents registered.

The registration deadline for the April 21 primary election is tomorrow. Registiation Heavy City Clerk Mary Martin said voter registrations during daytime office hours have been heavy the past week; This is normal for a presidential election year, she said. About 75 voters have registered in the past week, she said, half from West Side districts. Voters also may register between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

and 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. today and tomorrow. The NAACP is sponsoring the registration drive as the start of a campaign to unseat three City Council members who voted against introducing an ordinance authorizing a $2.7 million bond issue for an intermediate school.

A spokesman said engineers are working out a new alignment in that area to make it unnecessary for the department to acquire the eight properties. The details, he added, are still being prepared so the department could not say which properties will be affected by the new alignment. But, he said, the new alignment will go through open land. Final Decison Awaited The spokesman said more precise information will be available when there is a final decision on the southern terminus of the freeway.

That decision is still subject to an agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads. The spokesman said the extra cost of changing the alignment will be "negligible" because engineering plans were not far enough along to cause the scrapping of expensive work. He said only "a minor amount of engineering work" must be revised. The eight new homes, estimated to be worth $200,000, were built after the original alignment was set.

The Highway Department was criticized for failing to acquire the property even though it had been notified by the Monmouth County Planning Board that the homes were planned. Home-Buyers Complain The home-buyers complained that they did not know they were buying property on the Freeway alignment. The Highway Department See FREEWAY Tage 2 Study of Sites May Hold Up School Talks ASBURY PARK A conference between the Board of Education and the City Council, scheduled for tomorrow to discuss the proposed Sunset avenue intermediate school, may be postponed. The meeting may be delayed pending results of an evaluation of alternate sites for the school by the state Department of Education. Edward Kilpatrick, assistant commissioner of education, and Dr.

Harry S. Hill, superintendent of schools, toured the sites yesterday. Dr. Hill declined to identify the sites until the Council and the Board meet. Decision Due Today A decision will be made today by school and city officials about postponing tomorrow's meeting.

The City Council asked Dr. Hill to arrange for the evaluation of alternate sites. The Asbury Park Taxpayers' Association and many residents are opposed to building a $2.7 million intermediate school across the street from the Asbury Park high school on Sunset avenue. The Council and the Board met last Thursday after the Council, by a 3-2 vote, refused to introduce an ordinance authorizing a bond issue to pay for the school. Ask More Study The dissenting Councilmen Joseph F.

Mattice, Frank H. Rowland, and Dr. Henry J. Vaccaro say new school facilities are needed but want further study to determine if the Sunset avenue proposal is the answer to the city's school problems. Dr.

Vaccaro is opposed to the See STUDY Page 3 Business Zone Curb Urged In Sea Girt SEA GIRT The Borough Council last night introduced an amendment to the zoning ordinance to decrease the size of the business district.
