An ordinance was introduced last night to create a five-member board. The present three-member board has been in existence for several years but was not created by ordinance. Also introduced was an ordinance amendment to establish the board as the body to hold hearings on propetries which are thought to be dangerous or unfit for habitation. The secretary of the Board of Tax Assessors had been the designated hearing officer but Raymond Eick resigned the position last year after a court decision declared him ineligible for the job because he no longer lived in the township.

He has not been replaced because there are no persons in the township meeting the state qualifications for a member of the Board of Assessors. Public hearings on both ordinances are scheduled for March 6.

Cunningham and Mr. Van Duyn had been advised by their lawyers, not to appear at the Friday hearing. "I told him on the telephone and I followed it up with a letter," the lawyer said.

Big Mix-Up In Little Egg Is Resolved LITTLE EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP William White, county superintendent of schools, is expected to name someone to serve one year of a two-year unexpired term on the Board of Education to clear up confusion caused by annual school elections this year and last. At this year's election Feb. 8, Richard Leitz, William Mott and Robert Beloff were declared winners in the Board race, defeating three other candidates for full three-year terms.

It was then realized three persons could not all be running for full terms on a five-member Board. A check of the records revealed that Mr. Leitz, instead of being elected to a one-year unexpired term last year, actually was elected to a full term. Thus, because there were actually only two three-year terms to be filled, the third highest vote-getter, Mr. Beloff, thought to be a winner Feb.

8, became a loser. Mr. Leitz and Mr. Mott were sworn in as Board members last week. This leaves a two-year unexpired term.

The person appointed to the Board by Mr. White will serve until the school election next February at which time the voters will have to fill a one-year unexpired term. When the Board organized last week, Richard F. Chlova-rou was elected president to succeed Edward L. Macmas-ter, who did not seek re-election.

Mr. Leitz was elected vice president.
