Tokarz VV MbMAAAW llAX asked whether the borough could provide temporary park mg spaces for. the customers and clients of the affected concerns Borough Will Assist Mayor Kenneth D.

Schmidt noted that while the borough "is not financially responsible to keep two or three property owners in business," it would assist as much as it can leaglly do so. The mayor suggested that customers can use the bor ough parking lots behind and adjacent to the Municipal 'Building. Council President Wilbur Welsh urged that the rear lot on the rise behind the Municipal Building be used first as firemen need the other parking lot for emer gencies. Councilman John Pardue also suggested that the area in front of the Recreation Building, across Somerset could be used so long as the Rescue Squad driveway is not blocked. Traffic and beautification committee Secretary Francis P.

Ford declared that the council's projected parking survey "falls a little short of my hopes." FYvrri whn lircroH fhroo take the lead in developing the needed parking area, suggested that a solution be found with "a little more dis patch." Meeting Slated ii was determined tnat a meeting between Enander and the property owners con cerned will be held as soon as possible. One question to be decided is the feasibility of placing part of the parking area on the site of some sheds, owned by Arthur Walters, that are located between the brook and the rear of several of the businesses. Schmidt said, in reply to a Prison Farm Plaints Sifted Rahway WV-The board of managers of the Rahway State Prison Farm asked yesterday for a factual report by two prison officials on a number of grievances brought by inmates. The board received a letter signed by 18 inmates listing the complaints. The managers then asked Superintendent Warren Pinto and Principal complete report The complaints resulted in a boycott of one of the prison's meals last Thursday by almost the entire inmate pop ulation of 1,100, and a sick- call demonstration by about 700 on Monday Lloyd W.

McCorkle, state commissioner of institutions and agencies, attended the meeting. He said the board had decided "to have a con- tinuing discussion on the grievances, and was mam- taining complete objectiv- ity He said the report by Pinto and Yeager would be submit ted before the board's next scheduled meeting in Julv. The grievances reportedly deal with parole, pay scales, schooling, preparation for parole and meals. A racial ques tion was mvoivea in a com- plaint that some of the better skilled jobs in certain prison were not given to Ne- Igroes.
