James J. Florid, D-lst Disk, told a group of utility officials last nighb "Any company that violates public trust will find public animosity it cannot afford," Florio said, "What it (regulation) often is, is an economic blessing1 in disguise."

Plaxe said she expects to meet with Serota and Serota of Maplewood, owner of both complexes, within the next two weeks "to hopefully have a meeting of the minds." PARSIPPANY All but one of Parsippany's apartment complex landlords have signed a voluntary agreement with the township to limit rent increases during the year and to contribute to the legal defense of aggrieved tenants.

Rena Plaxe, executive director of the Property company go out of business. Doctors Daniel Schwartz, Joseph Ramieri and Robert Davis were negligent in failing to advise Mrs. Iradi to undergo a Cesarean operation when giving birth to Tricia in 1979, according to the lawsuit As a result, the baby's head was too large for the birth canal and became stuck during delivery, forcing a nurse to get on top of the delivery table and push the head out of the womb with great force, the Iradis charged. That action resulted in torn brain tissue and bleeding in the brain stem, which requires immediate surgical procedures, according to the suit. Tricia now suffers from a "cerebellar type" of cerebral palsy, according to doctors.

She can barely walk with the aid of a brace and speaks at the 2- to 3-year-old level. The fourth Morristown doctor initially charged in the lawsuit was dismissed from the case and not included in the settlement. By LAWRENCE RAGONESE Daily Record Staff Writer A 4-year-old Hanover Township girl yesterday receive! at least a $1 million settlement in a birth defects lawsuit filed in 1980 by her parents against four Morristown doctors. Tricia Iradi, 4, and her parents Kathryn and Thomas Iradi, of 262 Parsippany Road, Whippany, will get an immediate lump sum of 1175,000, according to the agreement approved by Superior Court Judge Arnold Stein in Morristown. Tricia, who suffered brain damage during her birth, will then receive a guaranteed $1,000 to 33,000 per month until age 20 plus various lump sums totaling $300,000 at various periods up to her 20th birthday.

After her 20th birthday, she will get $4,000 to $5,000 per month for life, meaning she could receive another $1.7 million if she lives to age 50. That sum, however, is not guaranteed should the doctor's insurance Parsippany may give Vreeland new job By LAWRENCE FLETCHER Daily Record Staff Writer Bernard Adler, owner of Beverwyck Gardens, was the landlord who signed the agreement most recently, Plaxe said. Adler agreed to most of the terms of the contract, but did not agree to join POMA and will reserve his right to appeal his property taxes this year. Adler was the 20th of 21 landlords to sign, which account for 23 of Parsippany's 25 apartment complexes. Plaxe said there are about 7,000 apart- ment units and some 10,000 tenants in the township.

Plaxe said most apartment owners approved the entire agreement, but some, such as the owners of Mount Pleasant Village apartments, signed the agreement but did join POMA. The agreement, effective to Dec. 31, 1984, was reached between the township and property owners following the demise of Parsippany's rent leveling ordinance in March 1983. However, the agreement could be rescinded by the new township council whose Democratic members vowed during the 1983 election campaign to reintroduce a rent leveling ordinance. The property owners agreed to limit rent increases to a range of 6 to 12 percent, forego their right to tax appeals, provide discounts to qualified senior citizens and contribute up to $1,000 to fight rent increases above those set forth in the agreement Plaxe, who will oversee the agreement for POMA, resigned her position as director of the township's Consumer Affairs Office on Jan.

With the compromise, Mueller remains and will be subordinate to Vreeland. The council is expected to introduce an ordinance that will take the Knoll out of the Department of Utilities, of which the sewer and water utilities are a part, and made its own department The move will then create a directorship which Vreeland is slated to fill.
