THE RARITAN VALLEY'S LEADING NEWSPAPER The Daily Home New MIDDLESEX COUNTY COMMUNITY NEWS NEW BRUNSWICK, N. THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 22, 1960. 21 Protection i 5 It 11 US I 1 f'-- i i I N. I I- 'I 4 we've got," Popowski The council was asked by Richard Kurczeski, 355 Main why the Board of Health had not reported on a proposed inspection of the Aglita division of the Sayre and Fisher Co. "Must I wait until my wife and child are overcome by fumes," Kurczeski asked, "before you take action?" Popowski said that he did not know why the Board of Health did not report as promised as the last council meeting but that the matter would be investigated.

Approved on first reading was a resolution creating an industrial development commission to consist of seven members. Joseph Bellan, president of the Sayreville Taxpayers Improvement Association, said that his group fully en dorsed the measure. Questions Request Later Bellan questioned a request for a $2, 052.15 emergency appropriation for the changeover of police radio bands to conform with new federal regulations. Bellan asked how much of $20,000 "other expenses" item in the police budget remained. After Joseph J.

Weber, borough treasurer, said that about $14,000 of the item had been disbursed. Councilman Edward Fielek criticized Boehm's request and said an emergency appropriation was not needed. Fielek also said the work "should have been done four or five months ago." Later, Fielek and Councilman Raymond Presnal voted "no" on the appropriation resolution. The measure was approved 3-2 with "yes" votes from Councilman Alfred W. Schussler, J.

Howard Kolb and Boehm. Councilman Joseph. Ziemba passed. tempted to discuss the matter with Wall but could not contact him. Replying to a question by Farrell, Boehm said he could not "guarantee" adequate police protection during school hours because of the possibility of other duties for the three or four patrolman on daytime shifts.

"There are certain instances when patrolmen may be called," Popowski said to Boehm, "but not 365 days a year. It behooves the police department to set up a program." Boehm said a county road, Washington Road, was involved. Popowski answered, "But it is our responsibility to patrol the road." He continued, "The duty of the police department is to give protection. We have the police orce." Charles J. Sommers of 41 Wilson chair-nan of the borough's safety co-ordinating committee, disagreed with Popowski.

Sommers said, "Ninety per cent of the residents would say that that the polilce force is inadequatte." Farrell declared, "police aren't doing their job or we would get damn better protection." CD Volunteers Popowski said that "over 100" Civilian Defense volunteers were available to augment the police force if needed. "The argument that we don't have enough police," he said, "is a silly one. We should have a program." Boehm mentioned a proposed juvenile aid bureau, later approved in preliminary form by the council, and Popowski suggested that the juvenile aid program be set up before policemen are assigned to a bureau. "We ought to get our money's worth out of the police department that signs in the road near the school and regular operation of a traffic light at the school 24 hours a day. A police officer, perhaps a special officer, will also be assigned to the area during business hours.

Oppose Delay The council action followed an extended and often interrupted discussion touched off by a suggestion that requests for increased safety measures be referred to the police committee. William Farrell, 18 Harrison Place, took the floor. "We would like to see more action than just referring this to the police committee. We have no police protection. The child hurt yesterday may not live and we still don't have any cops on Washington Road." Farrell referred to an accident in which Randy Popowski, 6-year-old nephew of the mayor, was struck by a car near Robin Place and Washington Road.

The boy remained in "critical" condition last night at Perth Amboy General Hospital. Farrell said that he observed a borough fire truck "going 50-55 m.p.h. and a police car going 70 m.p.h. on Washington Road." Mrs. Mary Hinners of 20 Harrison Place said, "We can't even cross the street.

It is a dangerous spot and deserves a traffic light." Popowski reminded those present that the state suggested that the present light be installed at the school and not at Harrison Place or Robin Place as requested by the borough several years ago. Couldn't Reach Him Councilman Harold Boehm, police committee chairman, said that the light at the school was in an "obsolete" position. He said that he at SAYREVILLE The borough's police department drew fire from two directions during last night's Borough Council session as angry President Park residents demanded improved traffic safety measures on Washington Road near the Emma Arleth School. Many of the 25 aroused residents who attended asked for increased police protection and Mayor Anthony J. Popowski suggested that borough police could work a little harder to provide such protection.

Popowski suggested that the "full police force be put on alert and get after violators" and that an overall traffic program be started. Series of Mishaps His suggestions and the criticism by President Park parents followed the latest in a series of accidents near the school. "If we get a reputation for being tough," Popowswi said before the council passed several safety measures, "all of us as citizens will be better off." He referred to police enforcement programs such as Milltown's as models for a local program. To a suggestion by some speakers that the local police force was "inadequate," Popowski said, "We have patrolmen working for six months without issuing a single ticket it is adequate if they do their job." After shouts of "Let's do something about it now" rang out during the disorderly debate, the council approved four traffic safety resolutions. Recommended was a meeting with Cornelius Wall, county traffic coordinator, to discuss additional traffic lights at the Harrison Place and Robin Place at Washington Road intersection.

Also approved was placement of warning Hazard Ed ng Board rses Action on ison i lanm ONE GRAND VISIT Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Whyland grtet Charles Mickett right, Republican, East Brunswick Township Committee candidate. The Whylands' was the home that Mickett has visited in his campaign. Townships No.

1 Visitor EAST BRUNSWICK-Republican Charles Mickett who started a house-to-house campaign last June in a bid for votes as Township Committee candidate, hit the 1,000 mark last night. The Joseph H. Whyland home at 80 Farms Road Circle, High-view Acres, was the home that Mickett visited and he intends to raise the figure to 1,500 before the Nov. 8 general election. 27 Per Night Mickett figures that he has been averaging 27 homes per night on an average of 4'i nights per week, having taken two weeks out during vacation and one week for his participation in the township centennial celebration pageant.

The candidate has covered homes in eight of the 13 election districts and says that by going to the various districts he feels he can discuss problems and "better qualify myself to serve, if I am elected." In one of each 18 homes, he reports, the residents ask me, "How, when and where they may register?" The candidate says that he has been received courteously by the residents. He informs them that his running mate is Luther La Rue. EDISON A potential truck haz-: Happy Day General Trucking protested that the trucks would to build a warehouse, adding Jack W.

The group, invited by Barnes last week after Yelencsics requested a meeting with Postmaster General Arthur E. Summertield, was expected to propose that postal service could be handled by the three postal facilities within the township, Edison Post Oflice, the Menlo Park Post Office, and the Nixon Branch of the Edison Post Office. These are currently using as little as 30 per cent of the space in their buildings, the delegation will say.

Started in 19S4 The drive for a central post office started six years ago, when petitions were circulated to establish an independent, central post office. The late James C. Forgione, then mayor, protested to the federal Post Office Department the "carving up" of the township's population areas to be served bv out-of-town post offices. The establishment two years ago of the Edison Post Office, on Route 27, in effect replaced the former Stelton Post Office with a new name and building. It currently serves about one-tenth of the township's population.

EDISON A township delegation headed for Washington. D. C. today determined to bring about improved local postal service. The group of lour were to meet with B.

Making thc trip by plane from Newark were Mayor Anthony M. Yelencsics. Township Clerk Oscar Kaus, and Mr.

and Mrs. Charles Wira, who have been active in the movement for a central post office. Strong Appeal Thc mayor and Mrs. Wira said they would make a strong appeal to the federal postal official. I The group will tke with them 6(H) signatures obtained from residents now served by the Highland Park Post Office who ask that they come under Edison Post Office jurisdiction.

They will also take some 2,000 signatures obtained largely through efforts of thc Menlo Park Civic Association asking that delivery service be i provided by the Menlo Park Post Office. Some residents stores in the Menlo Park Shopping THEY MAY HELP i i a fence between school property and the adjoining driveway to the municipal building. In the only other action at the meeting, the board turned over offer from the Munn Construction Co. of South Amboy to in Li 1 i-a n-is i i stall basketball backboards at the price of $28 to the building and grounds committee. The firm agreed to install the units for the price quoted provided all materials were furnished by the School Isysters.
