18 THE DAILY HOME NEWS KEW BRUNSWICK. N.J.. WEDNESDAY. MAY S. 1965 2)eer Action on Outside Appraiser 23 To Picked Serve on MP-WW 3 inspector from another municipality to inspect construction by Buliding Inspector Joseph Gerechka as a new policy, which he hoped would be applied to other borough officials.

The mayor explained that Gerechka had been told by the old Building Committee last jear and the building board this year to obtain the services of another inspector for his building, but had failed to do so. Von Saltza added, "I don't think this is a new policy. It'i generally the policy of the borough to avoid all conflicts of interest of borough officials when practical to do so." ft S. I -Will if l7 He explained that the auditor checked the tax collector's books and outside firms were called in at various times to revalue property, the assessor's domain, while officers such as the sani MILLSTONE Council last night decided to defer action on obtaining an outside appraiser in six tax appeal cases until the matter could be discussed with assssor Alexander Felice, one of the appellant. Borough attorney Robert E.

Gaynor reported that the state Division of Tax Appeals recommended the appraisal because of the lack of expert opinion and the nature of the appeals from findings of the county Board of Taxation. Gaynor explained that one appeal involved Felice, proprietor of the Millstone Tavern, while another involved a complaint by one citizen against another. Mayor's Complaint Mrs. Joseph Krowski explained that the complaint was by former Mayor Oscar W. Schilke on the assessment of her property, noting that the borough would have to spend money for the appraisal.

William Daw recommended a neighboring assessor be called in, but Councilman Thomas Fousty said he'd prefer a "complete stranger" to do the job, adding, "I'd like Felice to be here before any action." Mayor Malcolm Von Saltza said the council should consider whether the entire borough should be revalued, noting that the last such revaluation was about five years ago. Von Saltza reported that a revision of the local zoning ordinance, which was prepared by the Planning Board, was not ready for introduction, but copies would be circulated among governing body members before the June council meeting. The mayor explained that included would be an industrial zone west of Main Street, a section lor Green Acres, a historical zone with a historical zoning commission ruling on building and alterations in it, and two-acre residential development for most of the rest of the community with allowances for density zoning. Under this arrangement, homes could be built on smaller lots in developments, but the total number of lots would be the same as under two-acre requirements. Irving Weininger, builder of Colonial Village, asked about permission to reduce the 30-foot side yard requirements on some of his properties, but increasing the yards on the other sides in order to provide for two-car garages.

Gaynor advised appealing to the Zoning Board of Adjustment on the question. 12 Violations Kenneth Thomas, chairman of the Board of Building Appeals, noted that there were 12 violations on lots in the subdivision. Grand Jury SOMERVILLES With Superior Court Judge Frank J. Kingfield presiding, 23 persons were drawn yesterday to serve on the Grand Jury for the next four months. Kingfield named Ernest Aita of Montgomery, a manger with the American Standard Company, foreman, and Mrs.

Mary H. Griggs of Franklin Township, a housewife, as deputy foreman. Assistant Atty. Gen. Evan Jahos, in charge of the prosecutor's office, said the jury would sit yesterday aftternoon, tomorrow and possibly one day next week to consider current cases.

Bruno Zorzi, another chairman of the dance committee. Plans for Spring Dance Completed tary inspector did not live in the municipality, and, therefore, would not be inspecting their work. Von Saltza said there was a difference between elected and appointed officials, saying the council had even more responsibility for persons it appointed. Replyqing to a question by Fousty, Von Saltza said Andrew Fetko, Manville's building inspector, had inspected Gerechka's two-family bupilding and issued an occupancy permit for the half that was completed. Explaining a conference following last month's council meeting, Von Saltza said it had been requested by Dawson about one-half hour before the meeting about the relations between the -zoning board and building board.

Special reference was made to the residence of Dr. Francis Boucher, for whom a temporary occupancy permit was approved by the building committee last year despite a lack of sufficient floor area, which was to be corrected. Said An Error Von Saltza, who was a member of that committee, admitted that it had erred in unanimously approving the permit since the matter should have been brought before the Board of Adjustment. He also said it would have been better had the conference been open to the public. Robert Patrick, who brought the matter up at a Board of Health meeting, explained that he was concerned about board chairmen speaking for their bodies without discussing the prob- lems with their respective groups.

Thomas, Von Saltza and Councilman Martha Hubbard agreed, i but Mrs. Hubbard noted the point could have been made without bringing the other boards into it. Von Saltza noted that Thomas had been called back to tha conference and had taken little part in the discussion. The council agreed to invite Sheriff George Gurisic, Manvilla Police Chief Andrew Shutack and Hillsborough Police Chief Ar- tbur Stoveken to a conference on borough police problems. Po-1 lice Chief Wesley A.

WATCHUNG William F. Preston, engineer. Prosecutor Pay Is Questioned By Freeholder SOMERVILLE The use of a state deputy attorney general to head the prosecutor's office here yesterday raised a question by Freeholder William W. Lani-gan as to whether he is to receive a double salary one from the state and the other from the county. Lanigan raised the question during a Board of Freeholders meeting.

He pointed out that the resignation of Prosecutor Arthur S. Meredith on April 22 resulted in Evan Jahos, deputy attorney general, being assigned by Atty. Gen. Arthur Sills to the office here. In so doing, Sills stated that he himself would be in direct control of the office.

The question came up when the board, passed a resolution approving meeting the payroll and other county expenses. The board referred the question to County Counsel James I. Bowers for study and opinion and conditionally approved paying Jahos. MRS. LOWELL GOOD were tabled for further study.

O. E. Lewis and Sons of Latobertville were awarded a contract for $1,800 to grade the athletic field and the parking area. They were also given a contract to supply stone for the area.

He noted that when the building addition opens in the fall, all pupils will be housed in the present Montgomery School with the addition with the exception of the third grade pupils who will be in the Harlingen School, one of the out- lying schools now in use by the Board.

MONTGOMERY Children born between Oct. 16 and Dec. 16 capable of doing kindergarten work will be enrolled in kindergarten, according to a policy change approved by the Board of Education on Monday night. Present policy called for children to be admitted to kindergarten only if their fifth birthdays occur on or before Oct. 15 of the school year.

Under the new program, parents of children with before Dec. 16 will be advised that these children can be tested to determine their readiness for kindergarten. Children who pass will be admitted. The tests will be given during the Summer. According to the present program, tests are given children whose sixth birthday falls between Oct.

16 and Dec. 16 to determine readiness for first-grade work. That procedure has enabled some children to bypass kindergarten, which has a program considered valuable by the school administration. This testing will continue. Contracts Let Several contracts were let for supplies for the coming year which included No.

He explained that the use did not make the section of Route 22 more hazardous, calling the biggest traffic hazard in the area a state truck weighing station.

Eck thought the sign was too large. In a case involving interpretation of the zoning ordinance, the board ruled unanimously that a sign for Loft Pedegreed Seed at Chimney Rock and Foothill Roads could be on the side of the building, providing that the total area of all signs on the structum does not exceed 15 per cent of the front wall, as specified in the ordinance. Building Inspector Bernard A. Jann explained he had issued a violation notice because of the sign and its location. William B.

John Calhoun of LOW OVERHEAD LOW PRICES fjj 0 BRIDGEWATER Two sign applications were approved but three other variance requests were denied by the Zoning Board of Adjustment last night. Amang the denials was a request by Pasquale Zaggara of DuneOen for a mobile refreshment stand for sale of food and beverages at Route 22 and 3rd Street, a light industrial zone. On questioning by his attorney, Walter Romer of Dunellen, Zaggara said the eight-foot-by-20-foot truck would be on a lot 100 feet by 100 feet, surrounded by vacant land. No permanent structure was planned so that the property could later be sold and joined to adjacent land. Elwood Heller, owner of adjacent property spoke against-the proposal saying it would upset the zone plan and would create a traffic hazard.

Unanimous The resolution for denial by Richard C. Evans and George Esposito was adopted unanimously. Evans dissented in a 4-1 vote denying a variance to U.S. Home and Development Melvin Konwiser, president, to permit three parcels in Shadow Oaks South, a minimum residential zone, to conform to the standards of a zone. Konwiser, explained that 17 other homes in the development were built on parcels under a 1960 subdivision.

The section has public sewer and water facilities. In his dissent, Evans said that he feared the property would remain vacant, thereby affecting the homes already built. Voting for denial were Chairman Irving Putter, Anthony D'Onofrio, John Eck and Esposito. The third denial was a unanimous vote on a request by Victor Milewski for a dwelling on four acres at Vanderveer and Milltown Roads, a light industrial zone. D'Onofrio and Esposito were afraid of spot zoning by granting, while Putter said the proper way for Milewski to obtain permission was through a zoning ordinance amendment.

Evans and D'Onofrio thought approval would result in more such development in the area. Vote Is 4-1 Eck dissented in a 4-1 vote recommending approval to the Township Committee of two free-standing signs for Andrew Matey of the Amber Bar and Grill at Route 22 and Adamsville Road. Esposito said that if the township permitted the business at that location it should permit things, such as signs, thawent pppip HEADBOARD Lf 11 AND LEGS With Twin Size Box Spring and Mattress Set from $24.50 and up Hf ir Small deposit will hold any sale item until wanted Free Delivery Free Storage.
