Mr. Summers told The Tran- ton, called by New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Philip Alampi to consider ways of promoting favorable literature about the recently introduced concurrent res olution asking for a constitution al amendment on farmland assessment, The concurrent resolution Introduced both bouses1 of the state Legislature March 18 provides that farmland of not less than Ave acres which has been in active use for two successive years shall be.

Mr. Duryee said that Monmouth County sees its part in the amendment as an attempt to-maintain "a 2 million industry in Monmouth County." Mr. Duryee said the propon ents of -this legislation are not particularly worried about those farmers who are about to sell to developers, but to insure that farmland in the state is not taxed for a purpose other than its actual use.

Mr. Duryee noted that under night recommended to Mayor" and Council the rezoninf of a two-acre tract between Henry and Spring Streets to permit the construction of 28 apartment units on three lots there fcfter Its-, builder, Lanza; and Scott struction Company, and the at-" torney, Harry agreed a reduction of four dwelling uiiitjai Kcsamnended Bo- bert E.
