CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING IN THIS -X C-CTION MJ 1 ML DAILY NEWS, Wednesday, July 20, 1983 r. fffitaw. on IRT Una The Transit Authority has set Aug. 29 for the beginning of its "skip-stop" train plan on the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line of the IRT, it was announced yesterday. Under the plan, four stations all north of W.

116th St will be skipped. To pick up the slack from the No. 1, a new No. 9 train is being added, but it also will skip somestops. The stops on the No.

1 train that will be skipped are 225th, 207th, 157th, and 125th Streets. The 9 will skip 238th, 215th, Dyckman, 181st and 145th Streets. The move is being made to speed up service from upper Manhattan and the Bronx. "There will be less door-opening and closing, and we estimate that we can save 30 seconds at each stop," Bob Previdi, a spokesman for the Transit Authority, said. Previdi said that advertisements telling about the changes would be ready for passengers in another two weeks.

But the plan is encountering opposition from Washington Heights residents and officials. Last Saturday, for example, 200 people complained at a meeting on W. 157th St about the inconvenience the changes would impose. The group, led by Maria Luna, the chairman of Community Board 12 in Washington Heights, has called on officials and political leaders to urge changes in the plan. Luna said the plan, for example, "ignores the fact that many passengers use the W.

157th St Station as a transfer point for buses going to the Bronx." James Berlin, a member of the board, said that the "skip-stop" does not take into consideration that W. 181st St. is a heavily traveled area for for shoppers and students at Yeshiva University. According to the TA, the proposed plan "will speed up travel times for almost half of the riders north of 96th with both faster running times and shorter waiting times." It reported that with stops skipped, the average wait will go from three minutes to four, "but will be offset by faster running times." Keith Moore end because our lease had expired." Tell It to the judge! "The officer didn't want to hear any excuses," Palmer said. East Orange Clerk Earl Williams says the law on the books since 1949 was intended to prevent thefts by burglars posing as movers, and to prevent delinquent tenants from skipping out on landlords.

"Everyone has heard of incidents of people backing a truck up to a house and cleaning out the place," Williams said. If she had been confronted by the cop on a weekday, rather than a Saturday, Palmer admits, she would have quickly obtained the permit In fact, even after she got the ticket, she was inclined to pay it, thinking it would involve only a nominal fine. All that changed, however, when she consulted a lawyer, upset "because I had never gotten a summons before," Palmer explained. The lawyer Palmer consulted referred her to the New Jersey branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, which is helping her challenge the law's Constitutionality. Last Thursday, Palmer and her ACLU-appointed lawyer, Marianne Tolomeo, appeared before a Judge in East Orange Municipal Court Judge and challenged the ordinance as an un-Constitutional violation of privacy and travel rights.

Judge Ernest Booker postponed the case until next month to give lawyers for both sides time to file briefs. In order to obtain a permit, a citizen must file a form listing old and new addresses, the date of the move, and how the applicant's property will be transported. The application becomes a public document. Tolomeo says the public listing of an applicant's future address is an invasion of privacy. By DAVID HARDY Daily Newt Staff Wnwr City officials in East Orange, N.J., say it's the law.

Lenna Palmer says it's a nightmare. Palmer's lawyer says the law is un-Constitu-tional. In its wisdom, the city requires people moving in or out of town to obtain a permit, and violators are subject to a $500 fine and 90 days in the slammer if they don't pay the $2. The ordinance was news to Palmer, a child-care worker and mother of two, who was moving out May 28, when a cop told her she had to stop because she didn't have a permit "Half our things were already loaded on the truck and the rest was still on the front porch," she said. "The policeman said either I had to stop moving or he'd have to give me a ticket.

I told him I had never heard of the law. And then I told him I was poor and a single parent and that I had to move that week PSNs iy LTIV fv- boarder-baby services.
