Opposed to the Paramus Heeds Pleas Of Objectors From Maywood, Rochelle Park Paramus About 50 Maywood and Rochelle Park residents were present at the Board of Adjustment meeting last night to protest Welber Corporation's petition for a variance. A The Board denied the va- Avenue and the Maywood line, riance wnich was sought for Davis Hollander, attorney for land at the corner of Pleosant Welber, said that the corpora- fc? 1 Sssw I mmmAimzmmmi mm m-rj already owned by the Board, no further land purchases are required. School population was 991 this fall, an increase of 502 students since The expansion is expected to accommodate school population through 1975 when the system is expected to reach its peak of 1,200 students. During the public hearing on the referendum, Board members told residents' that all Board Slates Talks On Keen-Well Unit tion owns three lots at the location.

The zoning law restricts one of these lots to residential use, dividing the Welber property between two zones. Weiher proposed to build a warehouse and office building that would cover 21,000 square feet on the lot. A second story would make the total floor space 32,000 square feet. Hollander said that to build homes on the part of the land zoned lor residential use would be impractical, and that the best use of the land would be for light industry. He said the corporation plans would enhance property values in changing the face of the neighborhood.

Property owners from May-wood did not agree that property values would be enhanced by Welber's plans. Joseph Endrigo of Maywood said that his property would be only 7 to 14 feet from the Welber property. Officials present were Mayor Patrick Cirello and Frank Zarucha, chairman of the Planning Board, from Rochelle Park, and Councilman George Croonquist from Maywood. Zarucha said that Pleasant Avenue was inadequate for Welber use for egress of equipment, and he voiced concern that Pleasant Avenue traffic might infringe on Maywood. John J.

Corcoran, Board member, questioned Hollander. Corcoran said he could not find an adequate explanation of the type of business, number of employees, and amount of trucking involved in the Welber plans. speaking for the (Continued on C-2, Column 5) for a Health Officer who would cost the Borough $500 a year and supervise the baby station and other health activities of the Borough.

CALL FOR NEW Won't Risk Possibility Of Another Defeat After Tuesday's A motion for a new referendum on an elementary school in the Consolidated School District, which serves Westwood and Washington Township, was defeated last night when two of the six District Board trustees who had previously advocated such a referendum, failed to give it their approval. The reversal came as an aftermath of Tuesday's defeat of the referendum for a new school and re-gionalization in the District. Trustee Bernard M. Levy said last night that the Board should have another ballot on the school proposal alone in early December in an effort to avoid split sessions.

The vote on Levy's motion was 4 to 5 the five trustees from Westwood voting against the proposal, all except one stating that it was too soon after the defeat to risk losing another referendum. Tuesday, the Board's combination proposition for a new elementary school and regional-ization on a per-pupil method of apportioning school taxes was defeated. Although Westwood voters approved the question 1.616 to 131, Washington Township voters rejected it 1,200 to 835. A yes majority is required in each of the member towns. Last night's meeting was unexpectedly quiet at first, while about five district residents asked questions or made subdued statements about the defeated propositions and other education topics.

It became heated, however, when a question was raised about conflict of interest, with particular reference to a board member whose spouse is a member of the Washington Township governing body. Although no names were mentioned, Levy said that he considered the asking of the question as character assassination. Trustee Nathan Richmond said that there was no conflict of interest involved in the way the question was stated.

SCHOOLVOTING Miss Hilbrandt Cited As Aviation Leader Emerson The Board of Health resolved last night to meet with State and County health officials next month to hear their views on the establishment of a baby keep-well station proposed by Borough residents last month. Dr. Jane Erganian, a pediatrician working for the State, will deal with the operation of the station, one possibility for a service office under the supervision of a nurse the Board is considering.

Miss Hilbrandt said she has the satisfaction of knowing that many of the ex-servicemen she instructed have gone on to become commercial pilots. In 1960, sponsored by Bendix (Continued on C-2, Column 4) referendum were 166 voters. The opposition to the proposed addition had been primarily directed at the problems of safety around the existing and proposed buildings. Some residents had asked that the referendum be postponed until the State acted on road improvements to provide safe access at both Dorchester and Woodcliff Schools. The bond issue provides funds for the addition, the purchase of school furniture, alterations in the existing building, and improvement of the existing site.

In its brochure asking a favorable vote, the Board of Education noted that the school had too many children for too few classrooms. The existing school is a 1-story building. The lower floor of the 2-slory addition would add five standard an art room, a Board secretary office, a gymnasium which' can Jbe divided for boys' and girls' physical education programs, boys' and girls' lavatories audi locker rooms, and. two maintenance and equipment rooms. According to the Board, the two equipment and maintenance rooms can be converted to classrooms.

The upper floor of the addition will provide 11 standard classrooms, a library, an expanded cafeteria, and a music room.

The Mayor cited a State statute calling for police promotions on the basis of seniority. Maurer said last night that he cannot pay Walsh a lieutenant's salary until the promotion is legal in the Borough Attorney's opinion. "I am the chief fiduciary officer of the Borough and I am prohibited from spending taxpayers' money illegally," he said. "If I should ignore the legal advice of the Borough Attorney." Maurer added, "I could be liable to court action for misuse of Borough funds. Anv taxpayer in the Borough could bring legal action against me including those Councilmen who voted for the promotion.

Ironically," he added, "even Mavor Costello who initiated the improper action could charge me with malfeasance in office." Maurer said.

Casale said the family should also set up an evacuation plan to be used in the event of a fire and establish an assembly point outside their home. The family fire prevention work should only take several minutes, leaving plenty of time to be at the firehouse by 3 P. he said. Families having any problems or questions about their home's safety should present them to firemen, he added. "The firemen, all volunteers, who put in endless hours every year, only ask for a few hours of residents' co-opration," Casales said.

"They'll have the chance to see our new fire truck and the other equipment at our disposal." "We have the feeling that residents take warnings and suggested precautions too lightly," he said.

LTJ fTnr Vol I Emerson Policeman Thomas Walsh, a sergeant or lieutenant depending upon which Councilman you ask, is still drawing sergeant's pay despite his appointment as lieutenant July 12 and the 4-3 Council vote to confirm his promotion. Councilman George Maurer, finance commissioner, has said that he could not and would pay Walsh as a lieutenant because of the Borough Attorney's opinion that making the promotion retroactive to July 12 might be illegal. The attorney. Kenneth For-nabai. said that in his opinion, disputed by Mayor John G.

Walsh said yesterday that he is confident that eventually the controversy will be resolved and he will get paid as a lieutenant as of July. He declined corn- ment on how this will be brought about.
