Frank Guadagnino, a member of the 11-man, multipartisan group, charged last night that the study in general, and the report in particular, failed because Republicans opposed and Democrats could take no credit for the program indicated. Guadagnino is vice-president of the Independent Club, whose report of last year recommending municipalization of scavenger service spurred the formation of the committee on February. Republicans opposed municipalization, a prime target of the study, from the beginning, Rain soaked the Pascack Valley last night, but Independence Day community events were luckily scheduled around it or were portable enough to be brought under cover.

By MARTIN BAROLSKY Staff Writer Why and how much do Washington Township officials and residents want to reopen Interchange 166 of the Garden State Parkway south of the town line in Paramus? Though the question may not figure in talks scheduled for today between Parkway-Director D. Louis Tonti and Paramus officials, it may come into question before the decision on closing or opening the interchange is finally made. Paramus officials strongly oppose reopening the interchange, which was closed in February. The northbound the reopening.

Township officials have asked that the interchange be reopened for use of residents and so Fire Department vehicles could reach the northbound lane easily. Fire engines must now enter the Parkway's southbound lane at Washington Avenue and travel south to Interchange 165 to reach the northbound lane. But according to Fire Chief Fred Graves his force has not yet felt the incovenience. There have been no brush or car fires on the Parkway's northbound lane in the Township this year, he said. Last year there was one car fire and a brush fire in the Pascack Vallev Barriers Deferred Graves said he had asked Tonti for a U-turn slot on the Parkway, or for barriers on the Interchange 166 ramps which his trucks could crash through.

The request was deferred, he said, when officials learned that the interchange was scheduled for reopening May 26. That reopening was blocked by the opposition of Paramus officials. Graves said he may ask again for breakaway barriers or a U-turn slot if the closing is made permanent. Chief Reporter: Alice Olick. Reporters: Mrs.
