2.1 B-2 FINAL THE RECORD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1981 BERGEN'PASSAICHUDSON COUNTIES, NEW JERSEY loivn Our Street $50M farm bond issue going on ballot FROM PAGE B-l 'American Jews Are We Counties could also elect to buy easements from farmers to preserve the land or could establish local projects to require developers to buy the development rights to a given amount of farmland in return for the rights to build on another parcel within the community. Van Zandt said the program would also allow bond issue funds to be used on soil and water conservation projects that would preserve farmland. Under the agricultural district option, Van Zandt said, in return for placing their farms in an agricultural district, farmers would get concessions from local government One, Van Zandt said, would be a guarantee of the right to farm, which would protect farmers from harassment from neighbors who object to the sights, sounds, and particularly the smells of farming. A final bill, which is not expected to be considered until next year, would propose a constitutional amendment to grant farmers an eight-year moratorium on property taxes on new farm buildings. Farmers receive preferential tax rates on farmland, but pay full rates on their buildings.

Taxes on farmland in New Jersey are the third highest in the nation. By employing a variety of options, Van Zandt said, the state is hoping to avoid charges that it is interfering with home rule. "The biggest thing the farmers have said the state needs is a commitment to agriculture," Van Zandt said. "This would indicate that there is a commitment. It's not a give-away program, but it is the first indication that the people of the state are willing to do something to support agriculture." the preservation effort and county agricultural development boards to establish local policy.

As envisioned by the Department of Agriculture, local development boards could elect to preserve farmland by establishing voluntary agricultural districts in which only farming would be allowed for a specific period of time, most likely eight years, Van Zandt said. Iff Dr. Sacber Kurzweil ti 1 Jumper leaps into new role FROM PAGE B-l Jacobs was a student at Eastside High School in Paterson, and De Falco became something of a mentor to the blossoming athlete, encouraging him to get involved in track and field to obtain a college scholarship. "The whole key to youth is working with other people," Jacobs said, noting that a city such as Paterson is filled with remarkable young athletes who lack only discipline and maturity. Jacobs was reluctant to disclose his salary, but he will be working with a youth-services budget of about 175,000, according to the Y's general director, John Crichton.

Said Crichton: "We felt he was ideal for the position." Dressed in a bright yellow T-shirt and blue gym shorts, Jacobs seemed to be enjoying himself. An affable man, he acknowledged that "if I could maintain rny personality and my honesty, I'd consider but for the time being, "it's my first priority to be here." If Jacobs can run youth programs the way he jumps, he is in for considerable' success. At East Side High School, he fire of suspicious origin destroyed the clubhouse, and Weingarten and Reid picked up the option to buy it contingent on receiving subdivision approval: Both municipalities considered purchasing the property for parkland and filed preliminary applications for Green Acres funds to buy it, but they could not get together on a plan of action. After 128 homes planned for club land 'Bus Card' trims fares started out playing basketball, but soon became a jumper because of his extraordinary leaping ability, which he says runs in his family. In 1978, he set a world indoor high-.

jump mark at the Millrose Games in Madison Square Garden, where he reached his high of 7 feet, 7V4 inches, a record that was subsequently broken. Jacobs says that, despite his new job, his jumping days are far from over. And he denies that he is past his peak. "I haven't been jumping much now, I will jump in the fall," he said, insisting that "the best is yet to come." planning board studies, lengthy council debates, and a heated public meeting, voters in Leonia indicated by a 200-vote margin in a 1979 referendum that they preferred developing the land to buying it. Englewood officials backed off the purchase after deciding they would prefer to have the land as income-producing property.

A total of $200,000 will be. spent to advertise the card in newspapers and business magazines, and NJ Transit officials say they are also talking to individual businesses about selling the cards at work and possibly subsidizing them for their employees. They say that the major problem has been finding retail outlets willing to sell the passes to the public, with only 20 outlets signed up to date throughout the state. "It's a difficult time to be asking retailers who are feeling an economic pinch to have their tellers take on another function," said Bond. "But it makes'; sense to retailers because it will increase their traffic." relaxes rent The measure also decontrols rents for new tenants in all five-, six-, and seven-unit buildings.

In buildings with eight or more units, rent controls remain in effect, except when a tenant moves. Once a tenant Testimony ends The Associated Press JERSEY CITY Television newscaster Jane Hanson and her former live-in boyfriend, who is suing her for ownership of a luxury condominum, were cross-examined in state Superior Court yesterday on the final day of testimony. Gregg Glenn, a 31-year-old car salesman, is suing Miss Hanson, a newscaster for WNBC-TV in New York, for ownership of a condominium at the Harmon Cove complex in Secaucus. Glenn asserts that while the two lived there, he paid the bills even though Miss Hanson earned a much higher salary. Superior Court Judge Gregory Castano gave both sides in the suit until Sept.

Preferably, posters or ads would be for The committee also recommended that any time alcohol is served at a university function, nonalcoholic beverages and food also should be served. Currently, there are instances when people have to leave a party or function to get a soft drink, the spokeswoman said. In addition, she said, "They recom-mended that if you are having a social affair, that no more than 50 percent of the money spent on the affair can be spent on alcoholic beverages." Education plays a large role in the recommendations, which would require bartenders and managers in on-campus pubs, staff members, in deans' offices, student group leaders, and the university police to attend classes aimed at raising the level of awareness of alcohol-related problems and the university's policy con- cerning them. The committee also called for establishment of a program under which anyone connected with the university who has a drinking problem could get help.

The study committee consisted of 16 members drawn from specialists in student affairs, health, athletics, public safety, and the university's center of alcohol studies. One incident that helped prompt the study occurred last fall, when a Rutgers, student who had been drinking at a football game leapt off the grandstand of Rutgers Stadium in the mistaken belief that it was only a short distance to the ground.

Miss Hanson said her base salary of $40,000 a year was double Glenn's annual earnings. She said the disparity in incomes was the source of friction in their relationship. Glenn said he pushed aside his career to be with her as she traveled about the country pursuing jobs. The two met in Sioux Falls, S.D., in the summer of 1974. They lived together in Washington, D.C.; Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and then in Secaucus after she landed the New York job in 1979.

State boosts sales tax by 14 to raise $135M United Press International ALBANY A 14-percent boost in the New York State sales tax took effect today in New York City and seven surrounding counties.

The increase, affecting purchases over $2, will boost the tax in New York City to 8V4 percent. In Rockland and Orange counties, it will boost the tax 4.25 cents. The increase is expected to raise $135 million over 12 months to help subsidize the financially strapped Metropolitan Transportation Authority. It is the last tax to take effect of a five-part tax package voted in July to raise $792 million for the MTA over the next two years. New tax tables have gone out to 447,000 business establishments across the MTA region, which includes Dutchess, Nassau, Putnam, Suffolk, and Westchester counties.

The first collections are due Oct. 1. Under the change, every $4 in sales will bring in an extra penny in tax. For example, in New York and Yonkers, a $4 purchase would result in a 33-cent tax instead of the current 32-cent levy. Where the tax computes to a fraction, it is rounded off to the next penny if the fraction is one-half cent or more.

That is a routine tax practice, a Tax Department spokeswoman said. The higher tax will not be charged on transactions subject only to local sales and use tax. For example, home heating fuel and materials used in the production of goods for sale are exempt from state sales tax but subject to New York City tax. FROM PAGE B-l muters were using it within two years. Research indicated that 3 percent of the riders using it were new customers, he said, and that customers who bought passes began using mass transit more.

The idea was proposed last spring by Jerome C. Premo, executive director of NJ Transit, but its introduction was delayed. "Rather than tack it on to the fare increase introduced in July and have it get lost in the shuffle, we decided to introduce it later in its own right," said NJ Transit spokesman Guy Baehr. Jersey Gity The Associated Press JERSEY CITY The city council voted today to relax rent control restrictions after a heated 12-hour meeting in which landlords and tenants boisterously argued over the controversial measure. Newlyelected Mayor Gerald McCann called the council "courageous" for withstanding tenant pressures in backing a measure that he said would eventually curtail housing problems in the Hudson County city.

The disputed ordinance passed by a 7-2 vote. "Without this, all we can look forward to is the continued decline and abandonment of our housing stock," said McCann, a Democrat who supported President Reagan's election. The ordinance removes rent levels in newly constructed and substantially rehabilitated housing.
