Wilson, owners and operators of the boat works lo cated on Atlantic Avenue, yester day lost their last ditch bid to save their property. Monmouth County Judge Elvin R. Simmill yesterday dissolved a temporary restraint again! the Authority after ruling that there was no evidence that the Housing Authority bad acted illegally in the condemnation of the tract which is port of the proposed Shrewsbury Riverfront Redevelop ment prom. The Wilsons contended that the Authority was guilty of fraud in that the property was not to be used for housing, but rather to be turned over to the city for use as a park. The judge held that even though land disposition plans dated April, 1956, indicated that the property would be used as park, there was no proof that the city would accept Ralph S.

Heuser, Matawan, counsel for the Wilsons, contended the proposed method was illegal in that the city was attempting to do by this method whish provides for two-thirds Federal and one third municipal contribution, what it should have done independently and pay the entire cost. Heuser argued that people who pay Federal taxes should not be obligated to pay for a park for the City of Long Branch. Clarkson S. Fisher, Long Branch special counsel for the authority, cited a statute which provides that authorities may sell or make avail able to public agencies any land not needed by it.

MoClintock said today that a report on the first phase of the beachfront title investigation being conducted by city attorney Louis. R. Alkins should "be completed within two weeks.

This beach is one of three that caused the city some embarrassment earlier this year when title holders came forth and demanded concession i ts at their respective beaches.

Since that time the problem was temporarily corected by letting! concessions for the duration of mis year. The Mayor said the investiga tion is in the hands of an independent title search company. He said he didn't know which company it is, since the investigation is in Aikins' hands.
