Page 12 THE MONTCLAIR TIMES THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1981 Station Opens Monday (Continued from Page 1) "We're doing this to help the city make better use of the area," said Robert Keith, New Jersey Transit's director of electrification projects. Another reason for the switch, Mr. Keith said, was the need to use the tracks leading from the old station for equipment involved in the Morristown Line reelectification project. The project involves the conversion of the electric line from 3,000 volt direct current to 25,000 volt alternating current by 1982. A contractor responsible for building an electrical substation here will need to use the old tracks for his construction equipment, Mr.

Keith said. "Since we had to plan for the building of the substation, and we had to build the new train station anyway, we wanted to make this move now," Mr. Keith said. A parking lot, with space for 135 cars, is located directly across Bay Street from the station. The Township Council, at Tuesday night's conference meeting, discussed whether or not the lot should be metered or whether it should be used on a permit basis.

Township Manager Bert Kendall recommended that permit parking be retained but the Council must determine what fee to charge. The current parking permits, which expire June 1, will remain in effect until that date. Those annual permits were issued dat a charge of $42. It is almost a certainty that permits issued after June 1 will be higher. Funding for the new Montclair station is provided through state funds and federal matching funds known as Federal Aid Urban Systems money, Keith noted.

"That's highway money which can be used for things that don't seem like regular highway projects," Mr. Keith said. The federal share of the construction cost is 70 per cent, with the state paying 30 percent.

Member FSLIC President Water Policies (Continued from Page 1) Mayor Mochary said that water savings in Montclair "were not as substantial as they might be" and asked the Council for some ideas on how residents might voluntarily cut back. Mr.

Ramsey suggested strict usage monitoring through water bill checking and the use of fines for overusage. Mr. Kendall said that at the present time the present computerized billing system was "inadequate" and said that each bill would have to be checked individually. Mr. Ramsey and Councilwoman Patricia Koechlin thought that a printed notice should appear on water bills to notify customers that penalties would be handed down for overusage and warning them that bills would be checked.

An idea, implemented in some Morris County communities, to shut down the water system for two hours per-day to force compliance with the 25 percent reduction mandated by Governor Byrne, was rejected when Mr. Kendall explained that severe damage to the system could result and there was also a high degree of danger of contamination through sediment stirred up with the constant shutting down of the system. Mayor Mochary and Councilwoman Bobby Reilly suggested that posters be placed on all municipal vehicles urging residents to conserve. Mr. Kendall said that studies indicate that Porter Park, at Orange Road and Harrison Avenue, would be a good site for the Township's fourth well and suggested applying to the State for permission to drill.

"It would be expensive. about $25,000. to put in the casing," said Mr. Kendall. "It would cost approximately $200,000 1 to make it a producing well." Mr.

Kendall told the Council that he had supplied a mandatory emergency plan to the County and was compiling a complete list of private wells, swimming pools and commercial wells as possible sources of emergency water. He also said that he was going to write to the County government for permission to use Brookdale Pond in Brookdale Park for emergency water for fighting fires, Brookdale would join Edgemont and Yantacaw Brook Ponds as possible sources of water for filling fire engines. Mr. Kendall also noted that there was an old water interconnect with West Orange that could be revitalized. "We would have to rent a pump," he noted.

"'West Orange has Commonwealth Water Company and we could possibly get water that way if The Township may also purchase water restrictors and instruction cards to distribute to water customers. Mr. Kendall said that the cost would be approximately $1,000. Frederick and Cheri Dworkin urged the Council to amend the Township Ordinance to URSULA VAUGHAN WILLIAMS because of the popularity of the work, it is being offered again this year. The first of nine symphonies by Mr.

Vaughan Williams, it is mpw only one to employ a poetic text. The combination of words by the American poet Walt Whitman and music by the English composer combine to make a powerful musical statement that is invitingly philosophical.

Parvovirus Reported Several cases of confirmed canine parvovirus have been reported in the past two weeks by veterinarians throughout New Jersey, according to the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association. Parvovirus, a highlycontagious disease affecting dogs, had appeared to be subsided in the State during the Winter months after its initial heavy. outbreak last Summer. With new cases of the virus now being reported, the veterinary medical association said the need remains for dog owners to have their pets vaccinated or revaccinated.

Dog owners are advised to contact their veterinarian to set up an inoculation program for their pet. Assistance Board Meets March 11 The Local Assistance Board of the Montclair Bureau of Public Welfare will meet at 8:15 P.M. on March 11 at the Municipal Building, 205 Claremont Ave. read 12 consumption liquor licenses instead of 10. The Dworkins own Cheri's Restaurant on Valley Road and have hopes of obtaining a liquor license.

Mr. Dworkin told the Council that the issue "need not be of an explosive and added that the figure of 10 licenses had been at that point "for at least 30 years even though the census figures could have offered more." Mr. Dworkin said that additional licenses would provide more revenue to the community through license fees and additional business and added that if Cheri's Restaurant ever gained a license that "we have no intention of putting in a cocktail-type bar or becoming a package goods store." Mr. Kendall said that census figures show that "definitley two and possibly three" additional licenses could be provided for and added "the easy step is adding two more licenses but the tough part is who gets Mayor Mochary said that the item should be put on the Council agenda "after the budget is put to bed" which means sometime after March 17. The Mayor said that she had received a letter from County Executive Peter Shapiro asking for the Council's ideas on closing Brookdale Park to vehicular traffic on Sundays.

After discussion it was decided that it was a good idea but that provisions should be made for adequate parking of cars in the park and not on surrounding Township streets. It was also decided to hike the sewerage rates to 56 customers living in Little Falls and four living in Cedar Grove. All have been paying just $50 per year as terms of a contract drawn up in 1975 which expired last year, Mayor Mochary said that the 1 rate should be $120 annually. Mr. Kendall said that he had received phone calls from residents of Rockcliff Apartments on Crestmont Road for information on the State law pertaining to the formation of a co-operative.

Township Counsel Joseph C. Dickson Jr. outlined the law stating that the owner of a building must supply tenants with their rights. The landlord has three years to find similar, adequate accommodations for the tenant. If those accommodations are found, the tenant must leave after three years.

If not then a series of five one-year extentions will be issued for a total of eight years.
