Regardless of the postponement of the interchange plan, Mr. Tonti said the consulting engineers will set a date for increasing the toll at the Bank interchange.

He noted that there was eloquent silence from the Red Bank Community Chamber of Commerce in 1956 when the Long Branch Chamber of Commerce was complaining that the 25-cent toll at the Eatontown toll plaza was unfair inasmuch as the Red Bank toll was only 10 cents.

Mr. Fox, also a member of Borough Council, considered the proposed increases out of line for borough employees in view of the governing bodys policy of maximum increases of $300 or 5 per cent. He pointed out that the decision on the increases must be made by the council.

The policy was established last year, he noted, and like it or not, we have to live with it.

Tonti noted that several years ago when talks were held about a new interchange in the Middletown Holmdel area, a "quick look made Telegraph Hill as a full interchange so unlikely that we dismissed it because it would cost too much money. He said no cost estimates for an interchange at Telegraph Hill were prepared. He said improvement of the narrow, winding road system in Telegraph Hill "doesnt lend itself to an interchange." A free access road to the parkway now exists from Telegraph Hill, and, by the latest authority count, it is used by 898 cars daily. Free Use In Jeopardy Mr. Tonti emphasized that under the parkway enabling act, and agreement by the authority with its bondholders, there is no legal latitude" for free use of the Telegraph Hill road to the super highway.

He said that if a single bondholder brought suit in court, the road immediately would be closed. The authority previously announced that it would close the road when the Red Hill Rd. interchange was opened. Mr. Tonti also said that an interchange at Dwight Rd.

south of Red Hill Rd. would be economically unfeasible because a bridge would have to be built to carry local traffic over the parkway. He estimated the additional cost at $400,000. Chides Planners He also chided the Middletown Planning Board for granting a subdivision which in effect, denied the parkway lands which would be needed for construction of the interchange. The cost of an interchange at Dwight Rd.

would be further increased, he said, by the necessity of acquiring through negotiation or condemnation some of the property at Dwight Rd. M. Harold Kelly, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce committee, said the authority must give serious consideration to the ability of the area and county taxpayers to bear the cost of improving the access roads to the Red Hill Rd. interchange. Mr.

Kelly maintains that the cost to the county of improving Red Hill Rd. to carry greatly increased amounts of traffic could be as high as $2 to $3 million. It simply isnt desirable to make Red Hill Rd. a major artery, Middletown Township Committeeman Earl Moody said. Bell Labs View Alfred T.

Felsberg, manager of community relations at Bell Labs, said, We feel very seriously about the need to keep Telegraph Hill open." He said a traffic study prepared by consultants to Bell Labs indicates a definite need for keeping Telegraph open. Mr. Felsberg said Bell Labs employees are being urged to use the Garden State Parkway to avoid overloading local roads. Construction of an interchange at Red Hill coupled with the closing of Telegraph Hill, hs said, would nullify this desire. Wants Hill Open We are unalterably opposed to closing Telegraph Hill, Mr.

Kelly said. Abram D. Voorhees, a member of the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders, said the county has made no plans to improve Red Hill Rd. at least not until additional right-of-way has been acquired. This would be the responsibility of the municipalities, it was noted.

Holmdel Township Mayor Hill by reported drifted to depth up to 12 feet in inland sections of the county. Rt. 79 (Freehold-Marlboro Rd.) was closed until yesterday afternoon due to drifting and stranded cars and trucks. Rt. 33 from Freehold to Hights-town was open yesterday but cars, trailer trucks and a bus were stranded overnight alone the road.

Smith, owner of the Old Union House at Red Bank and food relief director for Monmouth County Chapter, American Red Cross, with volunteer assistants, was busy Tuesday night and all MATAWAN TOWNSHIP Tie grounds chairman, said the damage to the roads is due partly to the storm and partly to the hard winter.

Recalling that it was the pressure of his work, particularly including service as an instructor at Fort Monmouth, that made him decide against continued service with the Board of Education when he left that board in 1955, he said: I now will have the time to devote to public service. He explained that this year he will round out 25 years in the Army Reserve and will end his activities as an instructor at Fort Monmouth. I would not enter this campaign otherwise. Has General Program Mr.

Gale offered no special programs that he would want to have launched if he is elected. Rather, he dealt with a general theme of helping Red Bank, its business, its culture and its planning, to progress. We must continue to do what we can to advance the good work of the Community Chamber of Commerce to improve the borough, increase public service and keep Red Bank as a prime marketing center. As merchandising grows and goes, so does Red Bank," he said. The candidate said he feels that "we should continue to look for ways to enhance Red Banks natural beauty by taking full advantage of its location on the Navesink River.

How to do it, how fast it can be done, and in what sort of programs will have to be carefully considered and well planned, he said. We must consider every side of the question, working with good, sound ideas, he added. We dont want to plunge headlong into anything. Its all going to take time, concentration and consideration. But we can and will get things in motion.

Wants Commuter Aid In another area, Mr. Gale said he would seek intermunicipal cooperation toward railroad commuter service. Red Bank, with its station, is the hub of service for commuters within and well beyond the borough's borders. But, as a former commuter, for about nine years, I can say these people require good service and should have it. "I feel it is wrong if we look at the commuters as though they were not our citizens.

They are. They help us. They shop in our stores. They live in our area. They are a part of us.

Their problem deserves study and effort. What Mr. Gale said he would like is for municipal leaders to get together and fully assess the commuter problem with a view toward persuading the railroads to improve service, equipment and rates. Red Bank, he said, has a great future; we should be able to keep it moving ahead. Mr.

South Beach is a wreck, one observed said sadly. The only silver lining to be seen today is the fact that no deaths or serious injuries due to the storm were reported here. In Monmouth Beach Army and Coast Guard co-operated to evacuate residents. No tabulation of the number who left their homes was available from these sources. Ocean port In Oceanport no estimate of damages was available this morning.

Waterfront property was extensively hurt, police said, and storm debris lay in lower streets. Many homes were without heat, with their sopping wet oil burners out of commission. Both borough fire companies turned to help pump out cellars yesterday and last night. A major part of the borough was without power from Tuesday night until noon Wednesday, but service had been almost completely restored this morning. In Rumson, the West Park aection, twice under water at high tides, reported widespread minor damages.

Bayshore Area In the Bayshore area, last nights high tide caused further damage, but today evacuees were moving back into their homes and starting mopping up operations. Some 40 persons remained in Port Monmouth School, Middle-town, during the night, but they left this morning for their own homes, or to stay in homes of friends. The Union Beach fire houses were cleared of evacuees today, but high tide last night flooded much of the town. Rt. 35 was closed in spots last night between 11 p.m.

and 1 a.m. in the Morgan and Cliffwood Beach area. In Keyport, Ye Cottage Inn was flooded again by the tide last night, as was the local sewer plant which had about 13 inches of water.

It will be paid April 16 to shareholders of record as of April 2. Directors also declared the semi-annual dividend of 60 cents a share on the preferred stock. This is payable April, to stockholders of record March 19. in the Highlands ind Port Monmouth Schools.

Mr. Smith worked out balanced diets for the evacuees basic foods purchased at supermarkets and prepared at the shelter areas. Served were Jtuch dishes as frankfurters and beans, fresh sandwiches, hot fish and rice and quantities of coffee. Tides Up "We were kept on the go constantly because the waters kept rising with every tide," Mr. Smith explained.

A spokesman for the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co. said 125 evtra maintenance men were brought into the area between Morgan and Asbury Park to do what they could to keep service close to normal. At the peak of the trouble, he said, 500 to 600 lines were out of order. As of last night, 300 telephones were without service. "A big problem, he said, has been in the low-lying areas.

At low tide service would be restored. At high tides, the same lines would go out again. Because of the changes in tides, much of the repair work has had to be done at night. In Red Bank, Edwin W.

Residents, most of whom have argued the points before, complained for an hour about the high" fees paid the engineer (Otis R. Seaman), the fact that he is hired on a part-time basis, and the alleged possibilities of "conflict of interest. On the last point, the committee promised to discuss the possible conflict involved in Mr.

Seaman serving as the engineer on a major subdivision that must also pass through him for approval as township engineer The suggestion that the matter be reviewed by the committee was made by Vincent J. Maneri, 14 Crescent Rd. Budget Queries Most of the questions directly related to the budget itself were routine. There were no outright objections to any single item or the budget as a whole.
