Last week, Mr. Martinis four colleagues passed a resolution asking him to renew the contract at the request of more than 70 doctors engaged in practice in Passaic three hospitals. The contract, which is to be retroactive tojanfiary 2, when it expired, Is to be executed for the city by Mayor Paul G.

DeMuro and Arthur D. Bolton, city clerk. Milk tests, w'hich are now done for the health department by the Garden State Dairy Laboratory, of Irvington, will not be included among the laboratory services in the new contract. Before the vote was taken, a report from Commissioner Martini, in which he offered to renew the contract, was read by the city clerk. He also read a letter which Mr.

Martini had sent to the doctors, explaining that the Paterson laboratory as well as the laboratory service of the State Health Department In Trenton would be available free of charge to them and their patients. A letter from B. D. Asbol, 269 Broadway explaining that the Physicians Laboratory Service, of which he is director, was equipped to make the tests, was also read at the meeting. Mr.

Asbcl, who denied that Commissioner Martini had ever-promised to give the laboratory contract to him, asked the board to consider him if it decided to use a local laboratory. Talk Director Julius J. Cinamon, asserting that he had great respect for Mr. Asbel, suggested that the board keep him in mind in the future. Crest Haven Will Fight Tax Claim Clifton City Counsel John G.

Dluhy infprmed the Clifton Council last night that Crest Haven Cemetery would oppose any -attempt by the city to collect taxes on its property for any year than 1940, on which the city won the right to collect in a decision by the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals last year. Mr. Dluhy reported that Kessler and Kessler, of Newark, lawyers for the cemetery, maintained that the circumstances In the 1940 case were different from the facta in 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1943 and 1946, on which judgment is still pending before the State Tax Board. The board had withheld decision on taxes for those years pending a ruling by the Errors Court on the 1940 appeal. City Manager William A.

Miller Informed the council that he had cautioned City Counsel Dluhy against any legal action that might enable the Crest Haven company to reopen the 1940 case. Mr. Miller suggested the city collect for 1940 before resuming action to collect taxes for subsequent years. The city manager said the city counsel had assured him that the 1940.ca.se medical expenses during the 126 days the boy was hospitalized be days the boy was hospitalized fore he died and $1,000 he suf- fered in an attempt to put out his voured the ship.
