In voting to draft the resolution last week, the commission cited a preliminary water survey report it said showed the controversial high- way would endanger the township's water supply. According to commission members, the report by Gerahty and Miller Inc.
indicates the state Department of Transportation's "preferred alignment" might damage the township's well field at In-' dian Lane.

The commission noted that another proposed route unveiled earlier this year by Rep.
Robert Roe, takes a virtually identical path through Towaco. COMMISSION MEMBERS also said completing the road would increase air and noise pollution, Ernest Bivona, a commission member, will draft the resolution, which will be brought up for final vote July 11. The Township Committee has not taken an official stand on the proposed routes to complete the road, saying it wants to wait until the final environmental impact statement for the preferred alignment, due in October. search skills and pursue any given topic in any meaningful direction, Mendelowitz noted. "The learning need not take place in the classroom," he said, pointing to possible field trips to senior citizens centers or the governor's office, for example.
He said the $40,000 to $50,000 program, funded by the Board of Education, varies from the typical "pull-out programs" in which gifted pupils are taught in special classes for one to two hours per week. "A child is not gifted and talented just two hours a week," the director said. Eligible pupils and their parents will be notified during the summer. In the past. Mendelowitz said, bright kids often lagged behind because the lack of challenge in a regular curriculum.
"It was always felt the bright kid would be able to make it on his own," he said. THE PROGRAM is not drifting away from the basics of education, the Three Rs, he said, but is "putting them into meaningful practice.

It was sorta sticky there for a -while, with Jim Roe being on the Ramapo Bank's Board of Directors and one of the original organizers of the financial institution. His congressman brother disclosed in 1970 that he had received capital gains during the year "in excess" of $5,000 from Ramapo Bank stock, If the bank keeps making good deals such as the purchase of the school, its stock is bound to continue to pay off.3' But O'Byrne will reopen the subject on Wednesday and perhaps suggest that the county exert its power of eminent domain and start condemnation proceedings to get the school for its own.

And to further aggravate the problem, the bond market is limbing now.
It seems theTreeholders finally have accepted the thought of Ida's retirement and are taking" steps to ease the transition period. Robert Grahn started on Monday as deputy county treasurer, with a salary of $17,500. He's a former employee of Elmo Valle, who has been the county auditor for years. TURN ABOUT'S FAIR PLAY: Pretty Kay Iandoli was named by the county hospital board to replace Sam Van Hook tfs admissions officer. A veteran career hospital employee, Kay should be good in the job.
And it figures then John Viir Neuve, president of the hospital board would reciprocate, with Kay's husband, Chief James Iandoli of the county park police, having approved the appointment of John's son to his troops. THAT'S A SWITCH: Hear tell the freeholders soon will propose a survey to be made by a consulting firni which would Investigate the prosecutor's payroll to check for any possible duplication of staff. Some of the freeholders NEVER UNDERESTIMATE the power of a woman, especially if she happens to be Betty McNa-mara Kordja, chairman of the county Democrats. She also happens to be in favor of Joe Lazzara getting the job as county administrator. Two Democratic free- holders, Jim Roe andCy Yan-narelli, opted for Robert Klein from Mercer County.
Betty let it be known that both Cy and Jim will be up- for re-election when their terms expire this year but only if she and the party machinery approve their nominations. She only needed one more vote to make it official and it looks as if she has it. We hear Jim dropped in at the county election board office, where Lazzara is superintendent, shook his hand and assured Joe that he had his vote. So even if Klein happens to be a friend and admirer of Jimmy's brother, Rep. Robert A.
Roe, D-8th, there are other priorities to be considered. The administrator's job involves 2,800 county em- ployees and a $65 million budget. That's a lot of potential patronage. YOU WIN A FEW, vou lose a few. The Ramapo Bank of Wayne was successful in bidding for Mountain View Elementary School in the township for $255,000.
The only other bidder have expressed disappointment that there hasn't been a major drug bust in quite some time. Also, according to one source, there have been complaints about members of the prosecutor's staff who get paid monthly mileage costs, yet their cars are not moved from the Courthouse parking lot from the time they pull in until quitting time at 4 p.m. And some of the prosecutor's words may come back to haunt him. Always an advocate of hiring people with qualifications, as opposed to connections, he might find it hard to explain the hiring of Lou Funk's son as a $13,000 investigator when the young man has had no police background whatsoever. Papa Funk is a detective lieutenant in the Prosecutor's Office and was one of the handsomest guys on Central High School's football team just a few years back.
(At least, it seems like just a few years.) BINGO MINGO! Well, maybe he doesn't indulge in the game, but he sure is winning prizes, James Mingo, the former Wayne councilman chosen by county Clerk Bill Kattak to be his deputy, is said to be in line for yet another job that of township administrator. And while we're on the subject of Mingo, he's just one of the county boys' who has a place up at posh Holiday Lakes in Sussex County.

His name has been tossed about as the heir apparent, but some old-time Republicans are saying there would be a mass defection to the Democrats if Ross gets the nod. Is Hawthorne really ready for a two-party system? EITHER OR? What's this rumor that North Haledon Mayor Alvin Blau refused to endorse John Car bone as the party's candidate to replace him? We hear he is withholding his support until Carbone promises to keep Jimmy Segreto on as attorney.

Until 1969, county school superintendents were required-, to locate their office at the county seat, but that no longer, is the case. So it might be a good idea to have a more centrally located headquarters. FIRST THE GOOD NEWS The county's finance department, under the direction of Ida Marot-ta, was honored at the state conference of freeholders last week, for its contributions this past year to compensate for the loss ofa county administrator, But a back-breaking workload of the added responsibilities in that department brought about" the inevitable mistake.
