The State Transportation Department will receive bids July 27 for the first stage the 3.8-mile highway reconstruction' between Routes 3 and 46. That stretch of highway is one of the most dangerous in the State, with a daily traffic volume of 40,000 vehicles and a high accident rate, The Moonachie Avenue ip- tersection has been the scene of numerous accidents, many of which caused fatalities.

The girls were on their way to New York City at the time. Police said the girls escaped Wednesday night and walked practically the 110 miles from Hudson to Mahwah. They will be turned over to school "authorities today. Mahwah Three Yunaways from the New York State Training School for Girls were picked up here last night and detained at the Bergen County Juvenile Shelter, Paramus. The girls, one 14 and the other two 15, were found straggling along the Franklin Turnpike by Patrolmen Ray lyj: iYYOa Yl The Township of River'Tale must find an essential ingred ient before it can launch a law suit to block construction of an office-research center across the New York State line in Orangetown and that is landowners willing to initiate action.

Roger W. Township Attorney, said yesterday that a decision: whether to sue still open to question. Nothing- has' been agreed to. There are some very, real problems still facing us," Breslin said. He said the Township, is now sounding out homeowners, in River Vale, Old Tappan, and Northvale to determine the depth of their, opposition to the complex.

The issne is what damage these landowners would realize to property values from the- rezonine bv the Oranee- town Board to allow Uris Buildings Corporation of New York City to go ahead with its $100-million project. Bergen County Board of Freeholders has. told River Vale it will provide full legal and technical support if and when the Township initiates a suit, but as Breslin pointed out, the Township must wait for its resident to decide they want to start the action. Breslin explained that neith-. -er the Township nor the County would have any legal standing in the federal court where the action must be filed.

Is an inter-State mat- ter," Breslin said. "However there is no precedent for citizens of one State to challenge the zoning actions that were taken in a second The federal court might recognize the right of persons to seek redress for property damage, but it would be less likely to violate the Constitutional provision lor.aiaie sovereignly at the behest of a municipality or a County government. If the action were filed, it would be in the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

This would mean a New York attorney must be hired, Breslin The legal problem, once a federal court takes jurisdiction over the is convinc-' ing a federal judge that residents of one State have a right to be heard in the zoning mat ters of a neighboring Wlicil uic. wiicuigi) 4111511, ua an adverse impact. "There is no case like this anywhere in the United States, although both New York and New. Jersey recognize the right of residents to be heard in zoning matters across municipal boundaries," Breslin said. The case in which this issue was tested originated in Bergen County in the 1950s: When the matter came before the State Supreme Court, the then Chief Justice Arthur T.

Van-derbilt ruled that municipal uouauajies are uui inc uic Chinese wall, impregnible to protest from outside. This principle hs been accepted in many other States, said Breslin, but current legal theory still regards State lines very much like a Chinese wall.

The group showed enthusiasm not only in its primary function of building a new library but in developing the library into the Borough first cultural center. 'Seymour Rosenstein was elected permanent chairman of the group. He had served as temporary chairman.

Rosenstein reported on a detailed study he made of a similar group in Lincoln Park. He noted Lincoln Park was first given $50,000 in a federal grant, then an extra $36,000 because there was a surplus in the federal funds: Lincoln Park, he said, plans to start construction of a $200,000 library in the fall. Rosenstein said -he also 'consulted State library officials and was informed the Borough can get up to $1,000 towards payment of a consultant. He said Lincoln Park hired an outside consultant and found it a worthwhile investment. The consultant makes a study of the need of the community and recommends the type of building and facilities to be constructed.

The local group is considering asking for a meeting with the Mayor and Council to dis-. cuss the proposed new library; Mayor "Albert St. George has pledged co-operation. Rosenstein noted "that the Library Board is responsible for. the handling of the financing of construction.

Harry Razen, president of the Library Board, said Mayor St. George is checking this. Library Director Bernard Rosenzweig explained his idea for a floor plan which would divide the adult, reference and children's rooms, but make them central so they can be easily controlled by one said in multi story building such as in Fair Lawn, a supervisor is needed for each floor. The Friends of the Library made plans to visit various area libraries. Rosenzweig also envisioned a large room for meetings, art exhibits, musicales, and film programs.

To inform the public about the. library facilities and what can be done with a pew library, the group suggested a sort of literary welcome wagon distributing literature to children as well as adults. flA. fourth meeting was set for Tuesday, July 11 at 8 P. M.

FAIR LAWN TODAY Postponed regular meeting, Board of Education, 8 P. caferja of the senior high school By VIC de PICCIOTTO Staff Writer During the next 6 weeks the Bergen County Health Department will be teaching a young medical student the ins and outs of public health. But at the end of this perjpd the County Department and public health officials throughout the State may be rewarded with a lesson from the student. While serving as an extern In the County's public health program, John VV. Rowe, 23, of Wood-Ridge will'be compiling information; for a study on the status of immunization of children for contagious diseases.

"The importance of the study," Rowe explained, "is that doctors in private' and public practices do not know the extent of immunization in their areas. "Private physicians inoculate all of" their young patients," he continued, "and so consider them all protected from the common childhood diseases. But individual doctors don't know what other doc-tors are doing in this aspect of their profession and so many children may be going without such protection." Taking it one step further; Dr. Ira Lubell, director of the Health Department, said the study can provide important information to public health officials so they may prepare a program to assure that all children are protected. "If 'this study shows that a great number of children are going unprotected, as we think it will," Dr.

Lubell added, "then it's quite possible that its import will be spread across the nation by one of the medical profession's many periodicals." Along with his research project, Rowe will participate in all of the activities of the department from administration to tracking down the outbreak of measles. The County will pay him $600 for his part in the program. Rowe, a graduate of Can-isius College, Buffalo, N. has just completed his first year of medical school at the University of Rochester. He is considered an extern because his undergraduate work at the medical school has not been completed.

Once be has his medical degree he will be an intern. Student 'Withdrew A second scheduled for the to take a job as a salesman for a drug company. Although Rowe has not ie: cided whether to specialize in pubBc health, -Dr. Lubell said the program will do much to show him just what is involved in the work. "If nothing else," the doctor added, "it should prove interesting and show how vital the work is to the community." Rowe will be doing most of his research on his own, without the help of the County's chief public health official.
