K o h l b e p p, p resident of JC P & L and New Jersey Pow­e r & L ight Company told ra - <llo and new spaper representa­tiv e s on tbe occasion of tbe lo­c a l u tility ’s N inth Annual "R e­p o r t to the P re s s" dinner on F r id a y evening.

M r; Kolilbepp. speajcing a t

r com pared this population In­crease . w l*t h a projected grow th, ln th e sam e period, of approxim ately 48 per cent for th e State of New Jersey and slightly less than th a t for the tjn lted S tates »s * whole.

The utility president of the In teg ra ted companies pointed ou t that the combined c o m - ponies servo approxim ately 350,000 custom ers in a 1 a n d a re a comprising 43 per cent bf th e state, or about 3300 square m iles.

R eferring 'to the generating capacity oi th t two utilities, M r. Kohlhepp sta ted th a t con­struction of power additions Continue, and the electrlo pro- duclng capacity is now two- and-one-half times what i t was 10 years ago, increasing from JOO,000 kilow atts then to fi00,- GOO kilowatts today.

The utility executive also' mentioned th a t "In spite of r is ­in g ’ costs and taxes, we have heen <able to hold the line on electric ra tes, although i t . ls becom ing Increasingly dlfflcu:. to do so.”

Asking the auestlon. which h e ’sald m ight properly be ask­ed,’ "Why not put the wires underground?" M r. Kohlhepp iftld the solution " Is not tha t sim ple." He said underground installations also a re subject to interruptions for m any re a ­eons. When such a b reak ln underground serv ice occurs, l ie pointed ou t,-It takes an av­erage of three to five tim es longer to locate and co rrec t the trouble than In tbe case of overhead w ires.

M r/K ohlhepp explained, "So th a t no one will be '- f t with the im pression th a t there Is to be a n exodus from any local­ity , le t m e hasten to add tb a t (be continuing grow th of t h e com pany requ ires m ore, n p t less; personnel In tbe various offices we now m ain ta in ."

You can renovate your o 1 d bed . If l t isn 't seriously strick ­en with d isease and w eeds, an d add Its yield to the h a r­v est from your new one.

S pecia list's Advice M aybe you 'd like som e ad­

vice about renovating a b e d th a t I got from E rn e s t G. C hrist, o u r extension f r u i t spec ia lis t. L ack of room p re­vented m e from s ta r tin g a new bed. and 1 hated to rip o u t tbe Jerseybelle p lan ts th a t did p re tty w ell this year.. ■

Jersey b e lle Is the Sew varl-. e ty bred here a t. the E x p eri­m en t S ta tion tb a t bas h a d trem endous .success because of Its a ttra c tiv en ess , firm ness, and la rg e size. As a gardener I am h am enough to enjoy exclam ations abou t the size of the b e rrie s ln m y pa tch . I sel­dom feel th e u rge to explain th a t size and quality c o m e built-in, because of the h a «• d w ork of the .p lan t b reedars. arid a re not th e re su lt, of any garden m agic on my part.

Com plete R ecipe M y sp ec ia lis t friend, also a

Jersey b e lle fan, had s o m e suggestions for renovating the old hed to m ake lt produce an­o th e r y ea r . J u s t take out all b u t a few of the p lan ts , he said . And added a word of ad­vice Just for m e - “ also. a ll of the w eeds.”

T here a re perhaps a dozen w ays to renovate an old bed, M r. C h r is t ' advised. One of these is to na rrow each row down by rem oving the cen ter and one side. T h is takes o u t the o ldest p lan ts , leaves t b e younger ones room to grow.

R unner p lan ts soon will fan out f r o m each rem ain ing p lan t. R es is t the tem p ta tion to ,jeave too m an y runner? . Leave only enough to m ake a row one p lan t w ide. P la n ts ln a tidy row ' a re eafcler'to m ulch and m uch eas ie r to p ick from .

W h -1 1 e y o u 're ' 'cu ltiv a tin g abou t the p lan ts th a t y o u leave, sc ra tc h in som e fertiliz­e r . About two pounds of 5-10-5 g rad e Is about righ t. If y o u d idn ’t apply lim e when you s e t out the p lan ts ln the f i r s t p lace, b e tte r pu t on two-and- one-half pounds of dolom ltlc lim estone to 100 sq u are f e e t . D on’t use hyd ra ted lim e.

I t ’s im p o rtan t to finish the renovation Job by early Ju ly . D on’t w o rry If the p l a n t s seem to s tan d still a while. The s tra w b e rry p lan t grow s best In cool w eather, g o e s half-asleep ln hot. ..

Keep a fte r the weeds, a n d w ater your p lan ts in d ry w ea­th e r. Do every th ing you c a n to encourage n e w runner p lan ts to th rive.

No Store A crobatics I ’ll confess I have tried r e ­

novation before, but w ithout such excellen t advice. T h i s tim e I ’m determ ined to k e e j m y plants In line.

B erries should b i even be t­te r nnd I ’m sure few er will get in the way of m y big feet. B est of all, w e 'll do aw '.y wltb the acrobatics and contortions n e e d e d to pick our w a y through a th ick patch.

Renovation seem s like hard work, bu t it 's w orth lt.

P a n Oar Door

New Je rsey , once renowned a s the hom e of the mDst. la r­gest and hungriest m osquitoes ln the United S tates, has long since lost any valid c la im to th a t distinction. According to Dr. Bailey B. PcppBr, ch a ir­m an of th e ’ Entom ology De­p artm en t a t R u tgers U niversi­ty, m a n y s ta te s , Including such distinguished ones as Cal­ifornia and F lo rida , have m os­quito problem s fa r worse th a n exist in the G arden S tate.

As a m a tte r of fact, N e w Jersey , w hich generally Is re c ­ognized as the pioneer In m os­quito control work, has a bet­ter-organized m ethod of fight­ing these pests than any sim i­la r a rea In the world, ln the opinion of the R utgers entom ologlst.

T he orig inal - enabling— act providing for state-w ide m os­quito control through county m osquito exterm ination c o m ­m issions was passed by t h e legislature in 1912. This still is the basic law , th e 'o n ly sub­stan tia l am endm ent holng tho transfer of tho appointive pow­er from the justices of the Su­prem e C ourt to the-B oards ofChosen F reeho lders ,..................

D r. p ep p er, who ts a m em ­ber of thev M iddlesex County M osnulto E x term ination Com­m ission and also secretary . of the N ew . Je rsey M osqu ito 'E x ­term ination Association, pays high tribu te to the unselfish public serv ice rendered by tho m osquito com m issioners, of whom th e re a re six ln e a c h county. Serving w ithout p a y , these m en and w6men keep ln close touch w ith the activities of tlie paid m osquito control w orkers In tho counties a n d establish over-all policies gov­erning th e ir activities

M osquito control is big busi­ness. The 18 counties with ’ or­ganized m osquito com m issions will spend m ore than U.&00 000 on control work thia year This m oney ls provided hy tho county governm ents for t li 1 s purpose. In addition, the state during rccen t .years, has been appropria ting $80,000 annually for an a lrsp ray p rog ram ln the shore counties of M onmouth, O o e a n, Burlington, Atlantlo and Capo May.

M unicipalities also h a v o been throw ing m ore and m ore money Into tbe battle again st m osquitoes, mostly for t h e purchase and operation of fog­ging m achines for em ergency control of adult m osqultoea.

All ol the county p rogram s aro based on knowledge gain­ed through resea rch conducted a t R u tgers. This re sea rch In­cludes a continuing study of tho life h istories, breeding and flight habits of the 40-plus dif­fe ren t species of mosquitoes In tho sla te . I t Includes the de­velopm ent of m achines a n d techniques for so-called " p e r­

m an en t” m ethods of m osquito control.

E ach year, scores of prom ­ising new Insecticides a r e screened in the s ta tio n 's labo-

atorles f o r effectiveness again st the buzzing pests. A constan t sam pling of m osquito populations throughout t h e s ta te Is accom plished th rough the operation of abou t 100 New Je rse y m osquito ligh t tra p s , developed J>'y s tation scien tis ts som e y ears ago, Spm e of these tra p s a re operated by t h e county com m issions, som e by R utgers.

D espite all this, the ba ttle a gain st m osquitoes ls fa r from won. Now and then during periods of heavy ra in fa ll or ex­ceptionally high tides, hatches of m osquitoes will ge t off be­fore the county com m issioners ckn ge t them under control. M osquitoes from som e of the five counties w ithout com m is­sions adversely have affected the control p rogram In neigh­boring counties. M osquitoes from S taten Island, which has po organized! control, a l s o som etim es invjade New Jersey .

R ecognizing these problem s, th e s ta te leg islatu re passed a resolution in 18S5 providing for appointm ent of a "M osquito Control com m ission" to m ake recom m endations fo r tho fu ­tu re , In Its repo rt to .U te gov­erno r arid leg islatu re, t b l s com m ission listed the follow­ing chief p roblem s: T here ls no effective m aste r plan f o r co-ordinated m osquito control som e counties have failed to appoint m osquito com m is­sions; m ore funds a re needed for re sea rch and fo r control w ork. ’’

A m o n g Its recom m enda­tions, the com m ission u r g e d form ation of a perm anen t State Mosquito Control C o m- mioslon to be appointed by the governor to co-ordinate ■ m os­quito control work and to rec­om m end to t h e legislature approprlaU ons needed lo r ade­quate re sea rch and s ta te aid to the counties.

An ac t establishing such a com m ission w as passed ln Sep­tem ber 1.DS8, Gov. R obert B. M eyner nam ed the six Individ­uals to serve wllh the d irector of the A gricultural E xperi­m ent Station as m em bers. Wil­liam H. Dllllstln, P a te rson , w as elected chairm an .

O pening of a th ird north­bound lane a t the R a r i t a n B ridge bottleneck proved el- m o s t fru itless Sunday evening a s shore v isito rs by the thou sands Jam m ed the.l.aqes of the G arden State Parkw ay heading for hom e to points In North Je rse y ahd the m etropolitan a rea .

T raffic began to build up ' along the parkw ay from a

m oderate flow in the afternoon to a heavy load about 7 p.m., according to. parkw ay police. I t was still very heavy a t 11 p.m.

Although pdllce said traffic moved from 20 to 30 miles per hour through1 the R aritan Riv­er bridge area, severe con­gestion was found elsew here. ‘ In t h e vicinity of -New

Shrewsbury and the E aton­town interchange c a rs slowed to a snail's pace and a t tim es w ere halted. _. The traffic problerri created by tbe exodus of thousands of northbound weekend visitors, begins shortly before dusk and often continues until m idnight.

J a c k Hurley, operations m anager for the P a r iw a y Au­thority , said the three lanes over the bridge were instituted as an experim ent and will be continued If the police feel a partia l answer to the traffic problem ls provided.

^ijpo llce supervised using the th ird lane on the bridge and both sides of the river. I t was c reated by dividing the two- lane, 30-foot northbound road­way Into three l a n e s 10 feet wide.

The p a r k w a y has three lanes on each side from Key­port north to the R aritan t o l l plaza. F rom the plaza to a p o in t£000 feet north of t h e bridge ls a s tre tch of two-Iano highway which causes the bot­tleneck, Beyond: this point the road again broadens into th ree lanes. 1 ; -1 ' .. .

D. Louis Tontl, au thority ex­ecutor d irecto r, has said tb a t e lim ination ■ o f the bottleneck by adding ' p e rm anen t l a n e s and w idening the b r i d g e would b e .v e ry high. .

M r. peM ajo explained th a t a ; a h lto r not appolnted for a fix­ed, te rm gains tenure im m edi­ately and th a t w as the c a s c- with M r. Sm ith. Question was

a l s c d if the position Mr. Sm ith filled had not been abol­ished by the h iring of the New B runsw ick Window Cleaning Co. on a con trac t basis. This w as assailed a s m aking lt pos­sible, by a sim ilar analogy, for Uie board to abolish te ach e r 's tenu re by contracting .w ith a supply service of teaching ta l­en t ln place of Instructors un­der tenure .

Concerned O v^t Delay M r. DeMaio expressed con­

cern the appointm ent of Mr. Sm ith m ight be delayed by the lack of action on M r. L loyd's p a r t when Janitorial appoint­m ents fo r the new school year w ere due. He w as assured th a t M r. L loyd’s own appointm ent expires June 30, so the attorn ney would have to advise tho board w hat to do about M r. Sm ith before th a t date. •

M r. Lloyd la te r appeared a t the m eeting. He consented to the board rehlrlng M r. Sm ith but did not advise acknowledg­ing an obligation to pay two years back sala ry . M r. De­Maio sa id that Mr. Sm ith then would have to ca rry the Issue to a su it against the ' i s a r d .

ea^rthly in form, except where tlie m ineral of the s tra ta has

■ been cem ented by oxide of iron into a kind of sand stone or conglomerate known local­ly as Ironstone. Ironstone Is mainly ferruginous sandstone and conglom erate, and around M atawan is found capping many of the high hills w i t h the pieces that are. broken off Strewing the hillsides and ac­cumulating in t h e valley. There Is also a s tra ta of iron­stone under som t of the sub­soils” under a depth of two feet or more. The deposits a re ir­regular and seldom la rge and a re mostly used by fa rm ers and local building contractors for which reason no s tatistics a re availabe as to the extent of-use.

They are composed In a targe p a r t of m ineral glauconite and, o\ying to the ir dark-green color and fo rm er utilization ns fertilizer, t h e y have been widely recognized. They arc underlaid and overlaid by heavy beds of sand w h i c h form broad belts of soils both north and south of the greea- sand belts, while the la tte r a re separated by narrow er belts of sandy m a te ria ls due to thin­ner beds of sand sep a ra t­ing the greensand beds from one another. Tho presence of m arine shells and ot bones of extinct swim m ing reptiles, particularly In the m arl -beds, as well as the m ar] Itself, is conclusive evidence of the ma* rine origin of these form a­tions...... ............. ..............

"The superficial form ations consist of s c a tte re d Irregu lar a reas of sand and-’ gravel, m ore or less clayey ln tex ture and generally yellowish ln col­or, which, overlie the eroded and beveled edges ol the un­derlying form ations. They rep ­resen t deposits laid down a t p much la te r period than t h e underlying form ations, b u t nevertheless sufficiently long ago to perm it extensive ero­sion, since the a reas n o w found are only rem nants of de­

“ In 1D36 Ihe fe d e ra f govern­m en t b a c k e d P.W .A. a n d W .P.A, pro jects for m unicipal­ities and as a resu lt of these p rogram s, the township l a i d w a ter m ains ln Tlie Cliffwood and O ak Shades a re a s a n d both were tied in with the Key­p o rt w ater p lan t."

Accordlng“to M ayor M a r z , the o rig inal W .P.A. w ater m ain pro ject am ounted to $58,000, of which $26,000 wns an out­righ t g ra n t from the federal governm ent and the township covered the rem ain ing $32,000 w ith , bonds. He said th a t on the open m a rk e t today , t h i s $58,000 pro ject has a value of a . q u a rte r of - a m illion dollars.. O ther sections of the township w ere tied in to the M ataw an Borough w a ter p la n t and now the populated a re a s a rc com ­pletely serv iced with w ater

W ater P lan t Ready Soon “ O ur own w a ter p lan t tn the

CUffwood a re a will be ln oper­ation soon,” M ayor M arz said , “ The p lan t is located w here 90 per cent o t the consum ers re* side. M ore than 4000 of t h e some 6000 residen ts of t h e township a re located In t h e CUffwood a re a ." ,

The M ayor po ln ted’out th a t because of tho te rra in of the townshtp, difficult problem s have been posed tn the su rfac ­ing of roads and developm ent of public u tilities. The t o w n- ship has 50 m iles of roads to keep in condition ,ln con trast to 13 m iles in the borough. He said a w ater or sew er p lant in Cllffwood c a n 't be used to serv ice o ther a re a s and that fac to r has m ade developm ent slow because of the cost.

"W hen I took office In 1934 th e re w as not one m otor-driv­en unit ln the ro a d , dep art­m ent. only a horse-draw n g rad er. There was no police ‘de­p a rtm en t, no garboge collec­tion and not one foot of pipe for d istribution of w a te r ,” he said . “ The only w a ter servicc was ln Cliffwood B each, fu r­nished by a p riva te com pany, and a few residences were

serv iced n e a r M ntaw an Bor­ough. The only paved r o a d s were m aintained by the coun­ty and all the re s t were g rav el. You can im agine our prob­lem s, low tax collections andthen,, as now,...everyone.....‘hot-.loring’ for Im provem ents.1'

F ir s t M otor Equipm ent The M a y o r said tho first

m otorized equipm ent for t h e roads, purchased in 1D34, was a C hevrolet dum p truck used to haul g ravel. He said in 1930, a ca te rp illa r road g rad e r was purchased and rem ained in service for 20 years . ‘\We are p re tty well equipped today, two dum p trucks, a new g rad ­er, two front end loaders and a back-hoe."

As t h e financial p ic tu re brightened, the township im ­proved roads g ra d u a lly . until today very-few a re left iinpav- cd. M ayor M arz estim ated th a t 93 pcr_ cen t.o f the ,voods..ln_tho township a re hard-surfaced.

“ In 1035, we estab lished , a police d ep artm en t when it was f o u n d th a t spec ia l officers could not handle, tho p o l l c o work of the tow nship p roper­ly ," he related . “The d e p art­m ent s ta r ted with three m en, has been increased lo six, and as the township ex pands .t h I s probably will have to be en­larged fu r th e r .”G arbage D epartm ent C reated

The M ayor said th a t a g a r­bage collection dep artm en t w as crented , which Is operated by the township. " I t has prov­en a g re a t saving to have m u­nicipal collections, instead of hiring a p riva te co n tra c to r," he added, '

‘‘You have to have the faith of the people and the co-opera­tion of the tow nship officials," tlie M ayor said thoughtfully. "W henever I w ent to t h e m with a problem , they w e n t a long." He said the situation In the township w as p rog ress­ing calm ly until 105i when the new est of the developm ents, R iver G ardens, s ta r te d . ~

Tlie following y ear, lt seem ­ed feasible tc have the lib rary a t the Cllffwood School, open two full days,:and one evening each Week. The basem ent room was allocated, shelyes built by In terested township citizens and furn itu re and books In­stalled from the m ain lib rary .

M rs. Inez Britton, who pass­ed away ln 1950, for m a n y years, was ln charge of the b ranch, which circulated _oyer .7000 books -yearly. ■

The children a t the school w ere particu larly fo rtunate Inhaving lib rary ...facilities aseach class w as allowed to spend one-half hour 'weekly. In the lib rary under supervi­sion, O ver 3000 adult and Ju venile books and m agazines w ere housed there , com pletely catalogued, and the township residents w ere urged to pa­tronize Its facilities.

I n . 1955, due to c r o w d e d school conditions, the r o o m used as a lib rary was convert­ed into a classroom , and col­lections of 50 books w e r e placed in each classroom .

I t ls hoped when the addi­tion to Uie p resen t school Is built, a lib rary will be Includ­ed ‘n these plans.

First Matawan Creek Bridge Built In 1857 After Bitter Controversy

(Cut lo go with a rtic le was not available)(April 22, 1915)

The location over M ataw an C reek, a t which point tlie new bridge to be constructed by

, the B oard o£ Chosen Freehold­e rs of M onmouth County, Is to be placed, has been used as a crossing point, for a very long tim e.' I t 1 Is' understood .that'the Indians which Inhabited this section of our county, w e r e the first to u sf -it;- In order - to reach their b rethren a t Chln­garo ra Poin t from M atawan Point.

L ons a fter the Indians had been driven out a ra f t was u s e d to transport persons from one side to the other.

Along about ’ the year 1854 the late John E . Kuhns, Cllff­wood, s tarted a fe rry by which he could transpo rt wagons and persons a c r o s s the stream . This mode of transfer was In effect fo r a num ber of years, as the owners of the vessels sailing In and out of M ataw an

"or Middletown Poin t C r e e k , •were successful ln righting off the efforts of the people of Keyport In having a c h arte r granted for a pay draw bridge.

Keyport-Cliffwood Dlrcot The boatm en were aided In

the ir efforts to hold up t h e charter by the m erchan ts of then Middletown Point, n o w U ataw an, as all wagon traffic waa compelled to m ake the long drive around M ataw an to K eyport via w hat ls known as the P . V. H eyer farm a t the tipper end of M atawan C reek, a t which place was the only bridge a t th a t time.

At first when the question of » bridge was agita ted , the owners of the sailing vessels, aided by the m erchan ts ol M iddletown Poin t, w ere pow- e rlu l enough to defeat leg is la ­tion, whlcb would perm it th s construction of the bridge (o ra num ber of y e a r s , ...... ...........

About the y e a r 1856 the la te Josepb Rose, wbo had m oved from New Y ork to the fa rm known as the Rose fa rm end who frequently w ent to N ew York Ctly by boat Irom Key­port, becam e Interested ln the proposition, and created such ft sentim ent fo r the building of the-bridge th a t tbe “ b r i d g e p a rty ” w e r e suctesslu l in electing m em bers to tho Sen­a te and House from th is coun- t a .who had » law enacted em powering the com pany to build a bridge and charge toll. Tbls was in 1857,

C harged Tolls Tben The bridge, as a toll bridge,

w as m aintained for ft num ber c4 years and up until th e coun. ty purohased It from th e com ­pany and m ade it ft free o r county bridge.

The f ir s t b ridge built w a s constructed bf wood, an d la s t­ed until the y e a r 1888 w hen i t was replaced by the p resen t Iron bridge a t a cost of abou t $19,000. At Ihq tim e the trolley road was extended to South Amboy an en la rgem en t w a s m ade by the county, w hereby tbe trolley com pany was pe r­m itted to use the bridge in connection wltb tbe county.

As the iron bridge when built, w as ro t m ean t to ca rry the . traffic to which it . was tben subjected, lt soon began to show the s tra in which It w as compelled to carry , and It has been necessary ta do considerable w o r k on the bridge to keep it in condition fo r ' use. F o r the use of t h e bridge t h e trolley com pany p a y s one-half tbe operating expenses, repa irs and the cost of any new s truc tu res whlcb the Board of Freeholders fe lt lt necessary to erect.

Among tlie proposals sub­m itted was one f r o m tho Strauss B ascule T ru n n i o n Bridge Com pany, of Chicago, 111.- A fter the B oard of F re e ­holders and tlio rep resen ta ­tives of the Jersey..

jebelled a^d refused to p a y toll. X i i^ m e casea they even broke down Uie gates. The op­position becam e so stfung that the turnpike com pany w a s com pelled' to com prom ise. "•

The people w eie granted the privilege ot using *hc r o a d alongside of the plank r o a d .

‘ Again D irt Itoad ‘It was then changed to ’a

turnpike hnd the Company col­lected tolls for m any years. About two m iles of it ‘w e r e sold, to the Keyport & M ata­wan S treet Railw ay Co,, a horse c a r Une, thus changing the conditions, by m enns of a general law. and the people's p roperty was used for a dif­ferent purpose from th a t for which it was coded to the turnpike Company^ JThe bal­ance of the road., was a fte r­w ards bpught back by ' t h e people, through tlie lr county governm ent,: $10,000 b e i n g paid for a worn out road and a s , m uch m ore being spent in a year or so, to pu t it In re ­pair. •

This transac tion established a preceden t and has resulted in the county buying all t h e turnpikes there in and m aking them free roads—a good thing.

Matawafi Township Water Supply Involved Matter For Many Years

- - Water supply for Matawan Township' has been a u . lnvolv- ed matter through the ye,ars because of the rambling geo­graphical layout of the munlc- ipallty and centering of popu­lation In' diverse areas. ,

Matawan and Keyport start­ed their own water systems

'•'‘.•••Shortly alter the turn of t li e ■ century. The Matawan Bor­ough Water Department w a s organized ln 1303. At that time lt was decided that the system

' could be better financed it it were carried along Atlantic

. Ave. In its entirety and ex­tensions run into three . town­

' (hip streets, Conover a n d Highfleld Aves. and First St.

. Dne object of this was to get hvo Industrial water uaers lo-

• tated ln the township, Atlantic Tile Co. and the Frank Ander-

---ion-mlll.-onto'thE "line.

Another was to gain the con- llderable number of h o u s u s then existing on these, streets us customers. Beyond t h e ro, all was woods for a mile until one reached a patch of bouses settled around St. J o s e p h ’s Church ln Oak Shades, Then there was more wooded area until one reached the outskirts tt Keyport, then near t h * Broadway and Front St. cor­ner.

Did Not Expect Growth It was assumed as a matter

• tt course there never would be . a growing together of t h e

urea. It was expected confi­dently t h a t tbe houses and

„ planta-gettlng water from the borough would be brought in­to the municipality through a redrafting of tbe map, but; ap­parently by sheer neglect, this

‘ was never done. ■It left a peculiar situation ln

that the borough water plant was operating outside the mu­nicipality for a period of years without functioning as a pub-. 11c utility. When the situation became a m a t t e r of conse­quence, lt had- been an estab­lished fact too long to spilt le­gal hairs over,' "

No more Ideas on the sub­ject of getting plped'wattr de­veloped In the township until

- the Cllffwood Beach develop­ment" started in the mld-1920s and the Cllffwood Beach Wa­ter Co. was formed to serve tlie developed area. G r o w t h reached beyond the area serv­ed by the Morrlsey & Walker development and those having houses In this area began to olamor for water on the basis they were taxpayers and had as much right to servlco as t h o s e In Clilfwood Beach where the township had grant-

i id a franchise to a public utll- — Ity.-Naturnllyv-the-Morrisey &

Walker firm had no Interest ln extending tlielr mains into the properties of other developers, io the problem becamc a .mu?

....Slclpal oiie.• Water Up To St, Joseph’s

Growth also had carriedKeyport Borough to t h o

—bounds -of Oak Shades and p e o p l e living there becamo acutely aware that there was water supply up to the bound­ary at St. Joseph’s C h u r o h »nd no further. They s a w tires put out by water f-r-o m municipal supply on the Key­port side while a few hundred yards farther up their proper­ties were engulfed due to Its lack. This was accompanied by disproportion In' fire lnsur- ance rates. There was agita­tion ln Oak Shades also f o r the . township to do something.. In 1929, Louis H. Stemler. chairman of the township com­mittee, appointed a committee to make a study of the num­ber of users available snd the length of connections needed and costs Involved-in running water ln from Matawan Bor­ough. By that time a con­sciousness of the legalities in­volved was beginning to weigh on Uatawan council members. Tbls oaused a fundamental ls- sue that brought continued ne- lotlatlons to naught.

The township offered p r o- josala by whlcb pipe would be extended from Matawan main heads by the borough. T h e township’s proposal was in two forms. One involved lay­Ing 6300. feet of six-inch mains lo serve both the Clilfwood Ave.area and Oak Shades. Ot

; thls. eoo feet' of the connection main would bo within borough lim its.,The net estimated cost to the borough would be 110,• 131.SO. AgnJnst this tha town- ihlp estimated the borough

would get *3150 revenue from water rents from 173 new us­ers ln the township at the pre­vailing borough rental rate of $18 per tap per year and {675 additional from the rental aI 27 fire hydrants to thu town­ship. Borough operating costs on this servlco were set at $1000, leaving tbe b o r o u g h with a net operating profit of $2825 per year, enough to pay off the pipe extension costs in five years.1 Could Not Be Done

The borough's side of the ' picture in the early 1930s was lhat this could not be done. To do (his, it was pointed out the b'prough w a t e r department would have to become a pub­lic utility , for its operations outside the borough l i m i t s . The borough proposal was to have a-mastenneter installed where the mains would enter the ^ownshlp, have the town­ship form Its own water de­partment Bnd have the bor­ough sell water'to the to w a- ship ln bulk at $2.75 per 1000 cubic feet.

The township committee held making a capital' Invest­ment for mains and then buy­ing water at such a rate would ruin the township. Tbere ap­pears to have been a good deal of loglo behind the township’s allegation, as the rate today ls only $1.8} per 1000 cubic feet and Mayor John Marz, Jr., has denounced it, was an excessive Impost by both Keyport a n d Matawan. The . reasons . w h y the borough saw fit to levy a $2.75 rate back In 1033 a r e hard to-discern. It would have meant $40 per tap water charge in. the township p e r year. ‘

In Uie face of this prohibi­tive rate, the township d 1 d turn elsewhere to see what could be done. It waa found the Perth Amboy Water Works at Runyon would sell the town­sbip water at 58 cents per $1000 but this invojved t h e necessity of setting an ease­ment for running pipe across Madison Township. The Madi­son Township Committee of that day did not accede to this idea unless Madison Township residents along the way could tap the line. The M a t a w a n Township Committee could not see such a capital undertaking for tho partial benerlt of Mad­ison Township, so the d e a l (ell through.

Ask Keyport For Water’ Next was an approach ln

1033 by 50 residents of O a k Shades to Keyport for water. The water department of Key­port. was quick to Join Matft^ wnn in refusing to oxtond lines into tlie township, thereby ac­quiring the status and Jox-re- sponsibillty of a public utility! The Keyport terms, too, were only through Bupply by a mas­ter meter,

The O a k S h a d e s movo brought demand ln the town, ship for equal consideration from Cllffwood. This meant two-and-one-half miles m a i n extension, part of it within the Borough O l-K -C y po r t. This brought mention of a $30,000 proposition and t h a t was. enough. In January 1034, the township was back with a pro­position to the Borough of Matawan, hoping that a polit­ical change of administration would be ln the township's fft-' vor in the water matter. But It did not. One of tbe counoll- men depended upon to be fav­orable to the township's pro­posal went over to the oppo­sition, killing all chances.

Tbls defeat of Its water com­mittee’s proposals nearly dis­rupted the townsbip in tho en­suing year. Three proposals to withdraw from tho township weta sponsored, Tbo develop­ment started by Jacob R.V. Lellerts, borough attorney, west of Lake Lefferta, moved for annexation to tbe borough so It might obtain water. The residents a p p r o v e d tho change, depriving the t o w n- sblp of large ratables. •

Freneau Asks Annexation Next lt was Freneau. Tho

township sought to meet t h s complaints ln this area by tbe formation of a water district which would purchase water from the borough tnd distrib­ute lt through tho district’s mans. But a taxpayer’s suit blocked this. Then a move for annexation was made, the pe­titions were approved and the people voted.

Tbe third move, at the end or; 1934, was by Oak Shades, wanting to be annexed to Key­port so „the residents t b e r e might obtain water. But % fa e state frowned oil (be m o..v e and Keyport’s own Investiga­tion determined the ratables to be acquired would not com­pensate for the expense of ad­ditional service, so this was dropped. . •

The water supply problem for the township finally w a s salvaged by the coming of the Works Progress and P u b l i c Works Administration P r o- gram ln 1935. FWA officials got an application for water s u p p l y , rrom the township: They Investigated and found tbat It only would be feasible at the water rate Keyport was charging. It was rirtwntncrt 12-880 feet cf eight-inch p I p e and 10,280 feet of six-inch pipe, plus accessories, w o u l d be needed to supply the township f r o m Keyport • connecting mains.

Cost Estimated At $38,141

Publication of the cost esti­mated of $58,181 brought dis­may. The township could nev­er hegin to afford anything Uke tbat, Tben the FWA direc­tor advised that the 0 . S. Oov­ernment would supply all la­bor cost outright. This was a $20,000 grant. The FWA ad­ministration also approved a $32,000 loan from the federal government to be paid off ln small Installments to I960 for the township’s financing of the construction costB.

With the federal government on the financing end,, Key­port’s attitude changed and In 1036 an agreement was con­cluded w h e r e b y the Oftk Shades and Cllffwood - a r e a would be supplied from t b e Keyport standpipe. Tbeje now remains only $3000 worth of the bonds to be paid off,

It was not until later days that Matawan Borough be­came a supplier of water to the townshlj) outside of t h e streets on Its perimeter, which It served as early as 1002. Townshlp^nlns were run into the soutb section of Cllffwood after World War □ and tied

a Matawan Borough maB- t£l“meter from Ravine Dr, be­cause Keyport water pressure 'was not sufficient to s e r v e the •'aica.

In l a t e r years, pressure trouble, especially in the’ old Mains of the Cllffwood Beach Water .Co. in. Cllffwood Beach havo kept the township com­mittee ln . difficulty with resi­dents getting .'only a r-u s t ytrickle from their s p i g o t s? There have been petitions too, hearings before and orders from the Public Utility C o m- mlsslon to the townsbip on wa­ter supply.

The concluding step ln pro­gress to water supply was tak­en by the township committee last year whep the municipal­ity was bonded to erect plant on Cllffwood Ave. that would serve the whole C l i f f - wood area from an artesian well.

. The first mention or know* ledge of s scboolluruse within tbe Units of Matawan is found in a record of a road dated Mar* 24. 1751. "Tbe road pass­ed through Mount Pleasant to

. Middletown Point Landing, near' the school boose on said Point." Exactly where t h i s Echoolhouse stood is n o t knoira. Befoje this time, a Presbyterli’ r Church organiza- tlon was formed, a h o u s e erected and a burial ground laid out ob a site of wbat still Is blown as the Mount Pleas­ant Cemetery on New Bruns­wick Ave.

The late Asbury Fountain (grand-uncle ol Ross B. Foun-

the old Academy building un­der the lease until 1873. On July J jn tbat year the Dis­trict was authorised to raise *2800 to purchase the lot and building and the school w a s known a3 District No. 47. or the Middle District and includ­ed all children between dully B r i d g e and the Methodist Episcopal Church. One h u n- dred and eigbty-three children attended. .

This two room tuildlng was moved on tlie tot where the Charles Carman home stood on Church St., by James Coo- over ancl used 03 a barn. Later Norman Tice bought It and he moved it to the . ex­treme end ol Church St. and

stractora la this school includ­ed Richard Horaor, William Horror, James Bills, Miss Mary Clark. Mrs. Julia Bur* lew Rose, Miss Cassie Whit­lock Hendershot and W. A.Miller. ; -

On Aug. 7, 1850, a lot was purchased In the lower part of the town on which was erected the Lower Point School house known as District No. 48- This District, extending from tb e|centralized building,

Need CealnUhcd System .Gradually the tieed of re­

placement of the various . dis­trict schools by one centralis ed up-to-date graded system became apparent. Many meet­ings were held in the virions schoolhouses and ln old Wash­ington Hall, In order to give the public an opportunity to hear and discuss both sides ot the. question. The i f i a d e d school ideiv was finally adopt­ed. The late Benjamin P. S.

Close and several other sub­stantial citizens were t h e prime movers ln this project. The matter was opposed stren­uously by several large .prop­erty holders who thought the old schools good enough. At the Ume It was reported that the trustees of Glen wood In­stitute were trying to defeat the plan fearing inroads of. their number of day scholars.

Therefore in 1895, the flrrft still fn

On May 2 the piano arrived, and a gigantic parade w a s held. The .piano was drawn through the streets on one of Lupton's trucks. At tbe school appropriate exercises w e r e held. Principal W. A. Miller B. F. S. Brown, vice principal J . F. Walker, j ; Howard Hul­sart. county superintendent of Mortis County, and j - t t e r s -sp&Sre. A 'dinner was neld the old Middle District School and whole suckling Pigs were part of the menu.

By 1908 the enrollment had so Increased that many chil­dren were housed in what then was Geran’s Hall and now Le­gion H a l l . These quarter* w e jfe absolutely unlit for school use as the building waa never Intended for that pur­pose. Parents began to com­plain and the school authori­ties started a movement for au add ition Vo the graded school. There was much and heated opposition. U wa* necessary to have seven elections b e l o r e those working for tha n e w ichool accommodations were victorious: The. opposition waa swamped by a six-to-one vote that finally included every vote ln tbe district-. An addi­tion, consisting of four class­rooms and an auditorium wltb seats for 400, was built at a cost ol *11,000.

High School Needed Again tn 1923 make-Bblfla ol

every kind had been used, un­til the need for a high school building became Imperative. But building costs were so high tbat the taxpayers felt lt wise to defer action. The o|>- portune day, however, never arrived. . . •—Finally, ove rerowdlng - -be­came so critical that part-time schedules were adopted a n d classes became so large that no teacher could more than .“keep” school. Then the public voted !unds for a new build­ing. Oround was broken Sept. 18, 1023, and’ one year later, Sept. 29, 1024, the building was occupied.

Joseph F. Walker, who was

principal ln the u ii per district

He practi­cally, was bead of tho schools, while a permanent head was being selected, and organized the classes to conform to the new arrangement and t h e course of study to be given ln tbe old buildings under a grad­ed system until tbe new build­ing was finished.

Real Estate Development Topic O f The H our, ' • Real estate development Is

” the toplo of the hour In Mata wan Township today. Its mu­

' %1-UWpal government,' s c h o o l authorities and taxpayers face an-Issue of permitting a 1400 home t development In th e

■ Clark St.-Line Rd. area wjiich will double the population it

, all these' houses are built and ' ' occupied. The developer,; Mil-■ ton :Zerman, New York; one ’ of the better known real es­

tate operators in the east, has pledged water, sewers, paved roads, a .10-room school a n d

, acreage for added s c h o o l a and playgrounds. .

Compared with the e a r l y days of the operations of de-

‘ velopers, this ls a bounty ln- deed for the taxpayer already In the township. But he ques- tlons bow much more he has

‘ ; to pay for schools, for munlci- —...pal” Improvements' and serv­

Ices, that he will have to bear Is. after the developer has s o l d

his houses, pocketed his profit, and gone on his way.

In viewing the historical rec­ord of development, it ls nec­essary ta define the term, De­velopment ls something more

■ than just the 18th Century conception of laying out a map and selling off lots. These early maps of farm lands spilt up Into building lots, such as the “Map of Lots at Middle­town Point,” "Map of O a k Shades,” the early “subdlvl- slons” of the township, o n l y were put on record, so title to the homesites sold off c o u 1 d be traced and their locale1 identified by reference as the years passed,• Became .Municipal Streets

The roads and, streets laid out on the map automatically became municipal streets as lime passed so there was no 0-oblem of upkeep or municl-

...pal maintenance involved. The. householders using the deslg-

■ nated road or lane for getting in.and out ol tlielr properties

- to a turnpike or main road by ’ a‘ horse drawn vehicle assum­

ed themselves the responslbll- - liy pf filling in the holes and

Tuts to make their travel as comfortable as possible.

' The householders sank their ; own wells on lots purchased

for their water supply, and Improvised tbelr own sanitary facilities. The relationship be­tween land use and property development and the malnten- ance of public schools wns not thought of. Bchools were few and far between ond so limit­ed ln their scope they w e r e not even a principal factor ln determining the tax rate, Gcn- erally the ramshackle wooden

' and brick structure that serv­ed as a school had been built by volunteer labor ln the com­munity, so thero was no proh- Iem of bonding and tbe small costs could be defrayed in dl- rect taxation. '

; The advent of “ develop- j ment” came to this part of ; the bayshore area during the i last decade of the 10th Cen- | tury when first, the multl- iqom school was needed, then, ln Keyport and Matawan, the

, municipal water plant and municipal se w or. system. There followed ln the early years of the 20tli Century the coming ol the motor vehicle with the accompanying n e e d to provide evenly-surfaced hard-finished roads to accom-

^modate its speeds, which were much greater than the horse drawn vehicles. ■

These needs did not truly take form in Malawan Town­

' ship before t h e 1920s. Such paved roads as came through tho township were pul down by the state or county a n d they were through thorough­fares.Development Stv.-jfl ln 1623

. .^It was ln 1923 that “m a p s rciylng out lots” can be said to have been superceded by development In the township Tlie growing interest of tb e city dwellers ln s u m m e r homes along the bayshore had brought development, as early

■ as 1910 ln Keansburg, then ln 1921, ln Laurence Harbor, and,

by 1923. it struck Cllffwood Beach, That area was still a wooded one, mosquito-ridden, and owned by Miss Eleanor Clark, New York, who stoutly had resisted oil approaches ln her lifetime ot tbosi; who would buy these lands where t h e Clark ancestral . homestead was located. She died in the early 1920s and her legatee, Mrs, Minnie S. Keyes, N.e w York, was much less loathe ln the matter of disposing of the property. The firm of ChitrJes Morrisey and Samuel D. Wol- ker, which already had offer­ed nearly 18,000 homesites to buyers in their real.festate ac­tivities, were successful In ob­taining 340 acres'of the Clark Estate property.

In 1923 they brought John J. Watson, the landscape archi­tect who had much to do with tlie conception of what is pres­ent-day Miami, to lay out the lands for lot sales. The Mor-

1 risey & Walker firm p a i d $200,000 _f<Sr their property. To this original investment, they were going beyond the old­time notions of Just l a y o u t lots to provide the elementary needs ol the comforts of life for those who would be buying the 4200-lots being offered ln their t r a c t . They Invested $300,000 more, ln hard-gravel­ed roads, in a water plant, and ln a -boardwalk a n d beachfront amusement area.

They started out by offering 25-by-lOO-fbot lots for $85 on a $10 down and $10 per payment basis. That their Investment of $300,000 for improvements ln addition to the. $200,000 for tbe property paid off ls Indicated by a report ln early 1035 that they had had lot sales of $700,­000 and that lots then were be­ing offered at prices from $350 to $450. Likewise, they were beginning ‘ to get a return through their operating utility, on their water plant, w h i c h made up most of the $300,000 Investment ln Improvements a n d Which ' Uiey . reasonably could expect to defray f r o m water revenues through th e years.' •Increased Need For Schools

' The Impact of this develop­ment did result In an-lncreas- ed need of schools. In 1024 a graded school was built ln Cllffwood and a new h i g h school ln Matawan. Previously the high school and secondary pupils both had been housed in the old Elementary School building on Broad St. It .was acknowledged that the Influx of population in Cliffwood Beach had brought (tlio need for this added investment ln

lar was freely redeemable ln gold,, so that anything resem­bling the creeping inflation of today was n o t besetting the populace. T h e r e were no rounds of wage Increase fol lowed by price Increases and again followed by wage In­creases that made the esti­mates of costs ln school oper­ations and ln the operations of municipal government a night­mare to the local taxpayer. Hence there was not the hunt there ls today for somebody on which to unload n 'part of the costs, the developer, if he could be caught up with in time.

Other Developments StartA local factor at the time al­

so at work was that the start­ing of Cliffwood Beach, which with water mains and roads supplied, soon brought other developments on ~t lie~frtnEe; Brown & Longa n, a Keyport real estate firm, started Cllff­wood Beach Park, advertising lots at $175 and up. Then fol­lowed Woodfields, Cllffwood H e i g h t s , Keyport Heights, and, ln Oak Shades Terrace, the old Matawan Tile Co. sold off some of thplr property as Kane Terrace.

T h e s e new subdivisions brought demands on the town­ship committee lor w a t e r service such as already h a d been provided in Cllffwood Beach, in that all household­ers ln the township s h o u l d have equal status on improve­ments.

As the developers had gone on their way and wete not in Uie financial position, a ny­way, to undertake the found­ing of private utility compan­ies, the township was forccd Into the water business. Tills was done by assessing t h e property owners along streets where enough houses had gone up to warrant extensions of service. This did "catch", the developers where they h a d lots unsold, iCkdhey did con­tribute something toward wa­ter Improvement. However, they promptly added to the selling price of the lots they were offering. .

Halted By Depression/The process cai*ie to a halt

with the Incidence of t h e world economic depression In the early 1930s. The demand for real estate Investment and home buying became so negli­gible that large real estate ex­pansions, l i k e that of the Kramer Land & Home Sales ln Clifiwood, were abandoned by the developers, who wereno longer able to pay taxes on

. .. I them ond could not see a n yschools. However, the-dlscon-\ market lor their lands, d £

fault on taxes also brought de­fault on water service nnd on

tented taxpayers already In the dlstrlot were limited to a bit of grumbling. It was point­ed out the added school costs would be defrayed by the rat­ables gained. There was noth­ing like the searching analysis of today as to the number ot pupils to be educated at' so many thousand dollars per pu­pil against the number of chil­dren of School age to be ex­pected ln tho new homes..,

There .are a .number of:fac­tors why the incidence 6f de­velopment was a moro com­placent m a 11 o r, Insofar as school costs wero concerned. To begin with, tho law. requir­ing everybody to attend school until he reached age 16, t h e age at which working papers can be issued, had not come to pass as yet, so tho school population was smaller ln pro­portion to the total working population supporting educa­tion, A second factor was the #limited number of courses of­fered in the curriculum. Sub­jects were along the same pat­tern for all pupils, regardless of their Individual talents or needs. There was nothing like home economics, m a n u a l training, guidance programs and school psychologists of to­day. Accordingly, school costs in relationship to the general tax load was small.

A third and very Important factor was that the price level

payments on account of ,water mains extension. More - a nd more lots and houses sold by the developers came back on the tax lists and the people living ln the houses became charges on the poor list they were out of employment.; At;onei time It was estimated by. the township bommlttee that .000 of , the 2200 population of Matawan Township w e r e on the poor list and only 40 per cent of the list of property owners were paying taxes. It was futile to foreclose on prop­erties for tax liens when there wns no market for tho lands acquired.

T h i s experience brought friction between the o l d e r residents, the mnjorlty of whom retained their employ­ments and had savings a d d backlogs to tide them over ln tho hard times, They resentod bearing the costs of a poor list made up mostly of newcomers to the township who h ad bought places on "shoestring mortgages and had no savings backlog against their loss of employment. From this exper­ience came a new attitude to­ward development, less con­cern about "progress" a n d "growing” and making money ln real cstnto speculation more about school costs and maintaining municipal serv*

was relatively stable, the dol- tcea and improvements. It suf­

ficed to kill plans for further "developments" tn the Cllff­wood area for e long Ume to come. . \

After Cllffwood Beach, t h e next major development In the township was on the shores of Lake Lefferts, named for Ja­cob V. M. Lefferts, Matawan Borough attorney, who had been a moving spirit in tlie creation of the'lakes. Mr, Lcf- ferts offered for sale proper­ties on tlie lake and in t h e lake .area on larger size lots than in Cllffwood Beach and restricted t li e . building of houses on these lots to a bet­ter standard. This was, in ef- leet, the first application of toning and the acquisition of better ratables ln the town­ship, . The Lefferts develop­ment, as had been the case ln Cllffwood Bench, Invited fur- ther—developnrentS7_ lH~Iioc5^ slea Heights.

Brought In Water 'The Lefferts-Lochslea devel­

opers brought ln water from Matawan Borough with . re­sults that later were to be mo­mentous. The first Lefferts lots were advertised at $75 per lot but values aulckly Jump­ed. There were 1500 lots ln the Lefferts tract. '

The Lefferts-Lochslea devel­opment ran into the same de­pression storm as Cllffwood Beach, but on less severe terms as the buyers of houses in the Matawan area proved to have more good fortune than those In Cllffwood Beach ln tbe matter of retaining their employments. But the devel­opment projects had to go through reorganization and In 1935 the Lake and Land Corp., a New York holding firm, took over the whole project.

T he Lefferts development proved momentous for t h e township In that those ln the development decided t h e y would prefer to be ln Mata­wan Borough. T h e r e was great bitterness over the mat­ter as the borough was ac­cused by the political powers In the township at that time of robbing the township of need­ed ratables Just as the t o w n- ship’s municipal government was beginning to get back on Its feet financially, The pro­tests were to no avail, as a majority of the new home­steaders favored annexation and the enabling legislation was passed at Trenton. Every­thing on the westerly shore ot Lake Lefferts went into t h e borough but one lone h o m e- slte. that of Louis H. Stemler, for 25 years the head of the township municipal govern­m ent;.---- --- -----

This Induced jl further note of apprehension ln the atti­tude of the township toward further development. T h e n there had to be an addition put on Matawan High , School ln 1940 because of the Increas­ed school enrollment and the first general awareness ; ap­peared: to! take hold that, there Was a correlation between de­velopment and school costs.

Dormant From 1935-51 R e a l estate development

was a practically d o r m a n t thing ln the township f r o m 1035 to 1051, The financial dif­ficulties of the municipality coupled with the low of- build­ing activity in the middle and later 1030's was followed by the World War I I period when homebulldtng was stifled by war and post ' war’ shortages. It was not until the 0.1. Bill of Rights was a settled Instru­ment that real estate develop­ment'was movod again,— ...—

The Morrisey & W a l k e r firm, through their Laurence Harbor Heights Co. unit, took up development a g a i n ln Matawan Township in 1950. with their 280-homes R i v e r Oarden projcct, This was on a tract south of Route 35 and bordering Matawan Creek,

The program of real estate developments had widened ln the Intervening years to re­quire the installation of septic tanks by developers r a t h e r than to leavo this a chore ol the new householder. T he

Morrisey It Walker firm in stalled these tanks lu lliver Oardens. The tanks proved un­satisfactory, due to the c l a y condition of tlie toll, and the municipality wns served no­tice tty the State Department of Health 11 must install ' a package sewer sysem.

No Flou-off. Front Laterals JPerculatlon tests made, aft­

er most of tho homes w e r e sold. Indicated no flowotf from laterals from the tanks could be expected In the area. The township sewerage authority accordingly came into being with authority to issue (150,000 ln revenue bonds, backed by the credit of the township but to be defrayed by the owners of the River Gardens homes over the estimated period of usefulness of the utility.

This situation moved devel- Tjpnrcnntup 5 new position. River Gardens householders were loud in their demands that the developer be made to bear the cost of the s e w e r Plant. The township committee would not accede to this and members were frank to admit nothing could be done as the lots were sold. The^ Laurence Harbor Heights Co.,'" however, did volunteer to assume th e cost of Installing pipe connec­tions to the curbllnes from the homes Jn houses sold b j them ln River Gardens.

The River Gardens experi­ence crystallzed views w l t b regard to what should be re- nulred of developers coming into the townsbip ln the fu­ture. . ■ ,

However, schools had n o t come into the picture as yet. The Matawan Township Board of Education had to put an ad­dition on Cllffwood School ln 1951 to accommodate an In­creased enrollment coming largely from River Gardens, hut the old idea of new rat; ables taking care of a scbool Indebtedness still held. There was no demand on Laurence Harbor Heights Co. for con­tribution to schools. .

The idea of compelling devel­opers to contribute to schools swept Into the township from outside, largely from Madison Township, where large-scale development after 1054 threw the school system of, t h a t municipality Into an unfortun­ate s t a t e . Tbe Monmouth County Planning Board came Into being and lt, too, . urged local planning boards, which I n c l u d e d the reorganized Matawan Township Planning Board, to delay" thij approval of subdivisions plans until tbe developer had taken the add­itional step beyond surfaced roads., water and sewers to contribute toward added school facilities. , .

Promotes BoxingMatawan Township ls the

residence of the State Ama­teur Athletic .Association Com­missioner for this part of the state, Frank Boyle. Tbls man h a s performed noteworthy work for youth ln the township througb the Cllffwood Boys Club to p r o m o t e boxing. Through the yeamover a bun- dred boys have been regular performers on amateur boxing cards with bis help. Countless more have enjoyed the bene­fits pf “b u d d y ” boxing aa I younger boys. He co-operates I with the Matawan Township Police Athletic League In the sponsorship of this sport.

The boxing mentor’s father, □ugey Boyle, was the world's featherweight champion' back Ur Uie 189Ds, so hq was brought up ln a boxing and sporting atmosphere. As a boy be saw his father act as second to the famed Bob Fitzsimmons, world’s heavyweight champion and Jack McFartland, king of the mlddlewelghts.

After the end of his active career in boxing, the elder Boyie settled down in his na­tive Elizabeth where he 'be­came the unbeatable candidate for city assessor ln election after election. It was ln those days that the young F r a n k Boyle accompanied his father to Keyport on fishing trips and became Interested ln this area. Cliffwood attracted him a n d when that area was developed as a colony, Uie Boyles moved down. .

Among t h ’e more notable boxers whom Boyle lias devel oped are Joe (Rocky) Toma­sello and Sal Vena, now a township committeeman. Tom- ascllo moved up under Boyle’s tutelage where he fought sucb famed r i n g performers as Sammy Guilani, Ralph (Tiger) Jones and King Solompn.

Sal Vena was exclusively an amateur, but he was Golden Gloves champion of New Jer­sey and picked far the Eastern Golden Gloves team tbat rep­resented tbe east against the west.

Kelly lived to ths age of 83^'passing away ln 1014.

CUffwood Angels Modern Clubhouse

The doien or so young boys who In 1034 organised the Cllff­wood "Angels never dreamt that someday tlielr organization would have a fine Headauarters such as the building above on Center Ave. In the beginning, they were happy to have a meet- Is , place In somebody's woodshed, -■■- -

Back in the year 1934 a primarily a summertime base-

group of Cllffwood boys In

their early teens, a bit tired of

being known as a "bunch of

devils" because they were ac­

cused of all sorts of depreda­tions by property owners and others aroused at what-now Is classlcafly called “Juvenile de­linquency,” decided to da something about lt. It was tho bottom ot t h e depression, everybody was too concerned about getting a few square meals on Uio table and Shoes on their feet to think of doing anything lo help boys w i t h Idle time on their hands.

But these Cllffwood Beach boys did do something about lt, ln the face of the m o s t discouraging outlook possible. They formed their own club. When It came to picking a name for it. .tho boys wanted something that would express their contempt for the- unfair Judgment- to which tljey were being subjected continuous!? Always.."young devils” ..they hit upon It, the opposlte-"the angels.” In scorn and derision of the crltlclsr.. to which they had been subjected, the club became tlie Cllffwood. Ansels.

However, whether they were or were not angello, the boys of tbe Angels were construc­tive and had Initiative, T h e y obtained through their own ef­forts the caulpment for sports whlcb now are provided boys through organized setups, suoh as the Little Lesgue. In time they had their own clubhouse and, by doing odd Jobs, t h e boys kept their dues records up to date.

The early records of t h e o l u b bear such names aa Downing, G uIbUi DlOlambat- tista, Rafra, Regan, DiPaolo, andPlttlus, names which stood out ln athletics In-the -- years that followed. The club w a s

ball playing unit and lls team

hnd grown' to fast Junior lea-

guo proportions by 1040. B u t

then the draft board camo in­to being, calls to service be­gan to deplete tlio membership and by tbo time l’carl Harbor came to pass tho club was go­ing; through a period af dor­mant Interest, There had been a football team organized but tlio many calls of the scrvlce held up tills activity.

By 1043 the club wns return Ing to Its sports program. The baseball team of that y t n r was manned by calling on ro- cent Matawan ond Keyport' High School graduates to help out ln tlie .manpower drought. Tills was a good move ns lt gave direction to tho activities' of youth which otherwlso had to be more or less abandoned becauso of tlie wartime re­strictions. Somebody had program far them while Uioy were awaiting tlie Inevitable draft call.

T ho 1844 Annels baseball team was about the most suc­cessful Btlilctlo unit tho olub ever had. It won 23 out of 28 games. Tony aallo ahd Ed Ka- pushy, a recent Koyport grad of tbat tlmo, wero the loading pitchers ln tills highly success ful campaign under tho man­agement of Bill Regan, War­time restrictions on t r a v e l were being; eased so that the team could get about to en- gaga suitable opposition, some thing that had been Impossible in the war days of 1043 a n d 1043. With tha end of the war ln 194J, the manpower short­age was do more but tb e club's team won only ntno and lost 14. The explanation f o r tbls was tbat other organisa­tions that had suspended oper­ations during the war resum­ed and called back players

tbat the Angels had given s home" to during the trying

days. There was too much shuffling in and out of players.

But ln the winter of 1945-48, great plans were formulated. The membership of tbe c 1 u b Jumped up to 83 and lt took a franchise Id the Shore Semi- Pro Football League.'

Jolmny Rogan, former St. Mary’s player, was coach and Uie squad headed off with two former Keypprt High football luminaries, Stovo Kapushy and Frank‘Frngnaso. Other hefty operatives on tho roster of the dub, whlchf avorngcd over 185 pounds were Dave McGrath, Deacon Close, Jim DIQlambat-

.lists, Tony Sank. Augto Pitti- lls, Ernie VanSnnt, Bob Ma- □rath, B o b Cherney, J o e Casey, Oene DlGlnmbattlsta, BUI und Joe Pitllua, Leo Mo- □rath, Dun Kramer, Joe and Stun Zdunlak, John Savitsky, Ed Dercchlalo, Ctn-1 Brnder, Bam Dllks and John selllck.

The club played Bundays tin­der the aro lights nnd orowds of 1500 to 2000 at games wero Uie regular tiling. Thero was a 4-3 record In the league ln 1040, In 1047, stan linker, Key- port High grid mentor, t o o k over tho reins when an enter-' gcuoy developed ln mid-season nnd ho brouttht the club to n third place ln (ho standings The high tide of Cllffwood foot­ball wuti vouched tho fallowing year when tlie team was In a tie for first placo with tlio As­bury Park semi-pro eleven go­ing into tho final two games of the season. ■ They unaccount­ably collapsed In Uie crucial gamo with the Long Branch Panthers, losing 2D o for t h e worse defeat tho club has sus­tained In thrco years on th o gridiron. They hnd to sottlo for another third place

Final year of Angels football watt .1040, Tho record was 1-4 ns tlio semi-pro ,loaguo was starting the fall apart u n d e r the rival attraction of tlio tolo- vlstng of pro-football games ot the National, Professional Lea­gue, The squad could not find substitutes fo>‘ four positions at tlie end of tho season m i l Uie ro wero bad Injuries. Tlioro followed BUlts and olalms lo settle nnd nn abandonment of membership by many who ap­parently fenitd they would be liable for sottltng part of tho damage claims.

A sturdy few refused lo give up the ship.
