THE DAILY HOME NEWS KEW BRUNSWICK, N. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER I. IW 46 Inn Given Use Permit Despite Protests Spotswood Troop Has Second Eagle Scout on Its Roster whole area and any future plans of the state highway department before the property is allowed to be developed. A letter from J.R. Schuyler, state highway engineer, also addressed to Wright, answering an inquiry from Wright, said the department feels that the "existing interchange is adequate" 'and that it has "no plans to revise" it.

Receives Inquiries Joseph Somers, county industrial commissioner, wrote to Wright that since "a large industrial concern is making inquiries in this vicinity," a complete re-evaluation should be made of the area. His letter suggested "due consideration" of the property "as a possible deterrent to a widening or expansion program of Route 130 and or adjacent roads." Republican Committeeman Frank Chrinko said that some statements in Powell's letter conflicted with the road con senting a conflict of interest. Theodore Appleby; township attorney, asked by Democrats for his opinion, said Dobin was entitled to vote if he felt there was no conflict. Appleby also said he did not feel there was substantial conflict. Letters directed to committeemen on the subject apparently conflicted.

They concerned the possibility of fujpre right of ways needs for expansion ot the Route 130-Route 522 overpass or for road widening in the vicinity of the proposed inn. One letter, to Democrat Herbert Wright from Douglas Powell, Middlesex County Planning Board director, said Route 522 would be part of a regional highway system according to "present plans of the county." Powell's letter said the county staff thinks a right of way of 80 feet would be required along the county route east of Route 130. It urged that a determination be made as to needs of the Chiefs Star Pinned On O'Leary 's Chest SOUTH AMBOY Capt. Edward T. O'Leary last night was appointed chief of the police department by the City Council.

The vote for the appointment, recommended by Mayor Richard Schultz, was 4-1. The lone opposing vole came from Councilman Eugene Szezsko. O'Leary topped a civil service examination for the position. He was followed by Capt. Alexander A.

Abbetiello. Szezsko, in voting against the appointment, said he had nothing against O'Leary, but he claimed that no test had been given for the chiefs job. Thus, he urged, Abbetiello should be given on the appointment on seniority. Councilman John Howley quickly corrected Szezsko and told him that civil service had certified both captains for the chiefs appointment on the basis of an examination. Retracts Statement After he retracted his statement about there being no test, Szezsko attacked civil service, claiming that it was expensive.

His sole Republican colleague. Peter Rush, defended civil service, claiming that it takes jobs out of the "spoils system," which we want to get away from. He also stated that since the residents had voted for civil service "it vas mandate." Rush's position was supported by the other councilman and Mayor Schultz, who said the people had adopted civil service and that he would enforce its rules and regulations. O'Leary, who has been acting chief since shortly after Chief John Gleason resigned last year, was appointed to the department in 1950. He was promoted to sergeant in 1955 and captain in 1961.

Szezsko and the other four members of the council were alM nn nnnosite sides when it I TT' I i jVr- If came to paying a $375 bill to the Mack Sales Division in connec- tion with the $49,000 purchase of two new fire trucks. The Republican opposed the payment, claiming it was "below the belt and unfair tactics." He asked that if the firm persisted in attempting to have the bill paid both fire trucks be returned to the Mack Truck Co. According to the sales agreement, the city would receive a trade-in allowance of $750 for each of the fire trucks operated by Mechansville and Progres i EDWARD T. O'LEARY sive Fire Companies. i When the Progressive truck A was delivered to Mack, it was I found that its water pump was not functioning.

Thus the company wanted to disallow $375 from the trade-in price. Mayer Aleck Borman of East purchase of Windsor Pharmacy, Mind, Pays Fine SOUTH BRUNSWICK -Maplewood Inn, was given approval for a use permit by the Township Committee last night to Democrats' protests that letters from county officials required a deferral of the action. The permit will allow the inn, presently located on Route 1, to build new, expanded facilities on Route 130 near the Dayton Jamesburg Road, County Route 522, in an industrial sone. The approval was given in a 3-2 vote by the Republican majority after letters from county and state officials were read and following a question by Democrats as to a possible conflict of interest on the part of the mayor, Republican Abraham Dobin. Sees No Conflict Dobin said the applicants are customers of his hotel and restaurant supplies business that he did not consider his vote-favoring their request repre PARISH LISTS MANY EVENTS SPOTSWOOD Baptized at Immaculate Conception Church was Mary Veronica wnson, daughter of Mr.

Hunter Slightly Hurt by Pellet SOUTH BRUNSWICK A New Brunswick man was released afte treatment yesterday at Middlesex General Hospital for a minor shotgun wound in the left leg.

Police said Sigmund Mueller, 26, of 175 Little Albany was hunting with several companions on Princeton Nursery property when the incident occurred short- ly before 11 a.m. Mueller reportedly told authorities that he was separated from the others whe he heard a shot and felt a pellet rip through his boot and into his calf. Police said that apparently it was the weapon of another hunter, and not Mueller's, from which the shot was fired. It was not determined who discharged the shot, however. The victim's companions drove him to thehhospital.

Rush, pushing for payment of the bill, said that the contract called for the truck to be in a "workable" condition and that the city must fulfill its contract. Councilman Jack Howley stated that when the water pump was damaged last summer, after the contract the two new trucks was signed, it was estimated that costs of repairs would be a minimum of $500 and could run as high as $1,000. Attacks Mullene John E. Mullane, the city attorney, came under attack from Szezsko, who asserted that the attorney illegally advised the council on signing the contract. Don't count me in on this one," he declared.

"I'm here to save people money." After being brought into the discussion, Mullane said if Szezsko had read the contract he would have seen that it called for the trade-in to be in the "same workable condition" as it was when it was inspected by the sales company. Both Mullane and Howley then accused lezsko of making a political speech. Mullane adding that there was noting unusual about the contract and that the city was getting off "reasonable" in this thing. As a parting shot, Szezsko urge that an ordinance be adopted which would forbid any future purchase of Mack Fire trucks. Received by the council was the resignation of John Plos-konka, chairman of the Planning Board.

He said that the tional responsibilities of his new employment and continuing his education has "made it difficult to devote as much time" as he would like to the Planning Board. The council sent the resignation to Mayor Schultz, who appoints most of the members of the board. Te Buy Lands Adopted was an ordinance which appropriated J5.000 for the purchase from the Sun Oil Co. of a strip of land adjacent to the city's sewerage treatment plant on Rosewell Street. And also approved was a resolution authorizing its engineer, Edward T.

Reiily, along with the Borough of Sayreville, to make application for regional planning funds from the state. Such funds, if they are available, could be used in designing and planning the sewer system and treatment plants of both municipalities. The council also agreed to hold a joint meeting with the Board of Public Works to work on a joint venture to draft a comprehensive mao showing all the utility lines in the city. Such a map could be useful in an emergency, ouncilman John onnors said. cept he previously had heard the coun director propose.

Fow-cll has suggested a new alignment of Route 522 to the north, Chrinko said. Chrinko charged that not only the letters but also the information in them were requested. "I don't see how we can consider conflicting statements," Chrinko said. Dobin also said he had been repeatedly told that Route 522 could not be widened because of the residences along it and that it would have to be realigned to the north. Wright said that Benjamin Sekowski, chairman of the Industrial Commission, had "expressed horror" at the plans.
