8 KLjaSvxt KFW BRUNSWICK. FRIDAY, MARCH 1973 'Mandat ory fluoridation proposal a bitter pill for some The panel concluded that there is no practical alternative to fluoridation of water supplies as the "best, broad public health measure." The commission recommended that the Department of Environmental Protection or the state Public Health Council use its powers to mandate fluoridation. "In the field of public health, particularly, the functions of a specifically qualified administrative agency should not be curtailed," tho commission suggested. The two members of the commission who voted against mandatory fluoridation were Assemblyman Herbert H. Kiehn, R-Union, and Sen.

the Middlesex Board of Health said, "We find the report very satisfying, and we anticipated it all (dung. We felt this was the decision people would make who had availed themselves of nil tho information about fluoridation both pro and con." Wagner added, "We fear the unknown, and that's where most of the fears lie." Councilman Frank Santangelo of Middlesex took a contrary view, "I aerce with Kiehn and Dumunt in their stand," said Santangelo. "I feel that everyone should band behind Kiehn and Pumont in opposing mandatory fluoridation of the public water supply, nnd that we should make every effurt to urge our Wayne Pumnnt, R-Warren. The commission said Kiehn and Dumnnt "feel that the trauma and fear of the citizens toward the stnlo making health decisions is great and realistic." The two dissenters also contended that public dental, health education would be sufficient to bring fluoridation to water The commission's report noted that New Jersey ranks 43th among the SO states in having the best level of fluoridation; that approxmately residents of the state drink natu-rallyfluoridaled water, and another 800,000 drink artificially fluoridated water, Howard Wagner, president of legislators to oppose this commission report," Middlesex1, Santangelo said, ''will pursue this thing further, and we will urge as imny municipalities as possible to join villi us in a campaign to mm-vince our state legislators to Implement a reversal of this report." Nicholas Flasnak, 'secretary of the South Bound Brook Board of Health, noted. "We this welcome recommendation will now serve to dispel the current divisions of opinion between the boards of health and municipal governing bodies." Mayor Eric Gellerman of South Bound Brook, whose council recently endorsed placing a fluoridation referendum on the November ballot, pointed cut, "The only reason I spoke out against it is that people have to take fluorides "The issue is too big to leave to each municipality," said Gellerman, The mayor added he is bringing his own "clear water" into his home for drinking.

"The better procedure would be to start all over again," board attorney Herbert Silver said after learning from applicant Joseph Dufour that Northquay, is his trade name and not a corporation.

However, attorney S. Philip Klein, speaking for Dufour, douted his client's statements were knowledgeable. The revelation came after questioning from John Hoffman, attorney for objector Dr. David Denker. As owner of the adjoining property Denker has filed suit to.

The proposed pipeline, wherever possible, will be laid in the 20 foot right-of-way of the existing line, Helmbrecht said.

Although the company already owns the original easement, an additional easement is needed for the second pipeline, although it is going in the same right-of-way. Martin Spritzer, borough attorney, explained to the residents that if they refuse to grant easements, the company may be granted the power of eminent domain to gain the necessary ground. In addition to the 20-foot permanent easement, Helmbrecht explained the company also needs a 30-foot temporary easement to accommodate construction equipment while the line is being laid. Total construction time for "the pipeline's 75-mile length will be about ii months, Helmbrecht said.

An employe of the 17 Livingston Ave. theater reported to police at 11:09 that the 35 mm film was missing.

Health boards in all the concerned municipalities have given fluoridation a green light.

During yesterday's hearing, Leahy said that Miss Bolmer "did not really recant her testimony." He said she made a "feeble effort to help Molka, her boy friend." She said she visits Molka twice monthly. Miss Bolmer, who has a third grade education, in both trials said that shortly after Morton's murder Cisson and Molka came to her house and made statements implicating themselves in the murder. She wavered on exactly what they said.

Yesterday she said Molka said nothing at all but that Cisson said "he had killed a man." Cisson, represented by Deputy Public Defender Robert Es-posito, also has started an appeal for a new trial on other grounds. They are that during his trial Leahy erred when he allowed Assistant Prosecutor Leonard Arnold to bring out Cisson was a suspect in a burglary unrelat- ed to the Morton case.

And the answers provided by three' company officials didn't satisfy the indignant' 75.

For them, it will be the second pipeline crossing their proper-tics. Buckeye already operates a 16-inch transmission linj which would parallel the proposed line. The present Buckeye pipeline carries kerosene, fuel oil anl gasoline from refineries in Linden to a terminal in Mucun-gier. Pa. From that terminal, products are distributed through a seven-state area.

The present line, according to Arthur J. Helmbrecht, Buckeye is running at capacity 7 million gallons per day. The new pipeline is needed to handle the demand for fuel that is rising at a r3te of five per cent annually, he said. Residents objected to their back yards being torn up to install the pipeline. They also objected to removal of plant growth during construction.
