ASBUltY PARK EVENING PRESS (THE EVENING NEWS), WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1930 OBITUARIES Dover Salary Scottie Judged Best-in-Show At Doggy Westminister Affair Retired Educator DATE BOOK (Datebook items are announced on WJLK in the program What'a New Today at 4:45 p.m.). Wednesday, February 15 Squankum Star Club card party to School Damage Details Asked On the recommendation of David Newman, board member, the Wall Lewis, Operators Open Peace Talks (JP) John L. Lewis and soft coal operators sit down today in court-directed peace talks with government mediators standing by. An explosive air hung over the bargaining with a full-fledged strike still in progress in the coal fields.

An estimated 372,000 members of Lewis' United Mine Workers anion stayed idle in the face of a federal court's back-to-work order. Council Asks Improvements On Waterways (Staff Correspondent) LITTLE SILVEH. A campaign was launched last night by boro council to raise $60,500 in local contributions as an inducement for the federal government to undertake extensive improvements in the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers. Pledging to provide its share if other government agencies also contribute, the council adopted a resolution advising army engineers of its sentiments. D.

W. May, vice president of the Shrewsbury Waterways association, urged council to take the action it did. Mr. May said that local contributions include allocations by the state and county as well as municipal governments of Red Bank, Mid-dletown township, Oceanport, Rum-son and Little Silver. Oceanport and Little Silver would derive the greatest benefit from the proposed improvements and their shares would be between $3,000 and $4,000 each, he said.

Members of the county board of freeholders, Mr. May, told council, have agreed to consider a $25,000 appropriation. A similar contribution will be asked of the state department of conservation and economic development, he said. Local participation is required under terms of a bill pending in Congress authorizing expenditure of $375,000 for dredging of main channels in Oceanport, Little Silver and Claypit creeks, in parts of the Shrewsbury and Navesink. The bill would provide for dredging of a turning basin in the Nave-sink at Red Bank.

Mr. May said the work Is badly reeded in the Little Silver area io provide a more fresh flow of water. He said stagnation of water in the Shrevf sbury last year was to blame for the rotten egg stench that permeated the neighborhood several days, darkened white paint, tarnished silverware and brass, and killed hundreds of fish. Council last night adopted its 1950 budget after a public hearing produced no opposition. A tax rate from $65.57 per $1,000 assessed valuation to $59.59 is estimated.

The total 1950 budget shows an increase from $184,294, in 1949, to $193,442. This includes the estimated school budget of $90,982 which was increased from $77,620. Approval was given a map of Willow Park, a 25-acre plot which has been divided in 64 building lots. The property, owned by Lester and John T. Lovett, is under contract for sale to Lewis Grand-inetti, a developer.

The purchase price reportedly is $40,000. township board of education last night asked Edgar E. Rogers, clerk. to write to the Wilck constructon company to obtain an itemized account of the necessary repairs to the new central elementary schooL The Wilck firm, contractors for the new 400,000 school, had presented a bill of $100 for repairs to the school, which was damaged during a fire last year. Mr.

Mayor Cites Alternatives Mayor Smock said that it had been explained to him that Mr. Weinstein was talking about one of two alternative procedures for obtaining federal housing funds. The housing authority has adopted one plan, while Mr. Weinstein proposed the other, he said. "They go hand in hand," said Mr.

Weinstein. The real estate man said that the housing authority should have included Springwood avenue properties from the southwest corner of Springwood avenue and Lincoln place, westward, in its clearance plans. The authority's site proposal does not include the Springwood avenue properties, but embraces all those in the rear of those lands. Mr. Weinstein also pleaded for exclusion of a one-acre plot adjacent to Asbury Park village and owned by the local authority from its new building site plans.

He said he had contemplated reserving that parcel, while he headed the authority, for a playground. The former authority attache also produced a letter from N. S. Kneith, slum clearance and urban redevelopment director, Housing and Home Finance agency, which he said showed that there is no Asbury Park application for funds in that branch. "You are talking about two different things." Mayor Smock pointed out.

He reminded Mr. Weinstein that he had claimed at the meeting of three weeks ago that 'Asbury Park had no project application on file, whereas Mr. Kervick's subsequent statement disclosed that Asbury Park's application had been made last summer and an allocation had been given and planning funds advanced. Nelson Ehrlich told council the city could lose federal aid funLs if the authority's estimate of site acquisition costs proved too low. Mr.

Armstrong said he had been assured in a report from Charles G. Lumley, executive director of the local housing authority, that the local application was well advanced and that construction bids would be received before the beginning of the summer. Before the housing discussion, Mayor Smock opened the public hearing part of the meeting with a statement that council "wants to hear anyone who has business to bring before it." "But," he added, "please confine yourself to the subject under discussion." Council approved the following building permits: Mayfair theater, air conditioning, Walter Reade, 29 Main street, repairs, $1,250, and Joseph F. Stein, 905 Main street, repairs, $750. A contract for installation of a pump at the sewage disposal plant was awarded to Heyniger Brothers, lower of two bidders, for $1,636.

Vouchers approved totaled $18,003 and the Feb. 1-15 payroll amounted to $27,922. Long Branch Child Is Polio Patient JERSEY CITY. Flora Jean Ul- lery. 6, daughter of Mr.
