South Brunswick’ s nopulation— now estimated at about 17,000 persons— is expected to grow to 19,000 by 1970 and 22,000 by 1974, according to this projection. The older communities— Dayton, Deans, Franklin Park, Kingston, Monmouth Junction, and the areas between— probably will grow at a slow, but steady race to about 8,000 persons. Kendall Park— now having an estimated 6,500 residents— will level off at about 7,000 by the same date. New housing developments are exDected to bring in an additional 7,000 new residents. While all age groups will increase in numbers between 1963 and 1974, a shift is foreseen in the age proportions of the population— relatively fewer pre-schooi children, a smaller proportion of adults, and many more school children appear in South Brunswick’ s future.

O l d e r C o m m u n i t i e sWhile the annual excess of

births over deaths is clearcut, most of the population increase in the Older Communities comes from a net in-migration of about 125 persons each year since 1950. The population slowly is becoming younger. In 1950, approximately 73% of the population in the Old­er Communities was made up of adults; by 1974, the estimate is 65% adults.

K e n d a l l P a r kKendall Park presents an en­

tirely different picture. Instead of the gradual increase of a balanced population seen in the rest of South Brunswick, here a very rapid influx of new popul­ation took place after 1956. By Spring of 1962 the homes had been completed and the in-migration had ceased. The young ages of the residents of Kendall Park during this period are reflected in a very high birth rate, averag­ing about one and one-half times the state rate, and a correspond­ingly low death rate of only about 2.5 per 1,000 persons. By April 1, 1963, Kendall Park contained an estimated 6,523 persons, of whom only 46% were adults.

From all reports, persons moving out of Kendall Park have been replaced by new residents of about the same age. It is assumed that this trend will continue during the period of projection. Thus, there will be a progressive aging of the pop­ulation. Pre-school children will enter school; school-age children will complete their 19

secondary education and, in most cases, will leave home, either to attend college , to enter the Armed Forces, or to establish their own homes and families. The birth rate in Kendall Park is dropping and probably will level off at about the state average by the 1970’ s; the death rate will rise as the residents grow older. In total numbers, the Kendall Park population will change very little between 1963 and 1974. However, there will be a shift in proportion from pre-school to school-age children throughout most of the period of the projection. Figure 2 shows the estimated population of Ken­dall Park by age groups.

N e w D e v e l o p m e n t s

The estimate of population which may be brought into South Brunswick by New Housing Developments constitutes the biggest question mark of the projection. Subdivisions with a potential of about 800 new dwell­ing units have received either preliminary or final approval in the past four years (counting garden apartments as the equiva­lent of 40% of a one-family home) The construction of these homes and apartments is expected to be phased through the years from 1963 to 1968. In addition, as the years go by, it is reasonable to expect that other proposals will be made and other new homes will be built.

T o t a l P o p u l a t i o n

The proportion of adults in South Brunswick is expected to drop during the period— from three-quarters of the population in 1950, to the present 57% in 1963, and on down to about one- half of the population in 1974.At the same time, the percentage of school-age children will rise. Between 1950 and 1959, children of school age made up .less than one-fifth of South Brunswick’s residents; then began a steady increase. Today, an estimated 'one-fourth of the township’ s population is of school age; by 1974, the figure may well approx­imate 35%. On the other hand, the proportion of pre-school children apparently reached a

peak of about 20% in 1960 and is now decreasing. Only 14% of the 1974 population is expected to be made up of pre-school children.

The total population of South Brunswick— now fairly evenly divided between Kendall Park and the Older Communities — by 1974 probably will be split into three roughly equal portions with the residents of the New Housing Developments making up the third group. (See Figure 4). However, because of the high proportion of children in Kendall Park and in the New Housing Developments, almost half of the township’ s adults will be found in the Older Communities.

This past November the South Brunswick Industrial Commission initiated a series of reports for distribution to local industrial leaders and other in­terested oersons. The material in this article is excerpted from the first of these reports, a projection of our population through 1974. Although the report treats equally with the three-part breakdown of population— the Older Communities, Kendall Park, and New Housing Developments — we have used ori- marily the portions dealing with Kendall Park, and the total of the three portions,South Brunswick.

NEW DAY A’ COMIN’ ?Whatever else it may bring, 1964 will be memorable as the year

when political responsibility made its re-appearance in New Jersey. We heartily applaud Governor Hughes for daring to prooose a grad­uated income tax. He has told the truth about Dublic needs in this state and has offered a bold and realistic Drogram to meet them.In the words of the Governor:

“ The public may be tired of the usual bromide of “ no new taxes,’ ’ while at the same time tasting the bitter medicine of higher local taxation and ever more inadequate State facilities. The intelligence of the people may be detecting even now the political opoortunism of those who say there are no needs, in the very face of crowded institutions, of closing college doors, of shrinking highway systems, of unjust increases in the local tax burden.”

According to Governor Hughes, a graduated income tax at one- half the New York state rates would provide $150 million a year, enough for a pay-as-you-go program of capital construction for higher education, institutions, and highways and a substantial increase in aid to local school districts.Although a sales .tax could also provide sufficient revenues,Governor Hughes wisely Doints out that a sales tax would fall most heavily on those least able to pay. Those with low or fixed incomes or with large families would be hard hit. A sales tax would also wipe out the New Jersey retailer’ s competitive advantage over New York and Pennsylvania.

An income tax would be decidedly more fair because it is geared to ability to pay. It would have the additional advantage of recap- turing some money from the federal income tax. At the prooosed rates, the annual tax for a family of four would run about $50 on an income of $7,500; $87 on $10,000; and $185 on $15,000.

Surely the people of New Jersey are no more backward or irresponsible than those elsewhere. Surely we will provide for the education, institutions, and highways necessary to a great and grow­ing state. Let us all join our voices to the Governor’ s and wake a legislature that has been too long sleeping while misery mounts.

^ c t t c z d £ d ita zDear Mrs. Reock;

Reference is made to your letter of January 15, 1964, and your request for no passing zones at intersections and bus turnouts.

Title 39:4-83 of the Motor Vehicle Statutes already makes provision that vehicles keep right at intersections and states: “ Keeping to right at intersec­tions; exception on one-way road­ways. In crossing an intersec­tion of highways or the inter­section of a highway and a rail­road right of way, the driver of a vehicle shall at all times cause the vehicle to travel on the right half of the roadway unless the right half is obstruct­ed or impassable. The foregoing limitation shall not apply upon a one-way roadway.”

It is noted that turn-outs for buses are also requested. It has not been the policy of the

State Highway Department to pro­vide these facilities for private enterprise, although consideration of their construction would be given providing that funds for construction were supplied by others.

We wish to thank you for your interest in traffic safety and find the copy of The Kendall Park News most interesting and informative. We are also aware that the eventual widening or dualization of this highway will eliminate most of these traffic hazards.Very truly yours,

STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

Harry A. Hartmann Director and Chief Engineer Division of Planning, Research, Soils and Tests

of

Every school district in this country has a substantial number of boys and girls who seem unable to profit from a regular school program. Large numbers of them, insecure and unhapoy stay in school while hating every minute of it. As soon as the law oermits they drop out and at the age of 16 enter the labor market. Uneducat­ed, unskilled and unable to find work ployed.

In recent years school drop­outs have become a major con­cern of national, state and local agencies, since we have begun to realize how serious the social and economic consequences are and will become.

School drop outs don’t just suddenly appear. We raise them at home, in communities and in schools over a long period of time. We nurture them with neglect, lack of sensitivity, lack of understanding, disappointment, failure and insecurity. We reap the harvest in broken homes, welfare, cases, drug addiction and crime.

Even though South Brunswick has its share of boys and girls who are not well adjusted to school, we’re in the fortunate position of having some time to plan before the majority of our potential drop outs reach high school age and plans to improve school programs for boys and girls both at the high school and elementary school levels are underway.

Since December we’ve been working with Dr. Jan Tosch from the State Department of Education in the development of a pilot program for a few of our high school students who are not now benefitting from the regular schedule of classes. The pro­gram will be based upon the real needs of the students, who will spend a major portion of the school day with one teacher.This teacher will be free to provide the kinds of help which each student most needs. The student will then spend the remainder of his day in those classes from which he is able to profit.

We don’ t expect any miracles, nor do we expect the program to be perfected in the near future.We do know that we’re on the right track and if successful that the program will be of benefit not only to the partic-

they swell the ranks of the unem-

ipating student, but to the entire school.

Our elementary school principals and teachers have been concerned about ways to help children who come to school with meager backgrounds. Inter­ested citizens have volunteered to help with after school study groups and have discussed pre­school enrichment programs.A group of Douglass College girls have also volunteered to work in South Brunswick. Plans are now being formulated and in the near future one or more projects will be underway in the elementary schools.

Education of children is our biggest job. The needs are great and the response from the community most gratifying.

W’e can’ t afford to overlook any ideas and any offer of help is welcome.

SPEAKOn Wednesday, March 18th, the Charter Study Commission will

hold a public meeting at 8:30 P.M. at the Municioal Building to solicit citizen opinion on South Brunswick’ s oresent form of govern­ment and on certain aspects of alternative forms. The hearing will climax an intensive study of townshio committee government that has been the first phase of the Commission’ s work-olan.

Meeting twice weekly since early January, the Charter Study Commission has inter­viewed more than 30 oresent and former township officials, both elected and aopointed.Prior to that, the five-man Commission devoted its time to interviewing consultants, developing questions for the interviews with government officials, and assembling and analyzing basic data about the township government.

Soon after the public hearing, the Commission will enter the second phase of its work. This

will involve a long, hard look at alternative forms of government and how they operate in other municipalities. It will mean both an intensive study of the law and interviews-in-depth with people participating in other types of government.

In its third phase, the Charter Study Commission will tackle the decisions--is change desir­able? If so, to what form? with what particular features? Early in August, the Commis­sion’ s report will be printed and distributed, and if change is recommended, .the question will appear on the November ballot.

At the March 18th meeting, the Commission will focus on citizen evaluation of township committee government and on comoanion features of other forms rather than the alternative forms themselves. Appearing before a number of townshio grouos over the Dast month, the Commissioners have oosed the following questions.1. Do you believe that the oresent township committee form of

government works satisfactorily in South Brunswick?

a. What do you consider to be the major strong Doints of the present township committee form of government?

b. What do you consider to be the major weaknesses of the present township committee form of government?

2. Would you prefer a form of local government in which oolicy- making (the enactment of ordinances) is handled by one grouo of officials, while administration (the day-to-day supervision of the government) is handled by some other official?(At the present time, the township committeemen handle both of these activities.)

3. Should some committeemen be elected from wards, rather than having all committeemen elected at large throughout the town­ship, as at present?

4. Would you prefer to have all local elections on a non-oartisan basis, rather than having candidates nominated and run on a party ticket?

5. W’hich election plan for township committeemen would be best?

Three-year over- lapping terms of office with an election of some committeemen every year.

Four-year over- lapping terms of office with an election of some committeemen every two years.

Four-year concur­rent terms of of­fice with an elec­tion of all commit - teemen ever four years.

6. Do you think that it is important to have a form of localgovernment in which the powers of initiative, referendum, and recall are available to the citizens?

News |briefs I

M u n i c i p a l B u d getDespite a substantial increase

in projected municipal expend­itures, the tax rate for munic­ipal purposes will drop to .45 per $100 of assessed valuation. Last year it stood at .77. A primary reason for the seeming paradox is a considerable de­crease in the Reserve for Un­collected Taxes. The Reserve together with the municipal budget accounts for the munic­ipal purpose tax rate. Normally the Reserve increases as taxes collectable rise, but last year’ s high rate of tax collection (97.30%) permitted an estimate of 95% collection for 1964.This reduces the amount needed in the Reserve for Uncollected Taxes.

Major factors in the $108,000 upswing in municipal expend­itures are an increase of $37,000 for roads, including a construction program on Major Rd.; $8,000 to hire a municipal administrator during the last half of the year; almost $9,000 more for the Recreation Commission, including a part- time recreation supervisor; $9,000 more the police;$10,000 for a capital improve­ments fund; $4,500 for addi­tional fire hydrants due to Project 2; $3,500 for the Charter Study Commission; $13,500 in additional debt service; and $13,000 for last year’ s emergency appropriation. The municipal budget totals $564,233.The budget was expected to

receive an affirmative vote from the Township Committee after a public hearing on March 6.

1964 T a x RateSouth Brunswick’ s estimated

tax rate for 1964 will be $13.21 per $100 of assessed valuation. The assessment ratio is about 20% of true value. A new component has been added to the rate this year as a result of the state-wide referenda passed last November which set the veterans

8

tax exemption at $50 and the senior citizens exemption at $80. For South Brunswick the exemp­tions this year are estimated at $79,070. This will be recaptured through the addition of .43 per $100 on the tax rate. Formerly, the exemptions were made in terms of assessed valuation,$500 and $800 respectively.Given-South Brunswick’ s assess­ment ratio, the actual value of the exemptions to the recipient will be less this year than last.

For 1964, the estimated school tax rate is $10.59; the municipal tax $0.45; and th/e county tax $1.74. For a $15,000 house, this will mean about $396 in taxes this year for non-veterans,$346 for veterans, and $316 for senior citizens.

An ordinance extending one- acre residential zoning for over most of the township is expected to be introduced at the Township Committee’ s March 3 meeting.A recent meeting between repre­sentatives of the Levitt firm and the Planning Board has given new impetus to the move toward upgrading our residential zoning. The Township Committee will instruct its attorney to draw an ordinance after it meets with the Planning Board’ s planning consultant. Although the Plan­ning Board formally recommended to the Township Committee that R-10 and R-20 residential zones be completely eliminated, Com­mitteeman Frank Chrinko ques­tioned whether complete up­grading to one-acre zoning would be able to stand up in court. In order to prevent charges of stop­gap or arbitrary legislation, he wanted the Committee to have the benefit of the professional plan­ner’ s opinion.

The Planning Board recommen­dation also called for the elimina­tion of all reference in the zoning ordinance to cluster zoning for areas 20,000 sq. ft. or under. A substantial minority on the Board protested that the concept should remain in the ordinance so that when P-20 zones were again permitted, it would be with cluster zoning.

Poses are lovely. Nobody seems able to fight on that score. But you can get into a lot of fights about just the right way to care for them. What kind of fertilizer is best? How often to spray and with what?How shall I prune them and when? Just how will I ever get all the time I’ ll need to properly do all these things?

R o s e s of Y e s t e r d a yV ell, if you love roses,

especially the fragrant kinds that seem so hard to find today, maybe it’ s time you looked into the old-fashioned roses." These run the gamut from low-growing (18 inches) Perpetual Flowering Bedding Roses to the Rosa Moyesi which grow to a huge 7 feet and are suitable for any shrub border.

None of these old fashioned varieties have the high centered hybrid tea form or the long stems needed for flower shows, but they bloom all summer long with very little care and they’re not troubled by any of the common rose diseases. Being exception­ally hardy, they need no winter protection. All types do well with very little fertilizer and when established need no supple­mentary watering. Japanese Beetles adore the flowers and leaves, but if they are sprayed weekly with SEVDM during the Beetle season, your flowers will stay lovely.

These rose types are rarely used in any formal setting but lend themselves to shrub borders, flower beds and just by them­selves to delight the eye and nose. They usually hold up well in the house.

WAYSIDE GARDENS, Mentor, Ohio and V ILL TILLOTSON’S ROSES, Watsonville, California both carry these Poses of Yesterday although Tillotson specializes in all the old varie­ties that are available nowhere else.

L e t t e r s (Cont. from p 4) discouraging, to say the least. Whatever the law may be, it is either unknown or unheeded, for the fact remains that d rives do pass at intersections. Undoubt­edly, the State Highway Depart­ment recognizes this when they want to because they have placed double lines at other intersec­tions. Why not these?

In a recent letter to the Kendall Park News, Governor Hughes said “ Commissioner Palmer has assured me that traffic engineers have the area under close surveillance and will implement all feasible corrective measures to promote greater traffic safety.” We wish we had the Governor’ s confidence in the Department.At the moment, it appears that we have reached a dead-end on Poute 27.

Is there anything we can do? Assemblyman Crabiel put it this way, “ I know it seems rather frustrating not to receive direct action but I am certain that with the pressure you are putting on and with the help of those of us in government, we might be able to convince the Highway Department to take some action on this problem.”It seems obvious that the High­way Department will not act on its own. They might possibly respond to the pressure of public concern. Editor.)To the Editor:

In addition to your recent coverage for safety measures of Poute 27, we feel something should be said of the safety for the roads in Kendall Park.

W:ith spring just before us, the streets will be filled with bikes, wagons, and small child­ren. It is most upsetting to be forced to stop the car and phys­ically take a small child from the road. W ith sidewalks and large front and back yards, we feel there is no excuse for any youngster to stay in the streets.

Parents, please teach your children to cross safely and if the child is too young to under­stand don’t allow him to play outdoors without proper super­vision.

N e w s (Cont. from p 9)Herbert Wright early in Feb­ruary to have the Township Committee consider Donald Jones’ application for a 1964 permit to operate a private dump in the township were frustrated by the Republican majority. Acting on the advice of municipal attorney, Irving Verosloff, the majority held that the ordinance under which permits have been issued in the past was too vague and ill- defined. They are expected to introduce a ‘ ‘ tighter” ordinance at the March 3 meeting.

With the refusal to consider the application, the Democrats moved that the Building Inspec­tor be instructed to have Mr. Jones cease since, having no permit, he is in violation of the law. The motion was defeated. Mr. Jones’ 1963 permit was revoked late in December with a recommendation that it not be renewed. After public hear­ings, the Committee had deter­mined that he had violated the conditions on which his permit was based.

S choo l B u d g e t P a s s e dSouth Brunswick’ s school

budget was approved by the voters 586 to 446, a slightly narrower margin than last year. Following what has become a pattern, the three Kendall Park polls gave the budget an over­whelming endorsement (by a 3-1/2:1 margin) and the five polls in the older communities voted against it (by a 2-1/2:1 ratio). Total voter turnout was 1,059, about a third higher than last year, and again was heavier in Kendall Park.

The present incumbents,Horace Orr, Jr., Richard Sherman and Alfred Kukfa, were re-elected to the Board of Education defeat­ing newcomer William Beirne, Jr.

To Put It B r i e f l y...Mathias Hollander was appoint­ed to the Recreation Commission to fill the unexpired term of Manuel Charlin, who resigned earlier in the month.

R a b i e s S ho tsActing on the recommendation of

Health Officer Arthur Bartolozzi, the local Board of Health has intro­duced an ordinance which would re­quire all dogs over six months to have an anti-rabies innoculation.

The innoculation, which would be required for a license, could be ob­tained at a free clinic run by the Board.

On March 24, the Board of Health will hold a public hearing on the measure. An ordinance regulating sewer connections will also be heard that evening.

C o r r e c t i o n sIn the listing of members of

official township bodies in last month’ s Kendall Park News, Abraham Dobin’ s name was inadvertently left off of the Planning Board. He serves a one-year term by virtue of his office on the Township Commit­tee. It should also be noted that while citizen members of the Planning Board serve six- year terms, ex officio members Frank Camilli and Willard Wilson serve one-year terms. Similar­

ly, Stanley Ackley, as the ex officio member of the Board ofAssistance, serves a one-year term.

The self-addres­sed stamped en­velope inserted in last month’ s issue was for your conven­ience in mailing your $1 for your continuing subscription to the K.P.N.
