High School Vote June IO

The proposal to build a six-year Junior-Senior High School for the sum of $1 ,500,000 will be on the ballot in a special election to be held on June 10th, 1958. Kendall Park residents are in District #5 and we vote at the Cambridge (Kendall Park) School. The polls will be open from 5 PM to 9 PM. In order to be eligible to vote, you must have registered 40 days before the election.

As our readers know, our township, South 3runswick, has been send­ing students to Jamesburg and Princeton High Schools. These schools now have capacity enrollments and will not be accepting any more stu­dents in the fall of 1959- The elementary schools in South Bruns­wick are also overcrowded, and this Junior-Senior High School would make available six classrooms on the elementary level, as well as a full high school program.

Any parent in Kendall Park whose children are now in the 5th grads will immediately benefit from the new school, since their children will have a new and adequate school to go to for completion of the 7th and 8th grades. Since it takes many years to establish a well- run, efficiently functioning school, children who enter the school several years later will also benefit from a junior and senior high school to be built now. Defeat of the high school proposal now would leave our children unprovided for at this crucial time in their educati on.

$1 ,500,000 is the estimated total cost of the building, equipment and furniture. The amount will be repaid over a period of 21 years beginning in 1959- Based on the estimated assessments for 1959> these mortgage payments will require an increase of $1.26 per hun­dred in the tax rate for 1959- Because of decreases in the amount of Interest and increases in assessed valuations, the tax cost will decrease to $1 .18 per hundred in 1961 and even to less in the suc­ceeding years.The tax assessments on the four Kendall Park models and the ap-

Mrs. Loretta Marcoe's reply, appearing in the same issue, was that the "same geodetic survey puts the same 'swampy' classifi­cation on most of the area be­tween Routes I and 27 in this section. But over 1,000 homes and several township schools have been built or planned on this ground."However, examination of the

Monmouth Junction area map (re­vised in 1947) of the U.S. Geo­logical Survey, available at the Rutgers University Library, reveals that the only "swampy1 designation in South Brunswick between Routes I and 27 and north of New Road is an area roughly 3/^ mile by 1/4 mils at its widest point and coinciding approximately with the township- owned land which Mrs. Marcoe suggests for a school site.

In addition, the Engineering Soil Survey of New Jersey, a de­tailed analysis of soil condi­tions conducted by the Rutgers University Bureau of Engineering Research and the New Jersey State Highway Department, pub­lished in November, 1953* indi­cates that the soil of the town­ship-owned land is known as type "AR" or recent alluvium. The report describes draining condi­tions in this type of soil as "usually imperfect in higher... areas....In lower...areas...ex­tremely poor...." It also states that "...the necessity of keep­ing above possible high ground water-levels and of connecting with construction on higher, ad­jacent areas frequently dictates the use of fills....A high ground water table tends to keep these soils in a constantly sat­urated state...." These few quotations from an authoritative source should indicate the un­desirability of the Township land as a school site.

Mrs. Marcoe also stated in her letter that "the Township owns eight parcels, all contiguous,

forming a single unit and total­ing over 61 acres." True. But, they are just barely contiguous in the shape of a jagged "z" - not very wide at any point and probably requiring a very odd­shaped building to fit the prop­erty lines. It is doubtful that even a serpentine-shaped school would have adequate set-back from adjoining properties.Furthermore, these tracts of

township-owned land do not front on New Road or any other exist­ing road. At the present time there are no access roads suit­able for school buses.

The township dump, located be­tween the township land and New Road, is a further reason for considering this site inadequate for school construction.

Jeanne T. Reock7 Kendall Road

To the Editor:I have answered Mr. Heinz's let­ter at somewhat greater length in the Town Topics last issue. However, because of the space problem existing in the smaller Kendall Park News, I shall try to be brief. Let us judge Mr. Heinz's letter with fairness and impartiality by referring in ev­ery instance to the letter itself.

Mr. Heinz said, "Recently a letter was published from Loret­ta Marcoe and others, Kendall Park, in the columns of a local newspaper."

1. The signatures were not all Kendall Park residents. They were representative residents of South Brunswick Township. This is not a Kendall Park but a South Brunswick Township issue.

Mr. Heinz further states, and I quote verbatim, "these proper­ties, (the 61 acres to which the letter referred) were forfeited by their owners for non-payment of taxes, and the township has now taken tLtle to them. The fact they were "let go" for taxes

Page 3: Letters High School Vote June IO - digifind-it.com kendall park ne… · VOLUME I NO IX Published the second and fourth friday of every month. June . 6, 1958. High School Vote June

C A L E N D A Rand never redeemed should indi­cate their value."

2. I submit that in 1928 three quarters of the cl tv of Miami, Florida was "let go" for non­payment of taxes. Was this an Indication of Miami's real es­tate value?

I further quote Mr. Heinz's letter, "More importantly, this area is swampy and ABSOLUTELY UNSUITABLE for any building pro­gram of any kind. ' (Mr. Heinz used capital letters as indi­cated .)

3- This is a broad and sweep­ing statement. There is hardly a land area in all of the United States (no less South Brunswick Township) that is ABSOLUTELY UN­SUITABLE for any building pro­gram of any kind.

The Geodetic Survey to which Mr. Heinz refers shows most of the entire area between Routes I and 27 as swamp. Yet several schools and over 1000 homes have been built on this property. A more recent Geodetic Survey, to which I refer Mr. Heinz, shows the area in question (the 61 acres) not as "swamp" but simp­ly as 'ijooded ."We have taken Mr. Heinz's

pilgrimage. The land in ques­tion i_s not swamp! It exists, and is available to us. Neither does it resemble a checker board requiring additional purchases. The parcels are in all cases con­tiguous, joining; sight in num­ber, totalling 5l.ll acres.This is a matter, not of opin­ion but of fact. We refer Mr. Heinz to the County Tax Map, sheet 7(3 1-As shown on the record, (Re­

cording Secretary's minutes) at a special Board of Education meeting January 23, 1958, a mem­ber of the board stated that this land was being held by the township on a gentleman's agree­ment for the use of the Board of Education, as a possible site for a second Junior High School.

Is this not an indication that this land was not then regarded as ABSOLUTELY UNSUITABLE swamp?Why buy 30 or more acres of

land at an unspecified price needlessly? What undisclosed factor necessitates this seem­ingly illogical move?

In conclusion, let us all in­vestigate, question, consider the facts, then vote. With a good, large representative vote of well-informed people we are, all of us, win or lose, victor­ious .

Respectfully,Loretta G. Marcoe 4 Nassau Road

(Ed. Note: The question hasbeen raised as to why Mrs. Mar­coe 's first letter appeared in Town Topics but not in the Ken­dall Park News. The letter was submitted first to the Kendall Park News. However, we were re­luctant to print it in its en­tirety, for we did not want to devote many columns of our small newspaper to bringing up a question which, though inter­esting, is still a side-issue. Mrs. Marcoe was asked to short­en her letter; she preferred to withdraw It.We should like to emphasize

that the real issue of the June 10th election is not a vote on sites or maps but on the basic question of whether or not we want a high school for South Brunswick Township.)

MAPS! MAPS!There have been so many cross references, in various letters to the editor, about information obtained from maps of South Brunswick, that we have attempt­ed to find these maps and clar­ify their meaning.Mrs. Marcos, In her letter to

Town Topics, referred to the Township of South Brunswick tax map, sheet #31, on file at the Middlesex County Board of Taxa- ti on.Mr. Heinz, in his letter of

rebuttal, referred to the U.S. Geological Survey map, Monmouth Junction, sheet 606A_.

The following map was drawn up by an engineer-resident of Ken­dall Park. The township map was reduced and superimposed upon the geological map. Its purpose is to show the shape of the dis­puted parcel of township-owned land and its relationship to the swamp. The swamp is the shaded area.

We assume that the "more re­cent geodetic survey" that Mrs. Marcoe discusses in her letter appearing in this issue is the Topographical Map, sheet 28, is­sued by the Division of Planning and Development, N.J. Dept, of Conservation and Economic Devel­opment. It is the only mors re­cent map to which we could find any reference.

There are two possible explan­ations for the discrepancy in topography descriptions ("swampy or "wooded") about the disputed parcel of land on the two maps.

1) This topographical map is drawn on a different scale (2 1/2 miles per inch) from the map men­tioned by Mr. Heinz( 1 mi. per inch.) The swamp area is too small to be shown on this larger topographical map.

2) Although the topographical map was revised in 1955- making it newer than the geological map (revised in 19^9), it was orig­

inally drawn up between 1880 and I883. Dr. John E. Brush, Asso­ciate Professor of Geography at Rutgers University, has explain­ed that revisions since then have dealt only with man-made changes, i.e. roads, railroads, etc. Natural terrain features, such as contours, swamps, etc., have not been revised since 1883.

tha candidates, nominations were reopened at that meeting, and Mr. Sherman was nominated and elected. The other offices were uncontested. Mr. Dean Seibel is the incoming vice-president,Mrs. Dominick Spadafino corre­sponding secretary, Mrs. M.E. Harney recording secretary and Mr. William Roufberg treasurer. The new officers were officially installed by Mrs. Frederick Dawson, County Bulletin Chair­man.

Other business of the evening consisted mainly of committee reports and a general summing up of the year's activities.Mr. Bert Levey, chairman of the Fair Committee reported that the Western Jamboree grossed about $1400. and netted $627.28. A check for this amount was turn­ed over to Mr. Edward Kahler, principal of the Cambridge School. This money will be used at Mr. Kahler's discretion for various things which he dis­cussed with the PTA earlier in the year.Mrs. Frederick Netterwald,

chairman of the Membership Committee, reported that there are now 218 PTA members. About 70 were present at the meeting.

In a brief interview the day- after the election, Dick Sherman indicated that he had already begun to make plans for the 1953-59 PTA. He said that the officers would meet soon and begin to select chairmen for the standing committees. By the first general meeting of the PTA in the Fall, Dick said, he hopes many of the activities will be outlined and dates set for the major functions.

Dick hopes the PTA will be able to work closely with the Civic Association so that activities of the two organizations will not overlap but will together cover the needs of the communi­ty.

When asked if he had specific plans for new projects, Dick, said that it had occurred to him that the PTA might make a study of the necessary procedures in starting a library in South Brunswick Township.

Dick makes no bold promises of shorter PTA meetings next year, but he does feel that many problems which faced the group this year because it was a new organization in a new communi­ty will not plague it hereafter.

TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE MEETINGThe Township Committee cleared the way for a shopping center in the vicinity of Kendall Park by amending the zoning ordinance at its regular meeting on June 3rd- The area extending south from New Road for a distance of 3750 feet along Route 27 was changed from a rural zoning designation to a business area. This area has a depth of 450 feet along New Road and follows the line of the Ten Mile Run south from that point.

Steps were taken at the meet­ing to arrange library privi­leges for South Brunswick resi­dents at the New Brunswick pub­lic library. Under the pro­posed arrangement, residents would pay the township clerk one dollar and receive a card entitling, the bearer to use of the library. South Brunswick would be billed by the library for the remaining two dollars.New Brunswick library officials are reported receptive to the plan.Mayor Schaub announced his in­

tention to issue a proclamation permitting police to shoot wild dogs reported in some sections of the township. He indicated that his action was prompted by numerous complaints about stray dogs, many reported living in the vicinity of the town dump. Copies of the proclamation will be posted In public places be- "ore any action is taken.In response to an inquiry,

lights will not be installed any­where in the township until early fall. Although the lights have been on order for some time, Reichler said, Public Service crews have been busy repairing winter storm damage.

CANCER CRUSADEThe first annual crusade of the American Cancer Society in Ken­dall Park was initiated at the last monthly meeting of the PTA. Mrs. Cyril Nelson, director of the Middlesex County branch, gave an enlightening picture of the aims and work of the Cancer So­ciety.

A unique method of soliciting is being used. One neighbor in each block receives the large Cancer envelope, within which are leaflets, stickers and indi­vidual donation envelopes. The starter neighbor puts in his con­tribution and passes the large envelope on to his neighbor, and so on around the block, until each neighbor has had an oppor­tunity to donate. The envelope ultimately returns to the start­er. In this way, nobody knocks on your door for the money and nobody knows how much you have given.

* ALL-PURPOSE ROOM An agreement reached between a committee of the Board of Educa­tion and Mr. Kendall was brought up at the regular meeting of the Board on May 21st. A letter from Mr. Kendall (which was summarized in our last issue), stating the terms of this agreement, was read to the Board. It stated that Mr. Kendall would build an all-purpose room for the Cambridge School (Kendall Park elementary school) instead of four classrooms that he would have been obligated to build according to his original contract. It also stated that he would build a five-room school on a separate site at New Road.

This agreement came as a com­plete surprise to Mr. Leary and Mr. Murphy, Board members who Questioned their chairman as to why they had not been present at this important conference. Mr. Heinz, Board Chairman, explained that Mr. Kendall had called him in the afternoon offering him a conference that same evening, and he had hurriedly contacted as many Board members as he could get. Mr. Leary challenged this, stating that although Mr. Kendall does not make himself readily available to the Board of Education, they still need not act in such haste and should insist upon a time that would be convenient for all Board members.Mr. Leary and Mr. Murphy then

questioned the part of the pro­posal in which it was stated that we would give up four classrooms in exchange for an all-purpose room. They felt this needed fur­ther study, and the Board agreed that a full census of Kendall Park residents be taken to bet­ter determine classroom needs.It was pointed out that present estimates were based on the cen­sus of the first 260 families who moved into Kendall Park.Since the succeeding homes have become increasingly more expen­sive, the age level and there­fore the ages of the children might differ significantly from

those of the original home owners.There was also a question rais­

ed as to how many families would be moving into Kendall Park dur­ing the next school year. Mr. Kendall had given the Board of Education special committee ver­bal estimates which were consid­erably lower than estimates giv­en previously by Mr. Kendall's sales manager.

A motion was then approved by the Board of Education to permit Mr. Kendall to draw up plans for an all-purpose room, but the question of numbers of class­rooms to be built was tabled for further study. This decision does not involve the eight-room school that is already under con­struction at the Cambridge Road si te .

The Cambridge School PTA was delegated to do a census in Ken­dall Park, but since they learned that the Civic Association was already planning to make a house- to-house survey, that organiza­tion was delegated by the PTA to get the birth dates of all the children living in Kendall Park for the Board of Education.*The all-purpose room will be used as an auditorium, cafeteria, gymnasium and a general meeting place.

GIRL SCOUTSOn Wednesday, June 11th, Girl Scout Troop 275, of Kendall Park, will have as their guest speaker Mrs. Charles Kumpf, of 158 Ken­dall Road. Mrs. Kumpf, a regis­tered nurse, will sneak on First Aid .
