Busy Ballot Tuesday With no fewer than eight statewide public questidns and thirteen major candidates to choose from in next Tuesday's election, this season's sample ballots arc perhaps more enlightening than ever. And entertaining. The entertainment is provided, to a degrfee, on the reverse side of this year’s sample ballots—which voters should soon begin receiving in the mail. For the first time this election, a state law authorized gubernatorial candidates.who so desired to state in no more than 50d Words something about themselves and their platforms. Among the various statements filling up virtually the entire flip side of the sample ballots are those containing crude language and proposals to match. One of the lesser known candidates for governor, for example, advocates a Red Light District for Atlantic City. It is the front of the sample ballot whiclj is usually most carefully considered by concerned voters, and this election year, perusal is almost a prerequisite to informed voting. ^ .

Local Toxic Dump Not on EPA List

SWAINTON - All hough it had been in eluded in the State's list of five worst N.J. toxic waste dumps, it wds learned last Friday that the Williams dpmp on *■ Siegtown Rd here, wasn't included in the federal Environmental Protection Agency's list of the 114 worst hazardous waste sites in the nation. * Local officials were shocked that the ' site was not on the list — especially since the EPA sei ctediits'target sites from in formation suL nitted by the state DEP Not included on the list, it's fairly certain that funds from the $16 billion "Supei* fund" established by Congress last year/ will not be available to clean the site. MANY OFFICIALS and environmentalists are wondering why some sites were selected — at least a dozenjn N.J. — and others were not. Some believe there were some kind of games played in putting the list together EPA officials' have said the site may not have made the list because it does not pose as great a threat to public health as others across the nation.
