COURT HOUSE - Democratic Township Committee Candidate Charles M. Leusner announces that he is in favor of restoring funds to the township budget which are necesssary to operate the Public Works leaf truck. The funds for the truck were cut from last year's

budget.

"We already have the

equipment and we already have the manpower,” Leusner said, "so how expensive can it be to put this

machine on the road?" U8NER SAID he has asked to provide a

schedule of leaf pickup so that residents will know

^ mach rsr

what day the truck will visit their neighborhood. In another campaign development, former Middle Township Committeeman Joseph V. Walsh announced his endorse-

Walsh, who served on Township Committee from 1975 until 1981, said in making the endorsement, "We must see that the right candidate wins the November election so as to ensure continued fiscal responsibility in Township Hall.

escape federal responsibilities and reduce federal spending at the direct expense of my state and others, and that was just unacceptable,' ‘ Bradley declared after he and Sen. Daniel P.

eluding $40 million to New * Moynihan, D-N.Y., led the

Jersey. The administration sought to nullify a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling in July that the federal government must make the payments to reimburse the 10 states for money that they spent before 1978 for Medicaid, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, and some other programs under the Social Security

Act.

"THIS WAS a clear bid to

successful flight on the Senate floor with help from Sens. Nicholas Brady, R-N.J., and John Heinz, R-

Pa.

Under terms of a compromise worked out by the two sides, the federal government is to make all the payments over a threeyear period beginning in 1984 unless further court action changes the decision handed down in July. THE ISSUE arose during

Senate debate on legislation intended to maintain government spending at current levels when the 1983 fiscal year starts Oct. 1. The bill was needed to allow the Congress to complete work on appropriations measures. The so-called "continuing resolution" was sent to the Senate with an Administration-backed amendment that would, have barred the Health and Human Services Depart ment from payment of the states' claims for reimbursement. If that amend ment had been approved. Bradley said, New Jersey would have lost $40 milliortv that the state is entitled to

Urges Join MUA Probe COURT HOUSE - Democratic Candidate for Freeholder Jim lannone has called on the Board of Freeholders to jofin with him in asking the State Attorney General to investigate irregularities within the County Municipal Utilities

Authority.

The 'Hands Off attitude toward the MUA for ’the past 10 years has been the chief reason for the problems we are facing today," lannone said. "It’s time the Freeholders picked up the ball and scored a touchdown for the people of our county. We cannot afford to stand idly by and watch the MUA continue to go forward with plans that may be this county’s

downfall."

IANNONE POINTED out that 75 percent of federal monies are no longer available and if communities are forced to pay the large difference of funds it could bankrupt those communities. "I believe that a viable cost effective alternative would be tb allow communities to upgrade tljeir own treatment plants and control their own destiny," lannone continued.

Deaver Seeks Fair Play For Saunders MIDDLE TOWNSHIP - Renublican Candidate for Middle Township Committee, William C. Deaver, requests that the members of the Township Committee exercise caution and fairness in their handling of the Captain Saunder's

incident.

Deaver said: "While all of the details are not known to the public, Capt. Saunders has compiled an excellent record as a police officer and has been a credit to the community during his years of service. "Capt. Saunders has been commended many times by the township committee and the public for his work and has completed many courses of training offered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the State of New Jersey." Deaver said when Capt. Saunder's record of service is coopled with the respect by which he is held by the entire Township, not only its black citizens, which represents almost 15% of Middle Township's population, the^ Township Committee should exercise understanding and compassion in determining, what action, if any. they '

will take.

Deaver concluded, "Middle Townsip has enjoyed good relations in its neighborhoods and has been free of the racial conflicts which plague many communities and it woulrf be a tragedy if Capt Saunders, a symbol of opportunity, were to be unfairly treated."
