he said, has voted for every taxing and spending welfare program proposed. "NEW JERSEY has been invited to participate in this program and we have a golden opportunity to stimulate small buafhess growth and job creation,” Mahoney said. “As members of the chambers of commerce across the stale, we should begin now in establishing high-ltrvel task forces to focus on job creation and small''*’ business growth ” Mahoney said. ‘ The biggest problem for small 1 businesses in our state and across the nation is money for expansion. Through this program we can work with our small businesses to locate this capital through private bank loans, loan pools or appropriate government economic development programs. ‘.'I am trying to establish a small business industry task force comprising members of the South ■Jersey Chambers of Commerce, bankers, accountants and’ small business ^men arid women to set our Apriorities for small business growth and job creation.”

Law Chiefs Push Vote For Prison Bond Issue

EDISON — Prosecutors, sheriffs and police chiefs agree that passage of the $170 million prison construction bond issue next month is essential jf New Jersey wants effective enforcement of its criminal laws and if criminals are to be kept off the streets. The Prosecutors Association of New Jersey, the County .Sheriffs Association and the New Jersey Association of Chiefs of Police have endorsed the bond issue. Question 2 on the Nov. 2 election ballpt. T II E I R E N - DORSEMENTS were announced by Citizens for a Secure New Jersey, which is working to inform the public of the serious prison overcrowding problem and the need to approve the Correctional ,Facilities Construction Bond Act. “Prison overcrowding literally has rea'ched crisis proportions,," /explained

rotinty P

Middlesex County Prosecutor Richard S. Receck, President afc the Prosecutors Association of New Jersey. "Unless we have more prison space we could quitTkly find, ourselves in the same

dilemma that other states are facing today: court orders to halt prison admissions or to.release inmates prematurely because of overcrowding.” •Apprehending criminals is a difficulrand dangerous job," said Catherine B. Frank, executive administrator of the State Association of Chiefs of Police. "Our tough new criminal laws have helped to deter violent crime, but for the laws to continue to be effective the state and counties need more jail cells immediately. There were 14,000 sentencings in I960 ; 22,000 are expected this year. Llnless more prison space is constructed, we can expect prisoners to be released early, returning to prey on defenseless citizens and deprive them of their personal freedom." COUNTY SHERIFFS are particularly supportive of the $36 million that the bond issue would provide for the county jail systems, according to Cape May County Sheriff Beech N. Fox, President of the County Sheriffs Association. "Today, more than 1,200

state-sentenced inmates are being held in county jails while awaiting placement in the state system," Fox explaihed. "This obviously is a primary cause of overcrowding at the county level.. “JAlIxS ARE not equipped to contain long’-term prisoners, and some county , jails' are bursting at the seams. Passage of the bond issue not only would provide extra cells to hold 448 state prisoners in the county jaffS, but it also would help counties to improve their facilities for the shorter term prisoners sentenced there. County jails throughout the state have been running at more than 125% of capacity throughput 1982. This explosive condition must be defused."
