Murphy, another officer is on the way. “We have budgeted for another officer and we will hire one. We may even look ENTIRE STOCK into going into another academy to get the officer faster,” Murphy said. The five new officers now bring the force up to 30. In November, the council Fall/Winter Merchandise stated that it would hire a 31st officer. According to Murphy, the next Mon­ mouth County Police Academy session doesn’t begin until March 1 and the town­ ship may look to a county that has an ear­ lier session, such as Union. In recent years the number of police officers in Aberdeen has been the topic of much debate. The township was budgeted for 28 officers in 1994 and the force remained at 25. Many residents were disappointed with a force of only 25, given the size of the township and some of the crime that exists — most notably a documented drug problem in Cliffwood. The council has two upcoming budget meetings where it will review the budget before final approval. Murphy notes that there is no uncertainly on the status of the 31st officer, and the candidate will be enrolled in a police academy within the next few months. 1/ The five officers sworn in by Murphy were James P. Powers, Gus M. Grivas, PRICE Michael Plant, Michael A. Lasko and Raymond A. Sosa. Chief Brian G. Dougherty and Lt. John Powers were on hand to welcome the new officers. Each officer will earn $22,000; after six months TICKET REFLECTS MARKDOWN their salary will be $25,000, substantially lower than the $31,000 officers used to OFF "COMPARE AT" PRICE receive when new to the township. The new officers will spend a trial period of patrolling with an experienced officer.

The seminar, held by Schools Super­ intendent Peter Merluzzi to explain why Port Monmouth was one of five schools to be closed in the district, was attended by around 50 irate parents. The majority of the parents at the meeting were opposed to the closing of the school because they do not want their children shipped to other elementary schools with populations of over 600 stu­ dents.

On Sept. 25, 1994, the Keyport Re­ publican Club held a picnic and a party member, A1 DeAngelo, the mayor’s aide, It's Alm ost Like Stealing? asked the public works employees to assemble picnic tables in the park. They did. Graham, who was then a councilman in the campaign for mayor, asked the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office to investigate and see whether it was unethical to have public employees work for a local political party. In October, Graham received a letter from Edward Quigley, director of eco­ nomic crime and special prosecutions unit, which said that it was closing the investiga­ tion, having seen no wrongdoing. Merla, the former Republican mayor who lost the election, did not see a copy of Quigley’s letter until shortly before the Keyport Reorganization meeting on Jan. 1. He would not say how he obtained a copy of the letter, dated Oct. 17,1994. “It pisses me off that I didn’t get this let­ ter,” Merla said. “I asked Kevin, ‘Why did­ n’t you tell the council?”’ Graham, contacted at home last week, said, “I received the letter from the prosecu­ AlNlOST tor’s office. It was addressed to me. I didn’t feel like I had to show it to the council.” “I still feel what (the public works employees) did was unethical,” said Graham. “It doesn’t change my opinion. I don’t think it is proper for the public works employees to set up equipment for the Republican party.” “I didn’t go to the newspapers and make WINTER a big case of it,” he said. The letter read, “On Oct. 12, 1994, Detective Edward Finlay, of the Economic Crime and Special Prosecutions Unit of the Monmouth County Prosecutors office, interviewed the Keyport Borough director of Public Works, Ait Rooke, regarding the use of borough-owned picnic tables at a Republican Club picnic.” It continues, “Mr. Rooke stated that the 10 tables were purchased by two communi­ ty organizations, Keyport Partnership Inc.
