Following is the text of a message
to the state commissioner of environmental protection:
On behalf of the Township Committee of the,Township of Cranford I am
appealing to you for a solution to one
of the biggest problems ever to face
the township-the disposal of leaves.
Cranford has been composting
leaves for the past nine years. Public
resistance to in-town composting
facilities and ever-increasing D.E.P.
regulations have created a great deal
of tension. The township is densely
populated and does not have land
available in non-residential areas;
there are no in-state transfer stations
willing to receive leaves; resource
recovery systems will not be
available for at least five more years
in the Cranford area; and it is highly
questionable as to whether another
state would be willing to accept this
type of refuse. It would appear that
the only alternative to a municipality
such as Cranford would be to burn
the leaves!
In planning for the 1986 leaf season,
the Rahway. River. Photo by it is imperative that I hear from you
as soon as possible as to what you
would suggest we do to alleviate our
'leaf problem. If your solutions are
not viable for the Township, I must

Like television in the 40's, and cable TV in the 60's, cellular telephone
is rapidly becoming the best investment in decades.
Now, cellular telephone is coming to New Jersey. Investors from coast

the New Jersey market.
And you can too.
Frank O'Brien, cellular phone expert and representative of The
Cellular Corporation, will conduct a seminar to explain how qualified
investors in the New Jersey area can take advantage of this unusual
opportunity.
