418 Asbury Park April 28, 1384 A-'t DEP curious about drums mystery as to how they got into that trailer, and what was going to be done with them." Charles Krauss, a DEP inspector, was driving past the building on East 9th Street April 19, when he saw smoke. Krauss used his car radio to notify the DEP staff 'n Trenton, which got in touch with the township fire department. The blaze was extinguished in about five minutes, according to fireman Dick Wallace, who said two of the drums exploded and burned. Krauss has been investigating the fire, Staples said. Gilbert Carlson, superintendent of public works, said yesterday there is no mystery about the eight drums.

"They all came from the same place," Carlson said. "Somebody miscalculated." The township has been using the trailer for storage of newspaper and other material for recycling, he added. Carlson said the municipality will dispose of the drums as soon as the DEP provides guidelines. "We're waiting for the DEP to tell us how" to get rid of them, Carlson said. There is no danger, he added, of the chemical's seeping into ground water, because it has hardened.

"It's just like another rock in the ground when it hardens," Carlson said. He said he is certain the fire was set by vandals. "Nobody else could have done it," he said, adding that vandalism is common in the area. LAKEWOOD The state Department of Environmental Protection wants to know how eight of the 11 chemical drums that caught fire last week, got here in the first place. James Staples, a DEP spokesman, said yesterday the trailer, in which the drums burned, was donated to the township by Peter Pan Industries, which is located in the local industrial park.

When the drums burned, the trailer was behind the township public works building. At the time of the donation several months ago. Staples said, the DEP was under the impression that the trailer contained three drums, each holding adhesive material. "Somewhere, eight more drums materialized in the trailer," Staples 'said yesterday. "There is a bit of a Ocean County youir home.

Employees protest lack of contracts Services staged a lunchtime rally yesterday in front of the county Social Services Building, Kozloski Road, Freehold Township. They were protesting a 5 percent raise recently granted to social service administrators, retroactive to January, while the non-management employees have been without a contract or raise for 10 months. Union representatives said this is especially maddening because the administrators will also receive whatever benefits the union gains through current negotiations.

t.i But both groups of Monmouth County employees the Probation Officers Association and the Communications Workers of America, Local 1087, Social Services employees had the same message yesterday: They want their contracts settled. The groups said it was a coincidence that the two demonstrations were planned for the same day. Shouting, singing and holding red balloons, about 200 employees of the Monmouth County Board of Social Records, Main Street, Freehold, about 30 county probation officers walked off the job and picketed from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to protest the latest of what union representatives said have been several cancellations of negotiation meetings by county officials.

The probation officers' union represents about 65 probation officers who have been without a contract for 1 years. Their employer is Superior Court Judge Alvin Yale Milberg, the county assignment judge, and they are under the jurisdiction of the state Administrative Office of the Courts, Trenton. However, the county does participate in negotiations concerning salary. CWA, Local 1087, represents about 480 county employees who work for the Board of Social Services. About 60 percent are union members, according to John Loos, an international representative of CWA and the chief negotiator for Local 1087.

The balloons each demonstrating employee held were imprinted with the slogan, "Hey Lou, we want raises too, but 2y2 percent won't do." Read the Ocean County Edition every day.
