The total package will cost the borough less than $35,000, according to Councilman Robert Viglianti, chairman of the council's administrative and executive committee. Although he could not quote an exact figure, Benford said the package will cost the borough just over $30,000. The contract provides for a 9 percent increase retroactive to Jan.

GLUCK Courier-News Staff Writer MOUNTAINSIDE A three-year contract giving police at least a 9 percent pay increase each year and improved benefits is on its way to formal ratification by the Borough Council. Meeting in agenda session last night, the council informally agreed to ratify the contract, which was approved unanimously by the police last Friday. According to Police Committee Chairman Timothy Benford, who outlined the proposed salary pact for the council last night, the formal salary ordinance is scheduled to be introduced at Tuesday's council meeting. "Tuesday the council is going to act favorably on the salary ordinance," Ben-ford predicted. However, he did say some council members exhibited "strong concern" about the pact because "not one member has seen the complete contract." The borough attorney has the contract now and some council members are Voorhees By GLENN E.

PORTER Courier-News Staff Writer Saying there is not too much that can be done about the matter, all but one member of the North Hunterdon Regional Board of Education voted last night to allow Voorhees High School to withdraw from one sports league and to apply for membership in another league that the school says offers better competition. Maud Dahme was the lone board member who voted against the recommendation that the school leave the Delaware River Conference and apply to the Mid-State Conference. She said last night that membership in the Mid-State league is going to cause problems. The board member said that allowing students to leave school early for athletic contests and transporting those involved to "schools that are far away," will cause problems. The Mid-State Conference comprises minimum of two hours' pay at that rate they are off duty.

"The PBA (Policemen's Benevolent Association) is very happy with It. We feel it's a very fair agreement," according to PBA President John Olock, who was member of the union's negotiating team. Under the terms of the new contract, police will receive an improved medical package in 1983, Olock said. They will also be able to accumulate sick days, a benefit that was lost last year. According to Benford, there are sufficient funds in the borough's budget to cover the contract.

The police committee will also recommend Tuesday that the Borough Council promote three officers within the department, based on their performance on tests for a lieutenant's position and two sergeants' ranks. Benford said Sgt. Herman Hafeken will be recommended to be promoted to lieutenant and Patrolmen James Debbie and John Yerich to the positions of sergeant. Mid State accord with a change that is taking place at other districts in the state because of recent rules adopted by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, the state's governing body for scholastic sports. The legislation was adopted to remove scheduling inequitities that existed between urban and parochial schools.

Voorhees coaches feel there is inadequate competition for its teams in the Delaware River Conference, which consists of seven teams. Several members of the 12-member board shared the sentiments of board member James Drautman who said he opposed the membership "from the start" but said it was better to join the growing conference rather than "be with no league at all." "This is the best way out," Drautman said. Fairgoers do eastern corner of Readington Township), but the opening night of the five-day fair did its part to put the community on; the map.

i Although the measure will only affect about four local jewelry stores and one coin shop, the merchants asked the couh-' cil to exempt coins and reduce the seven-day holding period to five. The Public Safety Subcommittee Tec-ommended that transactions under $500 involving coins be exempt from the' ordinance, but it would not reduce the seven-day holding period, Brandt said. The merchants contend that storing items for seven days is costly and that coins should be excluded from the ordinance because the price fluctuates so much in resale. The entire council will also consider the subcommittee revisions for this ordinance at the Aug. 4 work session.

Although the council approved the ordinance, most council members agreed that residents raised important questions that should be considered and possibly incorporated in the law. Town Attorney Charles Brandt said the ordinance could be amended to include the changes. The Public Safety Subcommittee has reviewed the lengthy ordinance and suggested that the fee for tape-dialers be reduced, charging $6 for the initial connection and $1 a year afterwards, Brandt to apply to high schools from Somerset and Middlesex counties, and has applications for membership from Hunterdon County's two largest high schools, North Hunterdon Regional and Hunterdon Central both winners of several sports championships.

The inclusion of the award-winning Hunterdon schools would make the Mid-State Conference one of the most powerful leagues in the state, and before all is completed, the league could expand to 11 teams. Currently, the league consists of Somerville, Piscataway, Watchung Hills Regional, South Plainfield, Franklin Township, Bridgewater-Raritan East and Bridgewter-Raritan Wet high schools. Hillsborough High School, a member of the Mountain Valley Conference, will join the league in the fall of 1982. The new 11-team league would take effect in September 1982, when Voorhees wants to join the conference. Hunterdon's switch in conferences is in But at least one distinction set apart this fund-raising fair sponsored by Three Bridges Volunteer Fire the residents wearing T-shirts emblazoned with "Where the hell is Three Bridges?"

The subcommittee also agreed to permit residents to install and inspect their own systems. The council will discuss the subcommittee's recommendations at its Aug. 4 agenda session. "It is up to the entire council to decide whether to amend the ordinance to inculde these changes," Brandt said. The subcommittee also suggested a change in the proposed precious metal ordinance, because of complaints from several storeowners.

The measure, which was tabled during the June 23 council meeting and referred to the subcommittee for review, is designed to make it difficult for thieves to sell stolen property. It would require storeowners to get identification from people selling precious metals and record their names and addresses.

Seeing himself as a down-home version of John Wayne, Turner a private investigator for various law firms broke into politics in 1966 as a Republican freeholder in then-Republican-controlIed Gloucester County. Even in the conservative county Turner cut a curious figure for a politician. A lifelong member of the National Rifle Association, he opposed gun control and welfare and was opposed to "coddling" criminals. In 1970, Turner resigned from the freeholder board after being elected the year before to the state Assembly as a conservative. Turner opposed, for instance, a bill to reenfranchise ex-convicts, explaining that the bill would increase the number of eligible voters in Camden City because he claimed one-third of the population had criminal records.

In 1971, Turner was elected by a seven-vote plurality to the state Senate and gained national notoriety by wearing cowboy boots and packing his own pistol. He was later persuaded by his colleagues to leave his gun at home. Turner was indicted in February 1973 on bribery and perjury charges for attempting to frame Kenneth Gewertz, his Assembly successor, on a drug charge. John E. Schroppe SEBASTIAN, Fla.
