in Holy Rosary Church, Woodbridge. Burial will be in St. Joseph's Cemetery, Keyport TRENTON (AP) The relationship between the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority, its consulting engineer, and former Sen. Ralph DeRose who provides legal services for the engineering firm under a $1.2 million contract, reportedly is under study by state law enforcement officials. Reports surfaced yesterday concerning an investigation of a cerning an investigation of a $15 million contract awarded to Porter and Ripa, of Morris- town, the engineering consultant, by the authority after another company represented by the former law firm of Gov.

Brendan T. Byrne lost a bid for the job. DeRose's law firm represents Porter and Ripa with a 10-year agreement for $10,000 a month or a total $1.2 million. DeRose said the high fees paid by the firm to his law office are be cause of the "24-hour service" it is provided. Records of Porter and Ripa have been subpoenaed and investigators have examined De-Rose's legal records, the Philadelphia Bulletin reported yesterday.

Last year Byrne appointed DeRose to the New York Harbor Waterfront Commission, a part-time $30,500 a year job. Until Byrne entered the race for governor in 1973, DeRose, with the backing of Essex and Camden County Democrats, was regarded as the frontrunner for, the Democratic Party nomination. DeRose finished third behind Byrne in a five-way primary. Sources close to the authority said DeRose was instrumental in getting the agency to award the contract to Porter and Ripa in connection with a $300-mil- lion Camden County sewerage project, the Bulletin reported. DeRose has confirmed that "some time ago" state investigators examined his law firm's records.

"They asked if I would cooperate and I did cooperate," DeRose said, adding, "I've heard nothing to the contrary to suggest that it was anything but a routine investigation." DeRose denied taking any role in obtaining the Camden authority contract for Porter and Ripa. He said his client competed routinely for the work. DeRose said while Porter and Ripa were seeking the sewerage project contract he personally knew only one member of the authority, John Nero, the chairman. Nero, owner of the Woodbine Inn in Pennsaucken, confirmed yesterday that he gave a three- hour statement to state investigators. Although he would not discuss the statement, its contents have been reported to deal with the offer of a state job in the Byrne administration by a former law partner of the governor.

Nero said yesterday his full story would make what has been revealed thus far "look like a drop in the bucket." He. said he would welcome the opportunity to testify before a state grand jury. His statement is said to deal with a meeting on Dec. 6, 1973 with Harold Teltser who wasj then a law partner of Byrne's. Byrne severed his relationship with the law firm at the end of 1973, about two weeks before his inauguration on Jan.

It then skipped into the southern part of town, dropping down for about a third of a mile. Joe Taylor, who was visiting -at the home of Jane Atldns, said the house "just disintegrated" as the occupants watched. Mayor John Frazier of Warren said he was asleep when the tornado struck.

He said that when his wife woke him he ran into his patio and watched the storm destroy a restaurant about 100 yards away.
