Candidates for Office in Neptune Township Battle for Control
In Neptune Township the March 18 election pits Republicans, Democrats, and an independent Union ticket amid a factional split. Three township committeemen will be elected along with officers including a fresholder, collector, assessor, two justices of the peace, three constables, overseer of the poor, surveyors of the highways and poundkeepers.
