Township to fight alcoholism with new office and funds
Hillside plans a war on alcoholism with a new office in the Municipal Building and seeks 35000 in state funds. Mayor Vincent Baldassano notes an eightyear effort by John Ottersten who will run school rap sessions, police training, and expanded counseling as alcohol problems rise in town and in court. Nearby aid for flood victims may come through federal programs. Constituents can apply at Cranford Municipal Building this weekend.
