ANGELO BRUNO, a Philadelphia businessman, was involved in negotiations for a contract to remove garbage from Philadelphia to Salem, NJ via water. He had a criminal record and associates included BEN GALLUP, who was involved in the vending machine business in Miami, FL.

BRUNO was observed driving a black sedan with Pennsylvania registration F 2562 by President J. TESTA in Trenton, NJ. His crap game in Mt. Holly, NJ is no longer in operation, according to one informant.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy is not directly related to this document, which appears to be about a land sale and dumping issue in New Jersey.

Investigations were conducted regarding the land sale, with Thomas Dickson being interviewed on October 20, 1959, by SA Poncast. A Detective Sergeant EMI DALINT of the New Jersey State Police at West Trenton, J.J., admitted to AW W. Howell that an investigation had been made regarding the land sale.

Related individuals and events include:

* Thomas Dickson: a man who was approached to sell his land for use as a garbage disposal area.
* CHARLES ACTON: a person who told Dickson that "land by people he represented 'had to have' the land" and offered to buy it from him.
* ANGELO BRUNO: a Philadelphia businessman who was observed driving a grey Pontiac in 1959.
* Councilman SAMUEL ROSE and PAUL D'ORTONA: officials who were said to be paid for their involvement in the business venture.
* Chief Magistrate JOSEPH HERSH: an official with a definite interest in the matter.

Dates and locations include:

* October 19, 1959: GREENWALD advised SA DEAN that Thomas Dickson was contacted by an individual to purchase land in Greenwald, NJ.
* October 20, 1959: Thomas Dickson was interviewed by SA Poncast.
* October 26, 1959: Lieutenant TOM CLOONEY advised SA THOMAS P. CARRIG that ANGELO BRUNO had been observed driving a grey Pontiac.
* October 30, 1959: The Newark Division advised that New Jersey registration "Commercial" X/M 9530 J is registered to the J. C. Vending Machines, Inc., for a 1957 Pontiac Coupé.

Significant events or activities include:

* Local meetings were held in Salem to get an ordinance passed forbidding any such dumping.
* An official of the City Health Department appeared and argued against the dumping.
* Rumors circulated around Salem concerning large payoffs to New Jersey state officials.
