The boundaries of the proposed borough of Mahwah have been laid out.  In some cases they overlap with those proposed for he Borough of Ramsey, but there is a small triangular section of Masonic which is in neither Borough.  It will be all that is left of the old Hooks Township if both boroughs are organized.  The proposal is signed by many prominent Mahwah names: George Crocker, A. J. Winter, David Hopper, A. L. Clark, Thomas Tatham, H. Z. Store, J. A. Davidson, American Brake Shoe and Foundry Company, E. J. Snow, P. D. Ramsey and William Howe.
