This Day in History: 1916-03-07

A petition was sent to Assemblyman Bailey by several residents of the southernmost portion of the Township to have that section annexed to the Borough of Oakland.  Unfortunately the time had already passed for new bills to be introduced, although the Assemblyman tried to have the rules suspended for this bill.  Among those supporting the transfer were Clarence Chapman, William Hand, John Brooks Leavitt, Garret Garrison and Lloyd Henion.
