This Day in History: 1916-09-04
The Labor Day traffic on Franklin Turnpike was the heaviest it has ever been. The State Inspectors reported that 121 cars passed Miller Road all going in the same direction in nine minutes. Acting under State orders, Chief Vehicle Inspector Johnson and ten Inspectors assisted by the Mahwah Constables and Inspector Stagg, arrested nearly 100 violators between the hours of 7pm to 10pm for speeding and having glaring headlights. The offenders were brought in bunches before Judge Rodgers and fined $25 for speeding and $5 for other offences. (Bristow)
