This Day in History: 1936-11-18
At the Township Board meeting a liquor license was granted to Hugo Wehman for his restaurant on Route 2 (now Route 17). He had been previously denied a license under the terms of a local ordinance which limited the number of licenses to the number of establishments already in existence. He had appealed the denial and an order had come down from Commissioner Burnett of the Alcoholic Beverages Commission directing that the license be granted. The Commissioner also granted a one-day license to the Mahwah Citizens Club for their party. The license came a bit too late since the party had already taken place on November 7th and the liquor drunk. (Bristow)
