This Day in History: 1940-08-01

Patrolman Carl DeMarco was dispatched to Young’s Road, near the former country home of Nils T. Granland, a night club proprietor, to investigate a complaint that someone was selling liquor to the W. P. A. workers there. The foreman of the crew summoned police because a New York registered car had been appearing at odd moments to sell whiskey to the relief workers. By the time DeMarco got there the car had left, apparently in the direction of Suffern. (Bristow)
