This Day in History: 1942-01-05
The members of the Mahwah Tire Rationing Board were sworn in as Federal agents in a ceremony in Newark. Cark Hebner, Chairman and R. Ralph Seberry and Abram Valentine formed the committee which allocated tires and tubes to residents of the Township under the terms of the federal tire rationing regulations. Car and truck owners did not have much to look forward to since the entire January quota was one tire and one tube for a passenger car, one light truck and one heavy truck.
