This Day in History: 1942-04-16

Complaints from residents of West Mahwah dominated  the meeting of the Town Board which was held at the Town Hall. Mrs. Stephen Kudrick and Mrs. Peter Jasenzak requested more street lights on Church Street. Building was ordered halted on a structure until the building inspector could look it over. The building was supposed to be a garage, but apparently something quite different is being built. There was a long dispute between two delegations of West Mahwah residents, one accusing the other of creating a public nuisance by noisy gatherings late into the night at the intersection of Valley Road and Wood street, the other accusing the first group of derogatory attitudes toward them. Committee Chairman Frank Scherer had to remind all present that only legitimate town business could be dealt with at the meeting. Personal grievances had to be settled in court. He promised that all complaints connected with Township affairs would be investigated. (Bristow)
