This Day in History: 1943-01-18

At Recorder’s Court Judge J. Frank Young fined Frank Watson of Airmount Rd and Walter Vogelin of Armour Rd. seven dollars each for allowing their dogs to run loose.  Notices of the dog quarantine had recently been posted all over town so no dog owners could plead ignorance to the state campaign to control rabies.  Judge Young said the fines should serve as a warning to dog owners that Mahwah was serious about its canine quarantine.
