This Day in History: 1959-10-15
At the Township Committee meeting the plan to create a recreational park at the corner of Airmount Road and East Mahwah Road moved a step further when a resolution was introduced to construct a dam and spillway on the property to create a skating pond. The resolution introduced my Mrs. Janet Herlihy was supported by Committeeman Bruce E. Sockman on the grounds that it would be a good conservation project. The resolution proposed to spend no more than $7,500 on the project which was to be just west of the Sam Braen Little League field. (Bristow)
