Magistrate Clarence E Kremer dismissed five complaints against Munder Cork Corporation for alleged violations of the township smoke ordinance. Assistant Township Attorney Arthur E Dienst criticized the ruling saying notices in writing were served on July 31 1950 and that the court should wait for New Jersey Court guidance on prior convictions.
