Daviet Appointed Hillside Fire Chief
August H. Daviet was named Hillside fire chief by the Township Committee after a long career starting July 21, 1924. He advanced to captain in 1927 and deputy chief in 1943, resides at 43 Clark Street, and is a member of Local 35 F.M.B.A and the Eastern Association of Fire Chiefs. The promotion creates a vacancy and, with Captain Frank Sanford’s retirement, may lead to appointing about three more captains and additions to the force.

The piece notes overall vote increases in districts carried by Democrats and a swing away from Republican loyalty, with Hillside voters seen as non aligned and persuadable by candidate quality and public performance.
