Veterans push for memorial building plans revised for War Memorial
Veterans seek partial township funding to cover about half of a proposed 40 000 War Memorial Building cost with a December 8 architect revision and December 20 conference set. The project faces zoning and lot access questions amid concerns over traffic and residential character in Hillside Avenue and Route 29 corridors.

Contested Rumblings Strain Local Political Power
The piece notes longstanding rumblings within a party and suggests some henchmen faced pressure but failed to quiet the unrest. It questions whether proper leverage was used and concludes efforts were inadequate or misdirected as results show the insistent opposition persisted.
Township weighs abatement demand over alleged zoning breach
Milton B. Conford seeks direct action by the Township Committee or a $100 daily suit for an alleged 10‑foot rear yard violation at a Route 29 building for Buchanan Electrical Products Corp. Building permits allow continued construction and a later breach claim is labeled anticipatory by Township Attorney Emil A. Herrigel. Residents fear Hillside avenue frontage could become an industrial truck ingress route, but officials note setbacks primarily ensure police and fire protection.
