Sun Oil Eyes Eliving Edge in Hillside Gas Station Fight
Sun Oil Company moves to gain a gas station site in Hillside adjacent to an existing station at 1489 North Broad Street. The Zoning Board ruled most land is in permitted zones, leaving 50 feet for possible development despite township opposition. Officials fear losing a fight over township welfare. A separate incident at Hillside Avenue School involved a four year old wandering into the principal’s office prompting a mother’s hurried arrival. The child had mistaken the opening day routine for his classmates.
