McGovern Silenced by Hennessy at State Road Probe
In Trenton on December 23 contractor Thomas J. McGovern tried to address the Joint Appropriations Committee probing the State Road Department but was silenced by Chairman Hennessy. Hennessy said McGovern’s information was already with the committee and he could file remarks instead. A minor fire alarm at editor John H. Cook’s Red Bank home caused little damage, water rather than flames doing most harm.
