Governor Vetoes Bill To Keep East Greenbush Four Justices
Gov Harriman vetoed a measure to allow East Greenbush to retain four justices of the peace. The bill, sponsored by Sen Henry Nedde and Assemblyman Thomas Brown, would defy statewide limits requiring two justices in second class towns. Proponents argued heavy traffic along a major north south highway necessitated four justices.
