Oil pollution hits Musconetcong and aging election muddle endures
A national oil leak from Standard Oil’s Changewater pumping station contaminates Musconetcong creek killing fish and prompting Deputy Fish and Edward Hill to threaten action. In Phillipsburg the County Board of Elections creates a mess by naming ward officers amid annexation disputes. Community notices cover social events and local names such as Thompson, Miller, Stryker, and residents from Belvidere to Lispen.
