Strange Tale of Two Dinners in Fraubury Township
An endurance of civic conflict centers on a public land change near Frank P. Smith’s farm. A six‑member committee reviewing surveyors’ highway route backed by the court considers moving a stream and building a county bridge. Opponents say the plan is unnecessary and costly, while supporters point to public improvements and lower taxes. Dinner politics split Freeholders as delegates dine at Banghart’s and Smith’s, revealing loyalties and shaping the final vote on the road alteration.
