State Legislature Expands Boards and Armories
The legislature advances a wave of measures including creating two new state boards to regulate barbers and undertakers, funding armories for Essex troops in Newark and Plainfield, and extending the executive mansion and state house grounds. Debates rail against treasury drains, normal schools, and growing militia costs while Governor Murphy backs separate boards and broader elective offices.
