Taxpayers urged to continue support in Woodbridge Township
Taxpayers in Woodbridge Township respond to appeals from the treasurer collector and Board of Education by paying the second half of 1932 taxes due December 1. The township will transfer funds to the Board of Education soon, ensuring payrolls for teachers, police, and other municipal workers. The Board prioritizes teachers, with any remaining funds to creditors. Partial payments are accepted, and delinquent taxes and tax-sale amounts may also be paid. A separate accident report notes one man slightly injured when a car struck another on Rahway Avenue, with injuries to a passenger and the driver’s father. A seven and a half pound boy was born yesterday morning to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Neatly on Upper Main Street.
