The hydrant formerly outside Saltzman’s store on Main Street Woodbridge, removed a year ago by the board at Saltzman’s request, will be re installed. Former Chief Markowsky says it should never have been removed and that the board did not know a filling station would replace it. The Township Committee will restore the hydrant but rejecting a demand to place it exactly where the filling station stands.
