Ortley Town Board March 19, 1909, etc.

First, updating a question asked earlier about painting the cross sculpture at the cemetery: Town Board chairman Elton Davidson informs me that it will be painted for maintenance purposes this spring. He also informs me that he had informed me of it earlier. Oh, well, nobody's perfect ...

In other news, Elton also returned to me the old town board minutes book, so here's another installment:
