To the Editor: I would like to thank the construction workers for shoveling the snow for the residents of 3rd Street (off the Boulevard). There were about seven or eight of them. They went out of their way to help a woman whose car was stuck in the snow. Also a very nice gentleman and …
To the Editor: Seems like the results are in regarding the failed experiment that was an elected Bayonne School Board. The board can’t get anything done, due to conflicts. That is a problem for more than one reason. But the main reason is, who is looking out for the taxpayers if they all are with …
To the Editor: I am writing this letter to personally thank Chief Greg Rogers as well as the entire Bayonne Fire Department for outstanding acts of courage and conduct while battling the blaze that destroyed both my building and the clock business at 745 Broadway on Jan 19.
