    The Sale of Atsion Furnace

    OK, so my family goes back pretty far here in "Old Folsom". We have a couple copies of the history of Folsom by Mrs. Ekhardt, they were good friends of the family. I believe Mrs. Chalmers was my mothers and uncle's teacher in the old 1 room school house near the churches on Mays Landing Rd if we...

    Atco Powerline ROW

    Not to be a devil's advocate, but why is this even an issue? The power co ROW is just that and is private property. If they choose to gate and fence it off the who cares? As long as the roads remain open such ar Old Atsion, Raritan, and Maple Island there is no issue... People want to complain...

    Bass River Fire Tower proposal

    You made a good point in your statement...MITIGATE DAMAGE. That's exactly what this conversation is all about isnt it? Mitigating damage from forest fires! All that's trying to be done is clear trees from in front of the lookout towers so the observer can actually see the area to spot, report...

    Early Location Reference

    Possibly the gauging station but that is on the Great Egg Harbor right down from the Hospitality branch. I believe the train station was in the area of May's landing road.

    Bass River Fire Tower proposal

    How are fire towers archaic? Pennsylvania just erected 22 new towers over the last 2 years! People should get their facts correct. As far as camera systems....they will not work in NJ. Our compact land area and dense population will result in fast moving fire not to be detected as quickly and...
