Plans for the incorporation of i
Knollwood as a village have been |
changed, according to Livingston L.'
Biddle, II, of Pinehurst, and a new
bill is to be introduced in the State |
Assembly to organize a Sanitary Dis-,

the Chamber of Commerce will make
the presentation speech, and it is
probable that Superintendent of

Mr. Biddle, representing.a number!

that the bill could not be passed on '
