This man, Robert W. Watt, has an important place in OG history. Tell us who he is.
From the history of Ocean Grove Four Score and Five. (1879-1964):
“In 1921, the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals reaffirmed the decision of the NJ Supreme Court that the Ocean Grove borough bill was unconstitutional. Robert W. Watt was Ocean Grove’s first and only mayor, serving less than one year.”
Editor’s Note: The Borough of Ocean Grove only lasted one year. The reason it was dissolved is because it kept religious blue laws, and that is why it was found to be unconstitutional. It was a lost opportunity. After that, governance was returned to the Camp Meeting. Then in 1980, governance was given to Neptune Township after another Supreme Court decision.
