School bus dispute in Manahawkin, 1916
NEW JERSEY COURIER 16 OCT 1916
It is a strange day when Manahawkin can't have some school trouble to bob up and annoy folks. Just now the people in the Beachview section think they didn't get a square deal when it came to transporting their children to the Manahawkin school. J.C. Dougan wanted to make a bid and asserts he was frozen out. He says in effect that on September 6 he was told at a board meeting that no contract for transporting the Beachview children had been given the school; after school opened and Wm. B. Paul was transporting the pupils, Dougan says he again inquired and was told at another board meeting that Paul was given the contract on August 10. Dougan further says that Mr. and Mrs. John Coval, Mrs. Vosbean and Miss Elizabeth Houston heard the conversation and will back him up.
Meantime the village school is getting along with no trouble under former Sherriff Frank Tilton as principal, and the village folks are hoping that their troubles at this school will now be straightened out with a firm but tactful hand. Sheriff Tilton moved here this week for the winter.
