MORE FROM THE EVERYTHING CROTON MAILBOX, ANOTHER DIRECTORY REQUEST AND...

From the Everything Croton mailbox, a request seeking online village directories for Croton 1914 and Ossining, also 1914.

Response: Sorry....don't think there is a Croton directory for 1914 online anywhere but your best bet is to contact THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY at  archivist@crotonhistoricalsociety.org

For Ossining directories, you should really contact THE OSSINING HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM.  

Good luck.

In light of Cuomo's recent pardon/clemency for assorted murderers, etal the Brinks robbery, etc., a resident was reminded of a local letter that appeared in the Gazette a "few years ago"---and asked for the link---here it is:

To the editor:  Why are our politicians so fond of cop-killers? This past week we saw the disturbing attitude expressed in Albany and here in Croton.

Edward O’Grady and Officer Waverly Brown, along with Brinks guard Peter Paige.  READ MORE AT http://www.crotonunited.org/news-views/2019/4/28/why-are-our-politicians-so-fond-of-cop-killers

To the reader seeking info a recent Washington Square article that appeared here---that link is no longer live---this one is:

       ‘Racist piece of s—t’: Washington Square Park meeting descends into chaos....A Greenwich Village community board meeting descended into chaos Wednesday night as anti-cop protesters repeatedly yelled at local officials and NYPD officers — at one point calling the commander of the local police precinct “a racist piece of s—t.”  The unruly attendees argued with officials and older local residents about whether or not cops should crack down on late-night, wild parties inside Washington Square Park at the Community Board 2 meeting, which was promoted by police oversight activists.  A majority of participants were rowdy and disruptive as they accused cops of targeting minorities and using excessive tactics to enforce a midnight curfew in the park.
