provisions of N.J.S.A. 45:17A-20.
In the event that the charitable organization seeks to conduct
a solicitation on any county highway or at the intersection of any
municipal road and a county highway, the charitable organization shall,
in addition to receiving the approval of the Borough of Stanhope,
also receive the approval of the Sussex County Board of Chosen Freeholders
before conducting any such charitable solicitation.

a solicitation on any state highway or at the intersection of any
municipal road and a state highway, the charitable organization shall,
