there was no coherent order or logic in the house numbering system

and properties were either duplicated, misnumbered or unnumbered resulting
in confusion and chaos not only to the postal authorities but to Township
emergency service personnel.
[Ord. No. 90-1 § I]
The Street Indexing System prepared by the Green Pond Corporation
and the Lake End Corporation entitled "Recommendations of Green Pond
and Lake End Corporation for Street Indexing" is hereby adopted and

[Ord. No. 98-18 § 1]
Upper Hibernia Road in the Hibernia section is renamed Lower
Hibernia Road and Sunnyside Road is renamed South Sunnyside Road.
The new names for said streets shall be shown on the Township's Official
