At the last meeting of the Princeton borough council, in the hallowed (now fallowed?) chambers of borough hall, volunteers received certificates of appreciation for service on boards and commissions. Mine was for years spent on the environmental commission, dating back to when Rosemary Blair and Wendy Benchley were on the commission.
During many of those years, even while being very involved in community work, I was only vaguely aware that the town was divided into township and borough. Now, with consolidation, Princeton will finally become the (one) town I thought I had moved to in 2003. Some invisible boundaries will remain--many borough and township ordinances will remain in place until they can be merged.
On a sentimental note, the last property tax check, sent earlier this fall. After today, the two halves of the Prince will have died. Long live the Prince.
