In 1938, Caspar Kaffke of the South Road appealed to the Chester Township Committee to repair the South Road. Chairman William Woodruff explained that the Herrick Road Act required Kaffke to apply for aid to the Board of Freeholders. Further, such an application would need to take place five months later.
