WITHIN the limit of our observation
there is not so neat or conveniently
arranged acanning house as that of J.
A Harris & Co., of Milford. The
method of preparing aud filling cans
for the cappers, is the quickest in use
and requires the least handling. While
the filters are the same as used in other
places, the labor from that machine to
the capper is shortened nearly one
half by the arrangement Of the tables,
etc.
THERE exists among grOcers and
dealers in Milford popular fallacy,
that distance Of ten feet in front Of
their stores is for their exclusive ben
eft, and a most suitable place to dis
play goods or bestow empty barrels
This same custom was quite popular
some years ugo, but was somewhat
discouraged by hilarious youths who
threw such loose property, when left
out over night, into the river. We
don't advocate lawIessness, but the con-
venience of the public would be ma
terlalIy enhanced if some process of
awakening the merchants to the rights
of pedestrians was put in operation.
THE practice of hitehing teams along
the eurbing of the streets, and leaving
them for hours without attention, has
received frequent criticism. Within
the past week two carriages thus left
standing have been overturned by
careless driving or runaway teams.
Both of these accidents occurred di-
rectly in front of this Office, the teams
suffering damage being on the two Oc.
casions tied to the same post. There
is provision prohibiting the blocking
of our streets by wagons, and . public
pound where safe hitching place can
be had is a public necessity, and could
be made self-supporting by light toll
This would give animals the added
comfort of partial shelter in hot, cold
or stormy weather, and If run on the
toll system would afford safety TO the
contents Of the carriages as well. and
leave our streets clear Of blockade and
the annoyance OF teams stamping and
paving the dirt of the street upon ouI
clothing as we pass, and disfigurine
the sidewalks in front Of our places o
business
