UNDER the head of Water Works"
the same old writer is making his
childish arguments against the town
owning water plant. Last. week he
said:
It is a question if Milford is able at the
present time to assume a debt of $4,000,
Work is not plenty, taxes are high and money
scarce. If the citizens are willing to assume
the burden OF water for ten years, say at an
annual cost of from $500 to $1,000, let them
trv it. aud at the end of the time if the ser
vice is not satisfactory give it up, but don't
put burden on your children and grand
children that by little mismanagement may
become an incubus that will check the growth
Of our town for wears. P. H.
What an idea. Does a private COM
pany purpose to turn philanthropist,
and operate water works for the bene-
fit of the people, and make no profit
out off Ifit will pay private COM
pany, It will certainly pay the town
Milford don't purpose to run any risk
with a private company and its failure
to give satisfaction. The water ques-
ton is settled in the minds of the peo-
ple,and lis electric light they are after
now.

THE labor-saving machinery in ship
building employed by our euterpris
ing ship builder, Mr.. David Lank, is
an improvement that places him
abreast of the spirit of the times, and
greatly facilitates and expedites the
fashioning of timber for building. In
a large building contiguous to the new
vessel is a steam engine which runs
circular saw, Jig saw and planer. The
circular saw will cut plank to the
line on each edge fifty-two feet long,as
rapid as the saw can be fed; then by
simply turning the plank over it runs
under the planer, which dresses more
uniform and neat than if done with
hand-planes. leaving nothing more to
be done than to give the plank the de-
sired bevel. The jig saw will cut
curved lines in large timber of any
shaped desired, and do it better and fas-
ter than when done with the axe.
These improvements will save the
labor Of eight or ten men and vast
amount of heavy lifting. So sar as OBJ
served the workmen seem to appreci-
ate the merits of the labor.saying ma
chimes. and reason that whatever inn
proved methods expedite the building
of vessel, will enable the proprietor
to make new contracts.

parts unknown on Thursday night Of
last week John left his accounts all
straight; but he deserted his best girl
almost at the altar. He had purchased
his marriage license, and dressed in his

the wedding; but his courage failed
aud he ran away. Jahn once worked
as "the devil"i in this office, and he was
never ambitious for responsibilities.
The possibility of having to support a
wife and family was more than his
courage could stand. Good bye, John.
