A.fterthe literary section had been disposed

We're served,
That Milford is to have an ice plant for
the manufacture of ice is now almost q,
settled fact. Last evening company was
organized with J. b. smith president and
;. John Abbott secretary. 1t is to be in!
corporated AS the Milford Ice Company
and the plant will no doubt be erected as
soon as the necessary arrangements can be
made. Some of the leading capitalists of
the town are interesting themselves in the
project and as they have already expressed
desire to take some stock as soon as it is
issued it cannot be other than success. It
is not as vet fully decided what system
will be used but it is the purpose OF the
company to put in a good, substantial
plant with large capacity which will
probably cost nearly $4,000.
The election called by authority of the
town council, to be held on Thursday next,
10 decide whether the property-holders
and lease-holders will bond the town for
$4,000 for the establishment of electric
light and waterworks plant has been in
definitely postponed The bill has not
been passed by the Legislature, but is now
| in their hands. AS soon as 1t has been
acted upon the election will be held.
From the information gained by your
correspondent it now looks as though it
would be carried by two-thirds vote.
Some contend, however, that the town is
not able to put so heavy burden as S40,-
| 600 Indebtedness on its shoulders, but
these two plants have become almost
necessity, and it will be more economical
for the town to put them in and run them
than to let private incorporation do it
| vice, The whole subject will probably he
| discussed at the citizens meeting, called to
be held this evening, in Dorsey Hall.
| Personal: Miss May Foulk has returned
from q short visit to Wilmington and New
ark-Mr. Allen Vineyard is the guest of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis Vineyard.
