A strange apathy has been displayed BY
the Town Council of Milford in regard to

night. No reward has been offered for
the arrest Of the burglars, or any interest
manifested by the town authorities in
this crime All that has been done to-
ward capturing the burglars has been

yvithout the stimulus of reward. The
men who lost their property are directly
interested in the apprehension OF the

charged in showing an earnestness t'
protect its citizens and business people
from burglars and thieves, and to do thi
