SOMETIME ago a communication was
published in the CHRONICLE regarding
the moral condition the town. Que of
our correspondents writes taking issue
with the writer, and asserts that so far
from Milford being worse than formerly,
it is so much better that no comparison
can be made. For proof, he refers to the
citizens who knew the town forty years
ago, and who almost unanimously say
that a great improvement has taken place,
Don't let us do injustice TO our day. The
former times were not better than these,
although these could bemuch improved.
