Milford chronicle., 1893-11-24
HARRINGTON

It seems strange to a close observer why
it is that our manufacturing interests are
not larger than they are. There is no
town on the Peuinlula better located for
the manufacturer than Harrington 1t
being the junction where connection Is
made for the d. NJ and V. R p, which
has a trackage of about one. hundred
miles running through a fine agricultural
country taking in Delaware, Maryland
aud Virginia, producing the cereals ana
all kinds of fruit of the finest havors.
There is nothing to hinder a town like
this from being grand centre for husl-
ness of all kinds, If there could be some
thing brought to bear upon our citizens
that would give them the spirit of i'm
provemeut. There IS no lack of capital
even here. and there are lots of moneyed
men in other sections who would gladly
come to the rescue if the ball was once
started rolling. There is plenty of room
for electric lights and water works, which
we think would pay handsomely If once
placed in operation. Property owners
are standing in their own light by not
encouraging something for the protection
of their interests. Once a spark famed
into a flame would make i'll this town
hundreds ofhomeless and hungry people.
There is no town on this Peninsula where
an organized we'll equipped FIRE company
could be organized to better advantage
The town and surrounding country IS
we'll equipped with a fiue, stout and
hearty class of young men who would
gladly enlist in any enterprise for the
protection of our homes Our town
could we'll follow in the footsteps of Mil
ford and prepare fo- FIRE in an emer-
geucy. 1 am afraid they will see their
neglect i'll not attending to this matter
When it will he too late. These are facts
that no mau can dispute Our business
interests are only lacking for one thing,
that is the finances to drive it up. There
are people who could we'll invest sutti-
cient sum for the encouragement that
would naturally revert to purpose. We
think some of our town representatives
might help the thing along; 1t does not
always require money, but sometimes 1t
requires a guarantee. These people who
are fortunately blessed with all the neces
saries Of life should not forget necessities
There are people who could be beneficial
to the poorer classes if they see lit, but
their inclinatious get the best of them
