TROLLEY ROAD IN MILFoRD.-Som
, people in Milford are complaining tha
the town council has given the tow
up to the new trolley company whic
is to run a road from Dover to Milford
The council first granted the compan
permission TO lay its tracks in MilfOr
on condition that it should pave an,
light the streets and do various Othe
things which have been required {
, trolley companies in larger cities, bu
never before in a town the size of Mil
ford. The Company was not satisfe
= with these conditions and so got th
council to reconsider its action an
= grant more liberal terms. This wa
done and now it is claimed that th
j company has everything in sigh
Instead Of being compelled to paw
, the streets between the rails it is a
= lowed to board them and it is not con
: PEELED to light the streets. By bOarC
: ing between the tracks the cOmpan
: can use a much cheaper rail than
could if it had been required to pay
between the tracks. Many of the PEI
s pie. however, are willing TO grant II
j. concessions to insure the building
i the road.
