"Tho Trolley owns tho TOWN.


Under this caption the Meas and Id
| 9egtiSet INDUCED last week in a briei
romance, the result of misleading infor.
nation or laziness on tine part of its edi-
tor which prevented him from getting
verbatim the amendments made 10 the
resolutions permitting the trolley to come
/ into Milford, and the reasons for making
them. In section of the original reso.
/ lutious no provision for turnOuts was
made, and as cars cannot pass on the
same track, the members of Council sup
piled this deficiency. The section 3 was
made to conform TO requirements made
by other towns, and as it is reprinted be-
low it explains itself Section a was
stricken out entirely, as the charter ex-
pressly prohibited the company street
lighting, aud the clause was put in the
charter by suggestion Of members of the
Light and Water Commission. The next
and only change was in striking ont the
last three lines of the last section which
bound the company to accept any or all
laws the town might pass in the future
for the regulation of railways. For iu-
stance--if Town Council in the future
should pass an ordinance requiring that
all citizens of Milford should ride free
the company would be compelled to &C
cept the law. The speed Of cars was
made to conform to that of carriages in
public highways of the town. But the
whole matter is reprinted below as
amended. Hyusou, thou art lazy fel,
low but perhaps it suited the spirit Of
your dream to know as little Of facts as
would enable your pen to ell space-but
remember this-members OF Town Coun.
Gil serve without reward and discharge
the public duties devolving upon them
cousoientiously, aud to deliberately mis-
represent them is uumauly. Here are
the amended resolutions, and in our OPUS
lou they amply protect the town of Mil

thirty minutes to run from Bowers Beach
to the pier at Cape May, and a more de-

ANYBODY on the Delaware bay Five
hours were pleasantly spent at the beach,
when at 30 the Frederick started on her
return trip across the bay and Bowers
was reached Just before eight o'clock,
making a little better run home than
away from home. Unfortunately the
tide was not at sufficient height TO per-
NIT the Frederick TO at once cross over
the bar aud forty or fifty minutes of time
we're consumed in trying to gain an en-
trance to the creek. The night was q
very dark one which made the trip up the
creek rather slow but, nevertheless pleas
ant, Everybody on the excursion ex-
pressed themselves as being delighted
with the trip, aud those wEo were too
tiuid to venture out lost most pleasant
and enjoyable trip indeed. The same
ten men who chartered the boat and ran
