Handsome Houses Recently Built in
Milford.

There has been several fine residences
erected in Milford during the past year.
Notably among them the homes OF
Mrs. William f. Causey, Mr.. Daniel
Hirsch, Mr.. William Seward Simpson.
Mr.. John c. Truitt and Mr.. w. Scott
Mayhew. And many of the more pre-
tentiOus residences have been material
" improved, mOdernized and decorat-
ed so that they now present hand
some exterior as we'll as convenient
aud well-arranged interior. OF the
new residences the Causey house, very
prettily and conveniently located on
South Walnut Street and the Hirsch
house centrally located on Causey Ave
nue., are thoroughly up-tO- date modern
homes, and though very different in
STYLES Of architecture each has very at
tractive features and is much admired
by those who have given them time
for inspection.
The Causey house is from the plans
of Charles G. Fisher, architect of
this town, as is also the Simpson house.
and the Truitt house, which was erect
ed by Mr.. John w. Ratclitf, as the
property of Mr.. Henry Fiddeman Lot-
land, The Hirsch house is from plan
of Barber and Klutz and is of com
posite style of architecture, rOomy and
nicely arranged.
The Causey house is purely colonial
in its treatment, and with its well-pro'
portioned broad porches makes an
imposing appearance. The interior is
ard wood finished throughout and
the stairs with the reception hall ano
main hall reflect much credit on the
architect as indeed does the entire ar
rangement of the house. The wolR
contracted for by Mr.. B. T. Collins Il
deserving of much praise and Is worthy
of the excellent mechanics ard joiner'
of which Milford has quite number.

MUST KEEP
ROADS CLEAR.
ORDERS ISSUED BY SUPERINTEN-
DENT MACHEN.
To the Effect That the Roads Over
Which the Carriers Pass Must be
Kept in Good Condition.

Postmaster William V. Sipple has
received a letter from the office of the
General Superintendent of the Free
Mail Delivery syetem, to the effect that
should the regularity of the service be
destroyed by inatlentiOn and lack of
care bestowed on the roads over which
the carriers must pass, that the perma-
nent withdrawal of the delivery will
probably be the result.
This refers particularly to the case
where the roads are unnecessarily
blocked with snow that could easily be
removed. 1t also states it is the duty
of those who receive the benefit of the
service to keep the roads in good con-
dition. The letter reads in part as fol-
lows:
The Department looks to the patrons
of the Rural Free Delivery service, who
are receiving the benefit of the service,
to use their utmost personal endeavors,
and also to exert their influence with
the Board Supervisors, or with those
officials who are responsible for the
conditions of the highways; to the end
that the roads travelled by rural car
riers may be always kept open and IN
such passable shape that the service
can be regularl. and punctua ly per
formed. should the regularity # the
+ service needlessly be destroyed as the
result of inattentiOn and lack of care
bestowed on the highways, the p rma-
nent withdrawal of the delivery will
likely result.
Rural letter carriers are required to
serve their routes at all seasons Of the
year. and in every kind of weather
when it can be done without seriously
imperiling th,ir lives or eudangering
their cOnveyances or the Z. >. mail
which is in their custody. Patrons
should clear the snOwdrifts so that the
carriers can drive up to and reach
their boxes from their vehicles without
dismOunting. 1t is not part of the car
rier's duty to break out the roads after
a severe snOw-stOrm.
Rural carriers are expected to ener-
getically try to serve their routes, even
though the conditions be extremely
adverse, and any undue lack Of zeal on
their part should be promptly brought
to the attention of this office for such
action as The merits of the case re
quire. Respectfully,
A. w. MACHEN,
Gen'l Supt.

Another Fire.

Milford seems to have had the fire
craze lately, as there has been four
alarms of fire given in two weeks. The
last one occurred OH Saturday after
noon in the room above the Office oc-
cupied by Adams Express Company,
on North Walnut street. Smoke was
seen issuing from the caves of the
building, and the fire company was
promptly on the scene, but it only
REQUIRED a few buckets of water
to quench the fire. 1t was found that
the fire originated from pile of papers
in the upper room W ,ich had been ac-
cidentally ignited.

Two Cents to Carry a Letter on the
Rural Delivery.

Quite little trouble has been caused
at the Milford pOstOifice on account OF
the patrons having an erroneous idea
in regard to the rate of postage on the
Rural Free Delivery Route. Quite a
number of letters have been received
to 90 on the route with only One-cent
stamp on the envelope. 1t takes two
cent stamp to send letter on the de-
Ii, cry routes, just as it does to send
one out Of town. If those who have
letters to send on the rural routes would
only remember this, the trouble would
be remedied.
