MILTON NEWS.

: line ought to be treated with some con-
S sideration by the company. There is
] much freight and yIpassengers from
' Milton; and yet, the conditions around
e the station house are such in wet wealth
E er, as few people would tolerate in hog
l enclosure, or a marsh farm. This con-
5 dition can be remedied by hauling dirt,
= and filling up. There was, formerly, a
something called a water closet, at the
station, but under the present manage
ment this has been removed There was,
also, a pump, this has been taken up;
and what else will be done the future,
alone can develope 1t is the company's
business and duty to repair the road
which has to be crossed, leading from
the town sidewalk, to the platform, so
that the people, who are walking, can
get there without wading Only last
Saturday morning, we noticed a lady |
coming to take the train, crossing this
piece of road, and when she reached the /
station her shoes were soied, and her
skirts bedraggled What is the company
going to do about this state of affairs

church to the depot is, also, in horrible
condition, in wet weather. This is a
private affair. This sidewalk must be
used, and we venture to say there is not
as long stretch of sidewalk, in town, in }
so bad a condition. Cannot something ]
be done to make it better for those who {
are compelled to 60 to the station And. Z
then, there is no light, on this route, I
