THERE is duty which the peo-
pie of Milford must perform, or
they will see the river so choked
that all navigation will be impossi-
bic to the limits of the incorpora-
ton they owe it to themselves and
to posterity, that the practice of fill
ing the river with waste paper, rub
Dish and ashes be stopped at once.
Last Monday morning, a clerk from
one of the stores in Watsons Block,
,e,iberately dumped full barrow
of waste paper over the rail of
ainut Street bridge into the river,
and from one of the stores north of
the same bridge ashes have been
dumped until a large humoc rises
above low water mark at that point
The same practise has been in vogue |
on the south side of that bridge at
the entrance to the offices in the
Gray Building. This habit OIL
paper in the river, is un-
slightly as well as a menace to
navigation. Here is a chance for
the people to act promptly and save
rouble for the future.

face was smooth and had cured nicely.
She had been sore for three months so
that she could not rest night or day.
My little boy was sore all over. His
head was a solid scab. First we tried a
doctor who did him no good, but the
first time l bathed my sons head with
Cuticura Soap and put Cuticura ONT
ment on it he rested better at night
and the next morning his head was
much better. In five weeks he was
well. / cannot say enough for the

SCHOOL FIGURES CORRECTED.

In a statement issued today by President
William G.. Thomas of the East Orange
Board of Education formal announcement
is made by the head of the school body
that, through an incorrect compilation Of
figures by the State authorities clerk,
East Orange. for the year 1906 was labeled
as having the most expensive school adj
ministration, cost per child, among the
cities Of the State. The figures given in
the list as furnished by the State Super
intendent Of Public Instruction in his an
nual report for the year ending June 30,
1906, are that East Orange pays $4il4 per
child on total enrolment and $oS.W on
actual daily attendance. Mr.. Thomas states
that. through the error Of including as
expenditures the $4,000 received for the
Ashland School, which was sold to the
Church of Our Lady Help of Christians,
and the money reinvested in the new Ash
land School, in Park avenue, and the pay
ment OF temporary loans, the money from
which had already been charged up under
the various expense accounts, the figures
showing supposed expense were too large.
correct basis of computation showed
the cost per child In the city TO be $S2.lo
on total enrolment and S42.31 on actual
daily attendance. These figures, according
to Mr.. Thomas. place hast Orange fifth III
the list of cities, not first.
