PLAY GROUNDS NEEDED.

That the children OF Milford are
sorely ia need OF large place In which
to play and amuse themselves is be-
coming more and more evident each
and every day. Almost daily some
child is hurt, or barely escapes injury,
while playing in the streets Ofthe town.
The children are not to blame for, al
though they are violating the town
ordinances by playing there, they have
no other place in which to amuse them
selves. What the children of Milford
need is a public playground, a place
where they can go and not be in dan
ger OF being injured. There are many
wealthy persons in Milford who could
afford, aud should be glad, to bay the
needed grouAds for such a venture and
present it to the children Of this town.
Lets get together people and get long
