Joseph Wroten and Frederick WToten
have taken out builders permit to
build on the lots owned by Mrs. Mary
e Lofand, fronting on East Front
street, North Milford, and running
back to the Mispillion River, a large
Farmers Shed and Livery Stables. This
will be the second OF the kind IN Mil
ford aud the movement to eliminate
hitching teams for hours on the public
highways, Is growing. This will give
store keepers opportunity TO have those
who wish to deal with them, get at
their places OF business, aud remove
the distinctions in front Of their doors
OF horses hitched for hours at time by
those who are not even customers Of the
store; and, whose teams drop manure
to be either swept up 10y the merchant,
or be left as filth and a nuisance until
the street cleaners come along and re.
moveit. Every iron post along Walnut
Street should be takeuaway, and every
team owner coming to Milford, should
bring a weight and a strap to fasten his
horse while shopping, and finally place
the team in shelter and care ofthe sheds,
when they are to remain In town FOR
hours Htching in front Of stores
obstructs the business Of the store, and
it is amazing that the merchant has
not awakened to the fact before this.
The enlarged farmers shed on Water
Street, and the newi large one on Front
Street, will accommodate the greater part
Of the horses and teams Of Milford.
