Milford chronicle., 1911-06-02

granted BY Town CouHcil, to the COM
pany to this effect. The object of this
is to get ready to can the peas for which
they have contracted and, it is believed
they will do it. Since Wednesday of last
week men with teams have been hauling
away the remaining debris from the
burned diSuiCt-consisting mostly of
metal, and cans, many of them vet filled
with tomatoes-and dumping it into the
lagoon on Magnolia Street, which will
help to fill it up. And before this COM
muuication is read, it is probable the
burnt district will be clear of the rubbish.
The surveyor and party who are run
ming the line of the du Pont boulevard
route from below Millsboro northward
stopped over Sunday at the Jester House.
There were FIVE of them. The route they
are now surveying comes within a mile
and a half of Milton, and will 90 near
Milford. We hope this line may be
chosen but it is hardly likely, as the
party say there is more opposition to the
road i'll the locality of Millsboro than they
have met with anywhere else. The party
resumed work near the Willard Filings
worth farm on Monday
