MILTON NEWS.

We should be unreasonable to expect the COM
plete rehabilitation OF town until RECEIVERS from
its recent disaster. In this sense the recovery and
the rehabilitation may not. only. be considered as
sinonomymous words but as implying, altogether,
the same thing. While we are getting along very
fairly, and recovering our status quo slowly. we,
are yet gradually emerging into better condition,
and when fairly grown up ond
manhood, we shall far exceed our status quo we
may almost say We shall be new town, at heart
in that which was the burned district But as all
must know, this new work has cost a grand effort !;
and 10 yet costing mental, and financial anxiety to
many How much 1t is impossible sor we who,
only, view the situation afaI oh-so to speak-can
tell. Yet sympathize with these men, who sill
emily and without oseniation are trying to retrieve
their losses. And to do this amid the many mon
opoies OF the day, IS not easy task. Il must be
remembered that in the great confagraon that vis-
tied Milton on the 18th OF August 1909 Some OF
our citizens lost nearly their all. They oathe
to acknowledge this fact. yet the fact exists the
knowledge OF many, and without any demerit to
themselves. And to this reason we may ascribe
part OF the sowness OF the work OF reconstruction.
And, another reason is part, and the most pTomi-
part, OF the burnt district is in such condition
l. it is in the possession OF benehciaries who will
do nothing toward rebuilding the property We
cannot blame them for that OF course; but surely
the heirs 90 the property and the present beneh-
ciaTies might come to some kind OF an agreement
whereby the property might be rebuilt and the i'm
] provement OF the town proceed: he buildings
that occupy the sites OF the old burnt wooden
structures truly credit to the owners and
thereof, but until the sites mentioned above, and
burnt district are built upon, the town will not be
rehabihtated properly, l. e. the land made vacant
by the FIRE will not be all built upon.
