BREAKING CIDER ORDINANCE.

That the Milford cider ordinance which
was passed few weeks ago and which
caused many merchants here to abandon
the sale of that article without regard
to whether it was sweet or hard cider,
is being openly violated here by persons
who are not residents of Milford but
who live within the vicinity of the
town. OF course, it is presumption
that the offender is ignorant of the law
and therefore we take this opportunity
to set all persons on the right path
concerning the said ordinance that they
may not suffer the humiliation of being
the first one arrested for the violation
of the town ordinance The following
is the section of the ordinance that
applies to those living outside the town,
or in the town which have no known
place of business The sale of cider,
beerine, malt hop, or any other bever-
age containing alcohol, within the town
of Milford, is hereby declared anuisance.
Any person or persons who shall sell
cider, beerine, malt hop, or any other
beverage containing alcohol in said town
shall, upon conviction thereof before
the Alderman. forfeit and pay fine of
not exceeding S25.0 90 and the costs of
prosecution for each and every Offense.
In default Of prompt payment Of the
fines and cost imposed under the
ordinance, the offender or offenders
shall be imprisoned for period of not
sss than ten days and not more than
thirty days -

MILFORD HAS ANOTHER
SWORN POLICE OFFICER

Milford Town Council at its regular
meeting last Monday night acted upon
some very important matters of general
interest. The regular business occupied
considerable time. as there were bills to
pass upon, but when this was completed
the members devoted the balance of the
evening to considering an ordinance to
regulate the conditions under which the
Diamond State Telephone Company was
to operate its lines and business in the
town of Milford. After general discus
sion, the company agreed to extend the
zone of free tolls to the Milford office
so that Frederick. FELTON, and Harring-
ton shall be brought into the Milford
zone, and then a new ordinance was
adopted, which more completely regu-
lates the operations of the corporation
in the town limits.
The next matter under consideration
was the acceptance of the strip of land
rendered by Mrs. Rhoda ROudebush to
the town so that North Street can be
Widened, and by unanimous vote of the
members, the Highway Committee was
directed to comply with the conditions
imposed by Mrs. Roudebush, and make
the improvement by resetting the curb
ment on the new line.
The Colored Peoples League, which
has for its purpose the maintanence of
the peace and good order by the citizens
of the negro race in the town of Milford,
sent a large delegation of representa-
tive colored men before Council, who
presented their case and desires to that
body effectively. They desire to have
4 ov,I .AhoV. lorrr haool
ing people of both races who have Op-
Grated largely in the Fourth Ward broken
I'D. and the brawlers and disturbers of
the peace at night, in that part OF the
town where the cOlOred people largely
reside, be compelled to respect the rights
of others generally. To accomplish this
it was deemed the most effective way
to have a cOlOred policeman to patrol
that part of the town especially, and
with this in view Council voted without
a dissenting vote to appoint such a po-
liceman at once, if the colored league
could recommend such a man. This they
agreed to do. and recommended that
Charles J. Shockley be given the posi-
ton, subject to the regulations made
for all other police officers of the town.
The appointment was promptly made,
and he was sworn into Office the follow
ing morning.. This is the first colOred
man to be appointed to the police force
of Milford in twenty years. The last 7
man to occupy this position was John
Wesley Fountain. who died in office, and
who was a very efficient officer, and
controlled the district over which he was /
placed with satisfaction to the town.
Another petition to pave Franklin /.
Street. between Front and Second, with .
concrete. was presented to Council, but
it was deemed inexpedient to attempt .
to have this work done, as the season Is ]
too far advanced to get it completed be-
fore cold weather shuts in. 1t was post .
poned until next seasons work opens.

OYSTERS FINE QUALITY.

The supply of Mispillion oysters was
never finer favored than they are this
season, but for some reason the supply
in Milford market has not been large.
1t is suggested by those who remember
how the oysters from the Mispillion River
have been caught and taken from it to
points outside the mouth Of that river
to other towns. and even sold in boat
loads to buyers from up the bay for
planting purposes, that this may be the
reason why the supply has been so lin
tied. 1t is unlawful to catch oysters in
the Mispillion and take them out the
mouth of that stream for sale, and if
the Oystermen will see that this law is
carried out, they will have profitable
market for the entire season for their
labor in tonging Enforce the laws, and
see how well everybody will be pleased
at the result.

posed that Seward Simpson, of Sakimas
Tribe. in Milford will be chosen as one
