THE Town Council Of Milford i
doing absolutely no work othe
than what is necessary to keep th'
streets clean and pay the police foi
their services. The entire revenue
being expended for payment Of float
ing debts and interest on the bonded
indebtedness. This policy was
agreed upon at the beginning Of
the year, and il will be adhered to
as close as possible. A few curb
ings and street crossing have had
TO be constructed, but that IS the
limit Of the work permitted The
sewer work on Lake View Avenue
and other streets, IS all done by the
property holders advancing the
money and actually building the
sewer for the taking care OF sanitary
sewage and storm water. That part
Of the sewer which passes under
the avenue where no private prop
erty abuts, will be paid for BY Town
Council out of next year 5 revenues,
as per resolution adopted last spring,
but the balance OF the entire sewer
comes directly from the pockets Of
the property holders themselves
before whose property the sewer
passes. This was made necessary by
the refusal of Town Council to build
a sewer, although the Board OF
Health had laid an embargo upon |
sewage into Silver Lake, /
and also condemned sinks and cess
pools in the yards ofall property in
Milford. There is a feeling that
in the new section of Lake
View Avenue has not been given a
quare deal, as all other parts Of
Milford where sewers were built
has been required to pay
My the sewer tapping fee, and the
alance has been charged to the
eneral fund account. In the mean
inc the greatest bulk Of the build

A decision by the United State.
Court was given last week which
makes clear the attitude Of the
legal department of the Federal
Government towards the enforce
ment Of the Webb-Kenyon bill,
which affects the shipmentof liquor
in interstate traffic. The law
simply makes the business Of
shipping liquor under the inter
state traffic laws an outlawed bust
ness. and does not provide any
penalty for infringements but, it
leaves the matter open for the
states to prosecute all offenders
against laws upon their statutes.
This simply leaves the matter in
Delaware mp to the Hazel law as a
means 10 regulate shipments of
liquors into local option territory.
