MILFORD and Smyrna appear to be
afflicted with the same municipal troubles
so far as the management of their electric
light plants are concerned. For years
the people ofMilford have demanded that
day current of electricity be served to
them; but the high and mighty Board of
Light and Water Commissioners simply
sit tight, without making any statement
as to what their intentions may be in this
direction, and let the people suffer for
want of the day current. About FIVE
designations from the present board would
help things very materially, in that it
would give the people a chance to place
men there who will listen to the needs Of
the people. If there is no intention to
grant the demand by the people of Mil
f0rd, then let's have the entire commits
sion abolished. Here is what the SMYRNA
Times has to say about the conditions
there:
When, oh when. will Smyrna get day
electric current The heat Of summer
makes demand for electric fans; the dark
cioudy days makes every home without
an electric light service wish for it; small
industries look forward to day current
for power; and the busy house wife, with
dsy current could run her sewing ma
chine, do her cooking, washing and
enumerable other things with a saving Of |
time and labor. And this is but touching |
lightly the uses and convenience of such |
a day electric current service. This is |
truly an electrical age and strange does
1t seem, that the Town Council of
smyrna, with an up-to-date electric light
plant right at hand does not provide its |
patrons with day service and build up |
an increase of revenue to the Electric |
Light Department Of the town"

which are made known. How many timid
women have suffered from similar cause,
and have said nothing about the trouble?
II is up 10 the Town Council to regulate
the use of the sidewalks, and if they are
to be rented for display purposes, then
the merchant so using them should pay a
license for the privilege to the town
treasury. If the ladies are in earnest
they. will certainly get results; for the law
certainly is on their side, ifit is enforced.

THE result OF the general elections o
last Tuesday have been a great testimon
ial from the people as to their dissatis
faction with the political conditions oi
the country under Democratic control,
and a reputation of the Bull Moose or
Progressive party and its principles.
Even in Delaware the latter was marked
and, even with the endorsement of the
PrOhibitionists, their vote was less than
half of what it was two years ago. The
great industrial centres Of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and the East joined with the
Western States in rolling up a great Re
publican landslide which nearly wiped
away the Democratic control in the next
Congress. The Republican party is rec

MY interest in the movement for clear
sidewalks in front of places of business
was keen after reading last weeks issue
Of the Chronicle. On Monday, October
10Th, while walking north on Walnut
Street my right foot caught under the
spigOt of a barrel which was upou the
sidewalk in front of Mr.. Edward Pierce s
store. The passageway was narrow on
account of the display of potatoes, etc.
near the store and the barrel being on the
outside edge of the pavement. l have
suffered some inconvenience since the
accident. This store is only one of the
many which use the sidewalks for show
cases. My misfortune was witnessed bv
a clerk of the store, who turned the spigot
side of the barrel over the gutter and left
the barrel on the sidewalk. To whom
can an appeal be made for clear sidewalks2
A new grocery store just opened for bust
ness is setting our merchants a good ex-
ample in this respect. Will not the Civics
Committee of the New Century Club be
interested and take this matter mp at

a powerful ally In their campaign to
repress the rapidly spreading live
stock foot and mouth disease epi-

Encouraging reports come from
some sections, but news of more af-
fected districts caused the depart
ment to extend the federal quarantine
to include Delaware. New Jersey and
Rhode Island. and to bar cattle ship
ments from Canada. Thirteen States
are under quarantine.
While no cases of the disease have
been found In Canada the quarantine
Is to prevent the return Of infected
cattle cars to the United States. 1t
will stop shipments Of cattle into the
United States valued at approximate
ly $s.000.0O a year.
The effect Of the Canadian quaran-
tine on the meat situation can not be
estimated Immediately. according to
department officials. 1t will depend on
whether Canadian imports have been
for immediate slaughter or fattcning
purposes.

that the disease in these States had
been brought under control. Reports
from Pennsylvania indicated that the
disease had spread.
