FERN NOT
Using CITY dirt
ON HIS PROPERTY

Il see they are saying that have
Rad dirt from the city streets put on
ny lot" said the Mayor this morning.
THAT is not true The lot does not
belong to me. The dirt Is being paid
for.
ms like this regarding that story
in the Advertiser the other morning.
The lot they speak about belongs to
Mr.. Magoen and ii is under lease to
japanese. It is near the John Ena
road and the place where the earth
Is being put in is swamp or low land.
The city carts are hauling dirt from
KaIakRua avenue and for general Inn
proyement the city could well afford
to give this dirt away to save hauling
IL.
But we amt giving II away. That's
the point. This earth is being sold "a
the people who own the lot at SO
much q yard.
so you have another story of what
the Advertiser said the Mayor did
when he didn't do 1t.

S6TH ANNIVERSARY OF
N. E. SUNDAY School

The eighty-sixth anniversary of the
Avenue Methodist Episcopal Sunday
Sch0ol OF Milford was observed last Mon
day evening, January 5th. in the chanel
IN south Milford, at which time the an
nual treat was given.
Inc school has grown to such propor-
tons during the last year that thev
could not all be accommodated in the
ehapel at one time, and hence the Pri-
mary Department was il vited TO assem-
PIE at an earlier hour, which they did at
80 CLOCK. About sixty of these little
Iolks under the care of Mrs. Salhe r.
DAVIS and her assistants gathered at
thls tlme and spent a most delightful
hour. Following this, by invitation of
John H.. Nutter, this department with
the teachers and parents of the children
VISITED the moving picture palace, where
Ihey spent a most enjoyable time.
lhose specially interested desire to thank
Mr.. Nutter Tor his generous courtesy.
Al f.3O the general school assembled
ana spent about two hours in a social
good tlme. Every one present was
served with refreshments. During the
evening the Sunday School Orchestra
rendered splendid music to the delight
OF all present. The event of the even
ing TOOK place, when the parents and
friends OF the children of the Primary
department presented the superinten-
dent, Mrs. Sallie r. Davis, with beauti-
Iul silver tea service in partial recogni-
ton of the invaluable services which
Mrs. Davis has rendered during a num-
Der Of years.
The pastor made the presentation
speech to which the recipient feelinply
and appropriately responded. Though
this was an informal affair it was voted
one Of the most enjoyable the school has
ever held. The chapel was appropri-
ately trimmed for the occasion.

MILFORD'S ANNUAL
MUNICIPAL ELECTION

The annual municipal election in Mil
ford on Monday was the most siren
uously fought political battle that has
taken place in years. and a total vote
of 446 ballots were cast. The question
at issue seemed to be to control Town
Council for the purpose of preventing
any further extensions of sewers or
street paving on one hand, and desire
to have the naming of the assessor,
who must make the general assessment
which will stand for the next four years
as the basis for taxation. Then there
was a desire to prevent the purchase of
an automobile fire truck for the fire
company, which was played upon by
false statements to influence voters.
OF course the usual political lies and
twisting of truths entered into the re-
suits; but. the people have spoken, and
the results were as follows.
The President of Council, Thomas Az
Kirby received 317 votes and his oppon-
ent, George H. Hall received 126. For
members of Council, William Roach re-
ceived 3l9 and William G. Draper 325
for the two year term to l23 cast for
c. ID. Abbott and ll6 for George Hyn-
son. For the northern district John
Horton received 3l5 and TheO. Town
send l27. Frank Reedy was on both
tickets and received AL votes; so the
next Town Council will be composed of
Thomas A. Kirby, President. VIM. G.
Draper, William Roach, B. B. Topping
for the southern district members. and
L. N. Hearn, John Horton and Frank
Reedy for the northern district.
John H. Roach was on all tickets for
Treasurer and received 442 votes.
The retiring of Colonel Townsend
from Council closes a service which was
started in 1881, and with "a short time
when he served as assessor, and as
member. he has served as Secre-
tary of Council. 1t was largely due to
his efforts that the light and water works
were established as part of the towns
public utilities, and it is certain that
the paving and other street work, in
cluding the sewer system, was brought
into being. The policy as announced by
the newly elected president will be to.
pay off the Indebtedness, and make no
further public Improvements until this
is dcne.

steamer Greensborough at her peir in
Philadelphia on New Years night,
Howard Clifton, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Clifton of North Milford. fell and
was badly injured Mr.. Clifton had
left the wharf earlier in the day and at

did not notice this and in stepping fell.

of the boat and the wharf and was
broken above the ankle Falling over
the side of the boat, his left arm struck
the floor and was broken above the
elbow. The injured man was taken to

cast and that Howard was getting along
as well as could be expected. A few
years ago Mr.. Clifton fell from a trolley

LEWES AUTO FIRE TRUCK HERE.

The people of Milford last Friday
evening were surprised to see a long,
red, automobile fire apparatus rushing
through the streets, with three brilliant
electric headlights shining. There was
no fire alarm, and no cause for one but
the handsome fire fighting machine was
brought here by the firemen of Lewes,
for the purpose of showing it to the
people of Milford, and for testing the
ability of the motor to sustain long and
continuous work and it certainly held
good all claims for its ability to arrive
with a load. 1t carries 1900 feet of hose,
chemical apparatus for eXtinguishing
fires, and sufficient axes, hooks and
other equipment to be used at the be-
ginning of fire. The truck was kept
in Milford until Saturday morning for the
people to look it over, and without com
mitting themselves, all who saw it, be-
lieved that it would be a real fire fight
ing machine for Milford.
