DURING 1915 the Chronicle expects to
Issue fifty-three weekly publications.
This condition happens occasionally, but
since 1879, the Chronicle has never
skipped an issue of the paper, and while
the date of publication has been set back
because ofaccidents to the machinery, or
for the purpose of getting important
news which could not be given that week
without this brief delay of few hours,
the paper has appeared each publication
week regardless of the number of issues
In the year. We printed recently stat
ment of the number of papers printed
each week during the year Just closed,
and we feel proud of the record, and we
also realize that the people of Delaware
have a real personal interest in the ac
complshment; so, for that reason the
statement was printed upon the first page
of that paper. Every farmer who is in
terested in the prosperity of Delaware
should be interested in the success of the
local paper. 1t is the medium by which
the public interest is kept alive, and the
medium by which the activities of the
agriculturist is made known to the bal
ance of the State. The local paper can
never be supplanted by another paper,
for it only tells the personal side of the
community life as well as the public pol
icies of the people at large. Such paper
is the Milford Chronicle, and by reason
of its steady growth in circulation, it has
gone into the homes of more than four
thousand active people of this peninsula
each week. We hope to reach the FIVE
thousand mark this year.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.

Editor of the Milford Chronicle
In the issue of the Chronicle published
January Sth, was an article signed by Mr.
Louder N. Hearn, making a statement
intended to be a refutation of an article
printed in the Chronicle on January 1st,
1915, and which was signed by "James
Millman." In his article Mr.. Hearn took
occasion to make statement of an act oi
mine as public Official which statement
reflects upon my yeracity, and he certain
1y must know that most of his statement
will not be bofne out by the facts in the
case.
1 have always regarded Mr.. Hearn as
my personal friend and his knowledge
of me extends back for twenty eight years
or more.
Mr.. Hearn stated that if the story as
Published by James Millman had been
true, it would have made the members of
Council blush with shame, and indicates
that the Collector of Town Taxes was a
rarely benevolent man."
hereby state that Louder n. Hearn
knows that most fhis article is positively
untrue. Louder N. Hearn positively
knows that Town Council ordered me to
call upon parties owning property in front
of which the new sewers were put down.
which the trouble seems to have arose,
that went before Town Council and there
stated that had called upon all of the
parties except one. I stated that the lady
in question had told me that if the Town
Council insisted upon taking the SIS. 90
from her for the sewer tapping fee, it |
would leave her with only one penny, |
and to make up the amount.it would take |
a check for FIVE dollars which had been |
given TO her daughter as a Christmas |
present / further stated that had re-
fused to accept the money from her.
This statement was made before the Town
Council and it is positively true.
Louder N Hearn was the first man to
offer 81 90 to help the lady to pay on her
sewer debt, and others followed until the
President of Council refused to permit
any further effort along this line; assign
ing as a reason that it would set a bad
example for others to follow. 1 regret
that / was not in the Town Meeting when
Mr.. Hearn made his statement, as had

Mr.. Hearn stated that the Millman ar {

COMMUNICATED.

MIR. EDITOR Il would like to ask, il
it would not be possible to run in line
with the progressive policies of your
paper, an editorial asking the legislature
to take some action on compelling all
vehicles to carry a light at night after
dusk? l believe this was up few years
ago, and rejected by the Senate for some
flimsy reason.
Since the automobiles have become so
numerous, with the improved roads, it
is really dangerous to be on the road
without light.
We had horse killed here this week
which might" have been killed had
each team been protected with a light
but as neither was, and one had large
timber cart tied on the rear of his car
riage, together with very dark night, it
is no wonder the accident occurred, though
not necessarily with such fatal results
Two teams ran together at our church
Sunday night, breaking the shafts out of
one, which was probably due to one being
equipped with a light while the other
was not.
T. M. Jarvis and w. T. Mirch in re-
turning from the Jr. o U. A. VI. in Mil
ton, Thursday night, by not" carrying
a lamp were nearly run down by an au
tomobile, carrying one small light only
on its 'front.'
Trusting that I am not intruding too
much in something that don't concern
me, but that my suggestion will be ac-
cepted as the sentiment of a great num-
Der of people, though there are some who
ior mercenary reasons oppose it,
