There is an ordinance in Milton which
prohibits the stopping of teams across
the sidewalks of town, and five dollar
penalty for its violation. Notwithstand-
ing the law some people do as they
please. On last Thursday team stood
across the sidewalk near the Sussex
Bank for twenty minutes while the
driver sat in the wagon and talked, and
people were compelled to walk around
the team into the street to get by; and
this team wasn't from the country,
either. This is often the case in the
upper part of the town. Now, persons
thus violating the law would feel very
much displeased if they were hailed be-
fore the mayor and made to pay So and
cost for their conduct. Better take
warning and obey the law.
