IN the effort to cleanup Milford and
keep it cleaned up, the Board of Health
has get up against the narrow-minded
individuals, and especially that few who
have neither pride in their own surround
iugs, or in that of the town. An order
was served upon the merchants of Mil
ford to remove garbage and rubbish which
had accumulated in the rear of their places
of business, until that part of the prop
erty was disgraceful in appearance. as
we'll as detrimental to public health, and
a fiy-breeding hotbed. With bad grace
several complied, while others did the
work cheerfully and have since kept their
property in better condition but there
were few, land they still continue in
their old practice). who, after cleaning,
again started to create the same old rub
bish and garbage piles. The Board Of
Health had a run-in with one Of these |
merchants over this, and the merchant |
became indignant at the health officer,
and stated that he would have to get out
of business in Milford, if the orders to
keep clean were enforced. The reply
was of an enlightning character to that
individual, who is more or less prominent
in Milford affairs. He was told in plain
that unless he did keep his prop
erty as required by the Board of Health,
that he would be arrested and prosecuted
under the health laws of Delaware, and
that he had been treated corteously, that
notice had been given him, and he had
no sense of his duty towards the public,
in even desiring to save fifty cents each
week for cleaning mp the garbage and
rubbish. All such men need arraigning,
and being made object lessons for the bal
ance Of the people. With men of that
character dominating, no town or com
can possibly be improved, or
health conditions be maintained. The
Town Council is standing squarely behind
he Board of Health, and will see that its
are carried out; and, they
ire absolutely right.
