ENFORCING TOWN LAWS

The police are following the instruc-
ton given them by Town Council of
Milford to carry out the laws to the
letter so far as it is possible, and they
are certainly doing it at present.
For exceeding the speed limit and
reckless driving of an automobile, Mr..
Ketchner, of the Diamond State Tel
ephone Company, was arrested and
fined before Alderman Cannon. He
pied guilty, and it cost him only Sc
to square himself. for the first offence
and he was warned not to break the
laws again.
Sixty citizens were summoned to ap-
pear before the Alderman by the po-
lice for failure to clean off the snow
from their pavements within six
hours after the storm had stopped.
The hearing will continue until the
cases are disposed OF and the fines
paid over into the treasury.

CAULK CLUB NOTES.

The club, through this column, wish
es to thank the people of Milford for
their hearty support m the minstrels
and trusts that every one was pleased
with the production. II is only fair
to apprise the people of the financial
end of II, since one object of the show
was to enable the Club to furnish a
room in the Milford Emergency Hos
pital. The receipts at Milford were
$152.S0. The expenses, including the
salary of the director. were SS3.55,
leaving a balance of S6925, Of which
so per cent is devoted to the hospital
fund. This amount does not repre-
sent the Clubs entire contribution to
this cause; it is but an addition to the
fund in hand. At Frederica on Thurs
day night last, the Minstrels played
to a capacity house, for the benefit of
the A. o. u W. band. Tonight they
play at Harrington, and this is the
farewell engagement. Several towns
have communicated with US, Offering
great inducements to play, but owing
to the uncertain conditions of the
weather, and the pressure of business,
we have been Obliged to refuse all Of
fers.
The regular monthly business meet !
ing of the club was held on Tuesday
evening last The Minstrels were the |
main item of business. The President |
stated that a committee would be ap- /
pointed to take up with the hospital /
the question of furnishing 4
! room, and a desire was expressed I
hat this room be fitted out complete
