MAKE THIS YEARS CELEBRATION
OF July FOURTH QUIET.

Now is the time for all towns or
municipal governments to provide
against noisy celebration of July the
Fourth, and not a month hence. Give
ample warning to all merchants who
have heretofore sold, or supplied, fire.
crackers, or any noise producing
thing, that they shall not be sold.
There is a reason for this, which even
the thoughtless man, woman or child
must have pressed home on them
and that reason is nationwide and
bears on all communities. For this
reason we call upon the Town Council
Of Milford, especially, and all other
towns in Delaware, to cooperate in
protecting all the people by effectu-
ally stopping the explosion of any fire
works, firearms, or other thing, until
after the end of the war. By doing
this the evil designs of people who
may be enemies of the country and
the national government, will have
Lue opportunity 10 WTeTh properly eE
cause the loss Of life, removed from
them. 1t is the unexpected that
causes great catastrophies, and for
that reason. due caution must be OBJ
served. In addition to this deep and |
important reason for prohibiting the
use OF explosives in a 4th
OF July celebration. there is the ele-
ment Of personal safety of the child
rem. Let patriotic feelings compel
the discontinuance of the explosives
on July 9Th; but, if this will not suf-
ice, make the strong hand of law and
force compel obedience. We ask the
Town Council to enforce this sugges-
ion by law or resolution, but we be-

IT is important for every person
interested in public schools, or who
pays taxes for the support of public
schools, to know just how the taxes
will have to be levied, and how the
assessments for school purposes will
have to be made. Unless the new
law is followed, there will be trouble
TO collect taxes. The old laws and
system is wiped away entirely, and
for the purpose of informing all the
people on this subject the Milford
Chronicle has printed this week, the
Tax Revision Laws and the Teachers
Minimum Salary Law, in full on the
eighth page of this paer. Read these
laws carefully. and attend the school
meetings to be held in June and see
that men capable of understanding
and carrying into effect the laws are
elected to the school boards.

a road scraper and other tools, but
the greater part was sold before the
old Levy Court quit their job. This
week the Levy Court authorized the
purchase of four new road scrapers,
one road plane and other tools. The
County Engineer went to see a dem

Court audited the books for the Coun-
ty Treasurer for the past month and
the bills before it. After
