Union street, north of the odd Fellows
cemetery. This particular side walk is
another one Of the disgraces that prevail
in Milton. 1t fronts tillable lot and
is at the northern extremity Of the town
and. perhaps, this is one Of the reasons
why Town Council neglects to include
It within the town limits. But the res
idents Of that locality, on the opposite
side Of the street, think that they are
entitled to some consideration and some
comfort, as they pay taxes for the sup
port Of the town; and the way they are
treated in this respect is almost unbear-
able. side walk in front Of their
homes rank with weeds and grass, a
harbor and breeding place for mosquitoes
and vermn, is almost as great a nuis-
ance as can be inflicted on some people.
Town Council can remedy this evil, and
it is Town Councils duty to do so.
