Last week there were four arrests
made in Milton; one for speeding; one
for having the tag OF 1919 on too early;

One of the strangest and most DIS
graceful acts ever attempted to be
perpetrated in Milton was the attempt

they had commenced operations, and

taken is not yet known. Probably the

the municipality or State authorities
may act in the case. We refrain from
