WATER RIGHTS AND LAND TPAGSFER-
RED TO ITViRD N. DAVIS, KEO

This week Mrs. Hester Angeline

the land connected with the Old Mill
site at the east edge of Milford to
Edward NJ. Davis. who will cause the
property to be turned into a recrea-i
ton park and beauty spot for the peo-
pie Of Milford.
This property is located at the point
where the old ford, or crossing Of
the waterway over which Caesar Rod
ney rode during the Revolutionary
period in his famous ride from Lewes
to Philadelphia to sign the Declaration
of independence. A number of years
ago the mill was destroyed by fire,
and the water power has been idle
since. During the great rains of last

and the road has been dangerous for
travel ever since. Now Mr.. Davis will
have the damaged flume rebuilt and
will offer to assist the Levy Court In
widening the roadway over the dam.

to see that everything is kept in good
order. and swimming will be free un-
der observation of certain rules. II
was in this lake that Mr.. Davis learn

fish for "sunnies" when playing truant
from school. This can be made one
Of the pleasant pleasure spots for the
boys and boating parties. and It is
located at the very edge Of the corpor-
ate limits Of Milford.
