MILTON LETTER

1t is up to the town officials to see
that the automobiles laws are observ-
ed. The rate of speed at which many
dash through the streets of the town
is far above the limit allowed by the
State law, and that no serious acci-
dents have occurred is remarkable
The town is without the services of
policeman and this fact is being TAX
en- advantage of by many auto drivers
There is a law prohibiting the open
ing of the mufIier in the town limits.
This law is violated by seven out of
Z every ten drivers. 1t is a senseless and
utterly useless habit and is annoy
ing to the citizens, especially about
midnight. The people are looking to
the mayor and council for the en-
forcement of the laws. and are asking
why violators are not arrested. Is it
because some of the officials them
selves are violators?
Milton certainly needs a civic or
ganization to look after the interests
of the town and community. The
writer suggests that the business
men of the town effect an organiza-
tion that will work for the industrial
betterment of Milton. At present
there is no organization to which mat
ters of commercial and community
interests can be presented. There is
now a matter of vital importance that
should be taken up. but no body of
citizens is authorized to handle it, Let
us have an organization of business
men.
