MILFORD SHORTON
MUNICIPAL OFFICERS
President, Secretary and Coun-
Gilman Have Carried Out
Threat to Resign.
Special Correspondence of Every Evening

Special Correspondence OF Every Evening
Milford, July 2l-At special meeting
of Town Council on Monday evening,
the designations Of Captain William
Murphy as president Of Town Council,
Virtually mayor, also Of James 7. Pierce,
Jr, secretary Of council, and Vernon
Benson, councilman from the Third
district, were presented and accepted by
a majority vote. No other business was
transacted,
Milford is now without the services Of a
Mayor, as the office cannot he filed until
the regular election in January, un ess o
special election is called before that time,
Of which there is little probability 1T the
present time. The office of councilman
from the Third district will also be vacant
under the same conditions, as the town
charter does not provide for filling the
vacancies thus creased The Office Of
President of Council, however, will
probably be filed under provision
Of the charter, by the election Of one Of the
remaining councilmen. The secretarys
office can also be filled n the same man
ncr The affairs Of the town will thus
probably be compelled to function with
out the full compliment Of the town
offices being filled until the regular cleo
tion can be held in January at which
time it is predicted that all the council
chairs will likely be filled by new occu-
pants.
A majority Of the citizens do not appear
TO be in sympathy with the present condi-
tion OF affairs, and are anxiotisly awaiting
the time when they can register their dis-
approval IN q stronger way. Hitherto
town elections in Milford have not
awakened much interest and many
citizens have neglected to vote. II Is
due primarily to that neglect that the
present state of affairs exists, The next
election is sure to bring out the full voting
strength, rs many people have expressed
themselves as not countenancIng the
present action Of Council and as desiring
TO see that repetition Of the events of
the past week shall not occur again. In the
meantime, pending further settlement
of affairs, the town is without the services
Of day police officer, and unless a special
deputy is sworn in shortly, IL will also be
without the proper protection at night,
and espe cially on Saturday night, when
one officer is not able to properly cope
with the amount Of traffic that comes into
the town from the rural districts. More
than 500 cars usually visit the town
between six and eleven on Saturday
nightss
There is certain lawless element in
Milford that the ousted chief Of police,
Baker, has succeeded in curbing in the
past six months to a large extent.

$4,000 Snail Towns.

1t has been figured up that there are
about 1900 small towns in the United
States, half Of them with populations of
500 or less II is these small towns that
the rural people are intimately asso-
ciated with They sell their produce
there, buy the things they need in fact,
these are part of the rural community
Some of these small towns will become
cities, but very large per cent of them
Will remain as they are II is no disgrace
TO live in small town, but the rule is
that these people are waiting until next
year, or some future year TO improve their
schools, put in sidewalks, water sys-
TEN, or sewer system to safeguard the
health of the people, or before taking any
steps to improve the social and living

SHAMROCK'S VICTORY
SURPRISE TO LONDON

London, July 2l-Shamrock' success
in obtaining twoslegs on the America 5
cup comes as cheering surprise to most
people here. Sir Thomas Iipton's past
failures had inclined the public to believe
there was little or no chance for the cup
ever to he seen in England again.
The Daily Telegraph thinks the VIC
tory all the more remarkable because
the Resolute showed superior to any
thing ever sailed in American waters and
because the weather was Of the type
which wrecked the fortunes Of every
previous challenger
The Telegraph says
at would be absurd TO base on yester-
days result any confident prophecies that
the cup will be brought in triumph across
the Atlantic, as conditions off Sandy Hook
are notoriously uncertain"

Patching a Concrete Ship.

Three holes, one Of them about four
feet square, in the side of a concrete
ship of $500 tons were recently patched
with a cement gun so expeditiously that
the vessel left the eastern repain dock
apparently as good as new, one day
after the final operation. A form was
mounted three inches inside each hole
to give a thick patch and the mortar
forced against it with the gun, accumu-
lations on the reinforcing mesh being
cleared away from time to time.-Popu-
