MILTON LETTER

that the Town Council pay off th'
balance due on the fire engine house
and THE UPPER ROOM STILL BE
! CLAIMED BY THE FIRE COMPANY
Said motion carried. Then on motion
there was an order drawn on the
treasurer for payment of same
amount $45.O0. Carried" Signed by
Frank B. Carey, Secretary. The above
minutes prove very clearly that the
members of the fire company have
been robbed of their portion of the
building by the bullheadedness of VIII
\ liam II. Welch. the man most, if not
entirely. responsible for the convert
I ing of the fire house from a two-story
] building into single story one. There
/ is a remedy at hand and one that no
/ doubt will be used by the citizens OF
/ the town at the coming town cleo
| tion. Now, we understand, council has
a scheme that will further mar the
beauty of the town, and that is TO
erect on either side of town dog
houses-the name given by DR.. X. b.
HOPKINS, the originator of the idea
in which is to be stored a hose cart
and 500 feet of hose. In case of fire
living on the south side are to pull
the cart on their side to the scene OF
the confagration-down a steep NIL
and up another yet sleeper. Some
idea, eh? What do the citizens of Mil
ton say to this? The ladies of the Cen
tury Club and other civic and social
organizations should protest against
these unsightly dog houses on the
main streets of our town. Is this
town governed by the citizens or the
plaything of William II. Welch? What
say ye, citizens?
