MILTON LETTER


Fred X. Jensen. of Reynolds Mill,
killed six hogs last week that weigh
ed 1886 pounds. They weighed 44S,
473. 435. S64, 31S and 29S pounds re-
I spectively.
Town Council has finally decided to
do something to the fire house that
was damaged by fire last spring
They have had carpenters at work
this week cutting the building down
to a single story. This building. to-
gether with the Mayors office, makes
two single story municipal buildings
right in the heart of the business sec
ton, and are a disgrace to the town.
Passers through Milton are seen to
smile as they pass these two COW /
sheds. What must be their Impress |
ion of the town? Despite the fact that |
at a meeting of citizens Council was I
instructed to replace the building to
its original size and condition, Town
Council deliberately ignored the citi-
zens and put up what would be
lovely cattle shed but poor munich
pal structure. The members of coun-
Gil Cat least the high muckamuck) in
fact if not in words, say THE public
be damned" and are getting away
with it, too. The present council is
a one man affair. The writer knows
that this statement will make some
members sore, but it is a fact. Who
collects the taxes, who has the road !
work done, who pays the bills, and :
does he get the consent of the other !
members in the matter of disburse
or does he pay and tell you !
lbout it afterward? Ask yourself =
hese questions and then see if my T
statement is not true. Every member :
