MARSHALL MILL LAKE DEAL OFF

The sale of the Marshall Mill Lake
and grounds which were to have been
sold by Mrs. Angeline Marshall to Mr..
Edward NJ. Davis of Wilmington, has
fallen through and Mr.. Davis will not
be able to carry out his proposed
pleasure park for the people of Mil
ford and establish a bathing place on
the shore of the lake for the boys.
There was some misunderstanding in
regards to the deal which caused Mr..
Davis to discontinue completing the
transaction.
Mrs. Marshall has recently had sew
eraI applications from business men
for the white cedar on part of the land
belonging to the lake, and also for
the old burned mill connections, and
these may be of more value than they
were considered as having. When the
new permanent road is built by the
state and county from Milton to Mil
ford, which is likely to be completed
before the end of the present year,
this lake will be one of the beauty
spots in approaching the eastern side
of Milford It will require a new tum-
bling dam to control the waters.
