The grading and concreting OF the
streets of Milton is going to be very
inconvenient to automobile owners,
residing along the route OF Federal
and Union streets, until the road is
finished. These people will be COM
pelled to hunt new garages for their
machines as the streets will be blccK-
ed bv the work. The merchants IN the
business section will be in most cases
isolated from the country trflde. This
trade will be compelled to stop at
some distance from the business CEN
ter and carry their produce in their
arms to the stores. Gasoline dealers
are running pipes from their tanks TO
the nearby side streets to take care
of the automobilists.- Those passing
through the town will have to use'
from the south, Chestnut street to At
lantic, cross Federal street over
bridge erected, thence out Mulberry
street to the Ellendale road. Those
travelling south will reverse this route
to Rehoboth and Lewes, or go via
Drawbridge. It is expected the road
will be completed by October goth.

Carey, of Philadelphia, were Milton
