Milford chronicle., 1924-10-03
Bowers Beach

The anniversary occasion at Bar
rats Chapel on last Sunday was a
notable affair both as to the great
assemblage of people and the eXer-
cises connected with the occasion.
AS to the number of people assem-
bled there in the afternoon /. is
only conjecture as there was no way
of ascertaining the facts but believed
by many to be the largest crowd that
ever gathered there. The religious
services were very impressive and
the sermon delivered by the Rev.
Sloan of the New Jersey Conference
was fully up to the standard of SER
mons delivered there on former Oc-
casiOns of similar character.
The town, so far as visitors is
about deserted; only business mat
| ters demanding the attention Occa-
stoned by the work on the concrete |
road at this place, by the cOntrac-
tors. But with anything like suitable |
weather it will only be few weeks .
before this end of the road for two .
miles or more will be completed and .
opened for travel without any de-
tours at this end. The road builders
have been held up so much on ac-
count of the wet weather.
There are six oyster shucking
houses that will operate here this
fall and winter. Several of them have
already opened and are at work with
might and main and the remainder
will be ready for business this week.
These houses will give employment
to many of our working men and
will continue throughout the fall and
winter.
The people of this town surely
have no reason to kick or complain
as thus far this year with prospects
ahead have had the best money MAX :
ing season. In fact the best the
town ever experienced.
The hook and line fishing has about =
ending so far as this season is con-
cerned. Occasioned by the following
and one reason advanced is that the
fishing had become poor, attributed
by many of the experienced fisher
men to the fact that the water in the !
bay seemed to be alive with bait fish. +
Hence the fish got a plenty of food +
bait fish and it takes hungry fish
to take the hook freely. Another rea-
son for the falling off of the fish fans
he work on the concrete road in
own as so many of the sports that q,
come from a long distance come in
he night time and they do not care
o tackle the way of ingress, to the
own, under such unfavorable con-
litiOns.
The Ladies Aid Society of town a
will meet on Friday, October Srd, at
he home of Mrs. E. V. Davenport, M
7here she will entertain the society.
t is the wish of the society and es- p
the officers, that all MEM W
ers who possibly can meet will be II
n hand. THIS meeting being the first
Meeting since the first of July when +
be vacation was started and much W
usiness of importance will have to
e attended to.
