A visitor from Philadelphia, a
former Milton boy, said to the writ
er last week: You sure know the
streets of Milton. l was raised here
and l must confess that / knew but
one street-BrOad. In giving loca-
tiOns of certain news items in the
Milton letter of the Milford ChrOn-
icle you have me 'flabergasted' and
l am sure others who formerly re-
sided here are likewise puzzled. Why
not, some time, give us the names
of the streets and describe their 10
cations for us? [ am sure it would
be appreciated. Here goes. North
