Milford chronicle., 1926-07-23
Lewes

At the regular meeting OF Ine
Chamber of Commerce held on Mon
day evening a gOodly number of the
members were present, also some
new members were taken in. The
chamber is in communication with d
prospective hotel builder which
Lewes is badly in need of at pres
ent and must have in order to make
the progress that it should make
along with other live towns. The
matter of an article which appeared
in last weeks issue of the Milford
Chronicle was taken up, which read
THAT some drastic action would be
taken if the local fishing companies
didn't stop running their refuge and
curry into the bay and thereby pol
luting the water at times so that it
was unfit for bathing" 1t seems that
this has happened in years past, but
this condition does not exist at pres
ent and that the fisheries are not
running their refuge in the water
this year and that the article writ
ten was laid on a little bit heavier
than it was intended, and it was
brought out at the meeting that
Lewes Beach is one of the finest
beaches along the Atlantic coast in
which to bathe and many are taking
advantage of it this season. There
have been more bathers on Lewes
Beach this season than ever before.

Henlopen is also being held up some
