MILFORD CITIZENS PROTEST
Arrange Public Meeting on Thursday
Night to Complain of New Highway

&N1Eul 10 N1 4NGN
Milford officials, merchants and pri-
vate individuals are up in arms due to
a proposal by the State Highway De-
partment of having a road east of
Milford to connect with the Rehoboth
road. As result, a protest meeting
will be held Thursday evening in the
Armory Hall at Milford, followed by
a referendum on the matter Friday.
The meeting, at which the referendum
will be explained, is supported by the
Chamber of Commerce. Although the
Town Council can take no official part
in the protest, it is heartily in SYM
pathy with the stand taken by the To-
cal people, it is said. 1t is under
stood that the State Highway Depart
ment has made three surveys east of
Milford. The proposed road, as a
Milford resident said he understood it
would extend from the intersection of
the dupont Boulevard at the northern
end of Milford, east across the Mis-
pillion river, and connecting with the
Rehoboth road. This would require a
drawbridge across the river at that
point. The cost is estimated at $780,
600 for the entire project. At present
most of the traffic TO Rehoboth goes
through Walnut street, the principal
thoroughfare of this town. The con-
struction of the road would mean the
loss of much out-of-town business to
local merchants, one of the most i'm
portant points in the protest. Mil
ford persons are seeking to have the
route to Rehoboth remain as it is now.

 The substitutes of the Army were not in the game long enough to show much of what they could do. Uric furnished considerable amusement for the spectators and almost scored a basket. Miller worked good on the defense and undoubtedly will be used considerably. Reed with little more experience should be a valuable man.
 The men ran in by the High school were all so much of a size that 1t was rard to pick them out and very little difference was noticed in the playing of the team.

It is rather coincident that both losing teams in the double header last night scored the same number of points.
 The girls game was iii many ways more exciting than the boys game. They played every minute of the time from the first to the last whistle. l At the end of the first half the Reds had lead that it looked impossible for the Blues to overcome but few more minutes. of play and the story might have been different. 1 Every girl was in the game from start to finish and it was not surpris- ing that they were ready to quit when time was called.
 For the Reds it is hard to pick any stars altho Roberta Mcintosh was to be seen anywhere and everywhere that the ball was. Another girl that showed up good was Jean Merritt and lit will be hard work to keep her off the regular team. She promises to crowd the best for top laurels.
 On the opposing team Elsa Larsson was the outstanding offense player and scored most of the points for her team. Anchorage will do well to keep an eye on this little forward when they tangle with the local girls. On the defense Wilma Harrison played her regular game and was many times a stumbling block for the Reds. This girl is improving with amazing speed. The girls passing and handling of the ball was much better than last season.
 A new referee was introduced to the people of Seward and made a very creditable showing and it is expected he will do more officiating before the season is over This refers to Harris
