tain James C. Conwell, ]. D. Rob-
bins, Harry C. Wagamon. The COM
mission visited the beach on Tues
day and reported their findings to

vorable to the building of the road
and it is expected that the resident
judge will authorize the Levy Court
Commissioners to build the road.
The route has been surveyed by John
c. Lank of Milton.

The addition to the w. E. Graves
& Son garment plant having been
completed the management and op-
orators celebrated the event on We'd
nesday afternoon. After the dedica-
tory ceremonies were completed Ie-
freshments of cake and ice cream
were served. The new addition
doubles the floor space and permits
the installing of a large number of
machines. Graves & Son found it
necessary to enlarge the plant to
properly axe care of their growing
business.
Charles Stuchlik has turned over
his poultry and egg business to Ar
thur Marder, of New York, who will
continue buying eggs and poultry in
this section for consumption in New
York, Atlantic City and Newark, N.
j. Mr.. Stuchlik has built up this
business from one small truck to a
fleet of four large trucks for gather
ing the produce and hauling to New
York an dother points. He has al
ways treated his patrons fair, paying
top prices and handling only first
class stuff. He bespeaks for Mr..
Marder the same courteous and fair
treatment Mr.. Marder takes charge
at once and can be found at the
Stuchlik home for a time.
Ned" is dead. A cat owned by
Charles B. Johnson, of Milton, died
on Tuesday, aged % years. Mr.. John
son was given the cat by a friend
when kitten twenty-three years
ago and was in his younger years,
champion rat killer. For the past
four years "Ned" had to be fed spe-
cially prepared soft food because of
a lack of teeth. He was a favorite in
his neighborhood and the pet of chill
dren who mourn his passing. 1t is
very unusual for a cat to live so long
but Mr.. Johnson is positive that
Med" lived twenty-three years.
v Joseph H. Walls will shortly begin
the raising of his storehouse to con-
form with the building erected few
years ago on Union street. The
building is of concrete block con-
struction and two stories high, MAX
ing a notable building amid the bus
mess district.
Many Milton householders are hav-
ing their chimneys cleaned of SCOT,
thus lessening the danger from fire
when the heating plants are started.
During the autumn and early winter
there are several alarms of fire
sounded because of four aues that
were not cleaned before stoves were
put up. Mayor Hopkins calls on all
householders to clean their CHM
neys during the next few weeks.
That Milton needs large school
building is becoming apparent each
day as country pupils are entering
for the term. Several rural districts
have consolidated with Milton, caus-
ing overcroWding and it has become
necessary to rent rooms in various
parts of the town to take care Of the
enrolment. We are told that if the
Cave Neck District will consolidate
with Milton we can build a commod-
ious school building, but Cave Neck
school officials have shown no de-
SIRE 10 do so. 1t is thought that if a
vote is taken Cave Neck parents will
vote to join the Milton district. Mil
ton has now a substantial building
but it is entirely too small to accom- f,
modate the present enrolment. 1t is
thought that a vote will be taken at
the next school election at Cave
Neck and in the meantime those ia
voring consolidation will try and win
over those opposed to the movement.
