TO THE CITIZENS OF
MILFORD

We, the Manufacturers of the
Town of Milford, Delaware, lin ses-
sion assembled) being users of cleo
trio current from the Light and Wa
ter Plant for power, hereby re-
solve:
That the sale of the Light and Wa
ter Plant and the franchise by the
Town of Milford will be detrimental
to our interests. We could not afford
to risk accepting current from for
eign company without some knowl-
edge of the future service, rates, and
responsibility of that company.
We consume over 400 of the
Plants total current output and it
is this 4O%o that has put the Plant
on the paying basis it now occupies.
Several individual companies in
the Town of Milford have dismantled
their power plants, and are, as an
act of loyalty to the town, using the
town service from our present Light
Plant which has made the Plant val
liable as an asset to the Town. We
highly recommend the service rem
dered us by the employees of the
Adnls LuA hAOACQ AOA
power has been most satisfactory
and we respectfully request the vot-
ers of the Town of Milford to CO.
operate with the manufacturing in

Light and Water Plant which will
assure us of continual operation,
which means employment.

great many suckers inhabit the diet

correction of the exciting cause; OF

of being fed on skim milk and lettuce
leaves until the engorged digestive

broadcasted among other suckers
who know no better than to stuff
themselves with all the skin will en-
dure without bursting-other "cures"

merrily on. .
