Milford chronicle., 1933-09-01

After the storm of last week the
beach is about back to normalcy.
The high tides and the high winds
have not been equalled since the
spring of 1918, 80 they say" Many
people in the cottagers moved home
but by Friday noon all of them were
back again. Five boats came ashore
damaging the boardwalk in that
many places. They have been re-
paired. The beach at the south end
was washed very badly by the
waves, while at the north end in
many places the sand has been built
up from four to ten inches. This is
caused, probably, by the protection
of the jetty. Experiences have been
related by all of the residents, and
now that the scare is in back of all,
the funny situations are told in
humorous vein. The report that
like storm was on the way from the
south, caused much discussion, but
it is more than likely that storm
of such intensity will be many years
removed from Slaughter Beach.
