MILTON
Growing Worse

lack of law and order was witness
ed in Milton last Sunday when two
drunken drivers sped recklessly
through the streets of the town fol
more than three hours, endangering
the lives of pedestrians and destruc-
ton of other cars parked along the
thOroughfares. 1t is amazing that
the authorities continue to permit
such violations of open defiance OF
the law. 1t was thought with the ap-
pOintment of a new Alderman that
conditions would improve, but they
have grown steadily worse. 1t ap-
pears that Milton is regarded as a
Mecca by reckless drivers, drunks
and crap shooters who operate open
" in the business section and will
continue to do so until the Mayor
and Council either awake to the re-
spOnsibilities of the oath of their Of
flee or, in common decency. resign.
Another Industry
An option has been taken on a
building in South Milton in which
another garment factory will be es-
tablished, provided a minimum of
twenty operators can be secured. A
canvass uf the labor situation is now
being made and it is believed that
the plant will be able to start within
the next 80 days.
