Purchased New Pnmper 4s
q The Milton Fire Department has
purchased another pumpeF,. which
will be fitted with tanks and used
in answering alarms from the rural
sections. The department now has
three engines and is one of the best
equipped of any company in the
county The firemen are TO be COM
plimented ON their thoughtfulness
in preparing an engine to fight rural
fires, in that this portion of our
wealth in the past has been doomed
to the fire demon because of a lack
Of water with which to fight. With
the new engine, as equipped. it is
expected that many rural properties
will be saved from total destruction.
Stree And Easy TOwnp
The above caption may shock some
but those who are Observant, will
most certainly agree with us. For
example Crap shooters for the past
two or three Sunday mornings lin
the wee small hOurs) have been no
tfced rolling the bones on the main
street of our town without fear of
the restraining hand of the law-and
this within 300 feet of the mayors
Office. This fragrant infraction of the |
lad, together with the continued fast
and reckless driving of cars through
Milton streets, day and night, In
clines some of our citizens to the
belief that they live in the most !
lawless and poorly-governed town !
in the entire country. Better police |!
protection is certainly needed in Mil !
ton.
IL Is Done
Last week we asked that the job |
of widening the roadway ON Union |
street be completed. Town Council, |
out of the peoples money, has Topped |
OF the porch roofs of the stores on /
the west side of the street and moved |
the posts in to the new line, and we
still have the unsightly sheds. Coun-
Gil evidently. found it more peace
able" to let the property owners on
the east side of the street retain their |
unsightly sheds than to force their
removal-following the line of least
resistance seems to be the policy of
Council. The two owners of the west
side properties who stood steadfast |
against the removal of their sheds
land they wanted them removedD are
to be congratulated, and Council pit
tied. f"
