MILTON

proVeneHI tnat was ever inauguf-
ated in Milton. Broad, Front, Chest
nut, Mulberry, Mill, Atlantic and
Poplar streets have been surfaced
with asphalt, and the State Highway
Department has made similar i'm
prOvements on North Union street
TO Bay avenue. The residents { of
these streets, who have waited long
for this much-needed improvement,
are elated over the work done.
The merchants and others located
in the business section of the town
are extremely anxious that the town
authorities will give immediate at
tention to the widening of South
Union street, on the west side, which
work was started several months ago
but has been suspended for several
weeks. The increased amount of
traffic makes this particular portion
Of town both slow and dangerous to
travel. 1t is also hoped that the
widening of the bridge will be ac-
complished before the holidays.
Cheese Plant Sold
The cheese factory and equipment
on Behringer avenue was sold last.
Saturday by the trustee in bankrupt,
and was purchased by Lester Rus
sell, resident of this town, for $2,-
500. 1t is very probable that the
building will shortly be occupied by |
manufacturing industry.

all offenders. The speed limit is rs
miles per hour, in sections outside

er in the latter section. The resi-
