Give Your Cooperation

community buliulnB last Decembe
the fire company was urged to rt
build and afford the town con
tinuance OF moving pictures. Nil
ton merchants realized that the clos
ing down OF the movies caused
slump In business. The company ha
complied and will shortly omen
new theater that, in design, appear
ance and cost will far exceed tn
expectations of anything that cOulI
have been reasonably expected. Tn,
fire company in turn expected thu
cooperation of Town Council AM
business establishments in makinj
improvements that would conform
TO the building being constructed by
them. Thus far, there has been nj
move on the part of council to ado
anything to improve the surround
ings, nor to even make badly-needeC
repairs in the immediate locality
IOnly two business houses have show.
ed substantial appreciation of the
necessity of improving their build
ings to conform to the new theater
IL is believed that a few will be
prompted if by nothing more than a
sense of fairness to remove the an
tique sheds from in front of their
buildings and otherwise modernize
the structures. Make our business
section attractive and many who
pass Milton by to purchase goods in
other towns will patrOnize Milton
merchants.
Broad Street
The residents of Broad street in
vite the public Cincluding the MEM
bers of Town COunciD to visit Broad
street and see the worst kept street
in any municipality in the State of
Delaware. The grade is big laugh,
unless you reside here; the roadway
is full of holes from the size Of
hens nests to hog wallOws, and one
gully across the entire roadway is
at least six inches deep and danger
Gus to auto drivers. Yet we under
stand that one of our cOuncilmen
said that the property holders of this
street do not deserve recognition be-
cause they pay no tax. That baby is
a plain liar or an idiot. Nearly eV-
cry resident of Broad street owns his
own property and pays the taxes as
cessed and gets nothing in return in
the way of street improvements.
Any man (?) who makes such untrue
statements is unfit for the office OF
Councilman, and Broad streeters pro-
pose to oppose his reelection when
the time comes. Every other street
IN Milton, except alleys and the mill
way, are improved. Why, Mr.. Mayor?
Why? Action is what we want, not
more promises. More anon.
