The property owners fronting o.

sidewalks in width have rightfull
refused to demolish the sheds ii
front of their stores until all other
ere also required to do so. Tw,
property owners refuse to compl.
with the regulations, and the tow
officials are apparently powerless Il
do anything about 1t. In effect. /
would seem that these two property
owners have delegated to themselves
the power to make their own laws
rather than to recognize the ordinan
ces made by town council. A funny
and pathetic situationi

Church, on Union street. An invita-,
tion has been extended the pastors

David DuttOn Injured
While cleaning a revolver at his
home on Friday night, David Dutton,
son of Mrs. Eliza Dutton, received
severe wound of his left hand when
the gun. supposedly empty, dis
charged. The bullet passed COM
pletely through his hand. He was
taken to the Memorial Hospital,
where he was given treatment. His
condition is good and he is expected
home soon.
That Parking Lot
urorly of roodarnizino l9l tho rnuni
cipal parking lot is making progress.
Thus far matter of dozen loads
of dirt has been gathered from the
cutters of other sections of town and
deposited there. 1t seems that the
petition. signed by more than fifty
merchants and taxpayers asking for
the improvement was misunderstood
in that the place has been converted
into a dump" instead of the con-
venience requested for the benefit of
the visitors to Milton. Taxpayers
will no doubt view with amazement,
rs well as delight, the first steps. if
any. that the town officials may take
that will serve as an impetus to bus
mess or the comfort and conven-
ience- of the citizens and visitors.
What does this town need more than
anything else to bring it up-to-date?
You answer that one.
