created for a "swimmin' hole"
for Milford is very commend
able and should be encouraged.

It would materialize. Mayor

have gone over the ground
rather thoroughly and all that
remains is to interest the public

better place for water sports

In the process of cooking meat
in water, stewing and braising. the
temperature should be kept below
the boiling point of water, or the
meat will be rendered dry and

temperature is maintained long
enough the connective tissue will
be changed to gelatin and partly
dissolve and the meat will appear
