Is Told About
Needs
R. C. Beckett, State
Health Board Engi-
neer, Says Milford Has
4SO Insanitary Privies.

The members of the Milford XII
wants Club at their last meeting ON
Tuesday evening were presented
with some very startling facts on
local sanitary conditions.
Joseph Kirby, Recorder of Deeds
lin Kent county, was fortunate in
securing as speaker of the evening.
r. G. Beckett, sanitary engineer of
the State Board Of Health.
i Mr. Beckett proved TO be any
thing but a ditiL speaker. From the
time he started speaking until he
finished every member was all at
tention. The chief reason for the
interest was a large chart which
showed Milford at the bottom of
long list of state towns. Everyone
wondered of course why Milford
should be so far down and so far
down in what.
1t was soon explained by the
speaker that of all the towns in
the state, Milford had more old
fashioned outdoor privies than any
other town with sewer system.
A nap was presented which show
ed the location of these open priv
les. Mr.. Beckett said:
"By looking at the map. you will
notice that the town of Milford is
pretty well covered with black |
dots, each of which represents an
privy, and the sum total
Is approximately 430. This means
that Milford has within its city |
limits a population equivalent to
using the old open
back privy. Furthermore, the great
of these properties face
severed streets. We have tried to
this problem through COIN
sanitation program, but
we're only able to install about 40,
iue to the inability of most of the
owners to pay cash for
such improvements Under this
'srtieuiar project we did not. of
