Improvements
The Guyerr Building, on Eas
Front street, has been greatly inn
proved in appearances by the re
moval of the shed in front of it ant
the construction of a veneer tapes
try brick and plate glass front ant
the interior completely remodeled
The north end of the Wilkins
Building, adjoining the bridge, has
been cut back to conform with the
established building and curb lines
greatly adding to the looks and
convenience of that section
Tiring of waiting for action on
the part of the State Highway De-
partment, Town Council has COM
pleted the construction Of an added
eight foot width to the west side OF
the bridge spanning the Broadkill
River, providing a sidewalk Of like
width and an additional traffic
lane over the structure
The interior Of the Municipal
Building has been completely re-
modelled and refurnished to better
provide for the orderly conduct OF
the towns affairs.
The sidewalk in front of the
banking house of the Sussex Trust
Company has been cut back to a
width Of twelve feet to provide adj
ditional roadway on. Federal street,
improving both traffic facilities and
the value and appearance Of the
property.
The gas station on the Burton
lot has been opened for business.
Work on the construction of the
new municipal parking lot, which
was suspended during the canning
season, is again in progress, and
that portion of the original plan
will shortly be completed. While
the space will serve to somewhat
relieve the present parking prob
lem, it is already obvious that it
will be wholly inadequate to pro-
vide for the rapidly increasing traf-
fic. 1t is believed that Council will
take advantage of the offer of gift
of the land adjoining and extend
the facility through to the lake
spillway.
The addition to the Doster silk
hosiery mill in South Milton has
been completed, machinery INSTALL
ed and in production.

Milton, Negotiations are under
way for the purchase of the can

Jew York interests and it issunder-
TODD that extensive additions will
,e made to the present buildings.
