"UnSightIy"
The filling of the marsh at the
headwaters of the BrOadkill River,
on Magnolia street, is pleasing to
the citizens of the town, but the un-
slightly appearance of the dump is
annoying to residents of the vicin-
ity. The army camps about Milton
are using the dump for trash and
are thankful for such a convenient /
dumping ground. If the town coun- |
Gil would keep the trash covered |
with clean dirt as the dumping
progresses there would be less |
stencil, and the appearance of the
place will be improved. This will
have to be done later, why not do
it in small doses now? Please!

Should BE Corrected
Council. few months ago,
widened the sidewalk on the west /
side of Union street by an addition
to the bridge. Good. But auto
owners park their cars squarely on
the new sidewalk, making pedes-
trians use the. what should be, /
roadway. Unless this is corrected |
the money spent in widening the
bridge was wasted. An order to
the chief of police will stop this. /
