According to the report. received.
SalmOns had one leg severed from
his body, and it would be necessary
for the other to be removed. The
report stated that Salmons had been
injured when two trolley cars col
lided. While it is certain that the

The D. M. & ". Railroad has put
in a siding and is building a .trestle

used in the fort at the mouth of the
Mispnlion River, at the Milford sta
ltion. 1t is reported that it is the
purpose of the contractors to stone
the road between Milford and Cedar
Beach canal so that motor trucks
can do the hauling of materials
during the winter months. The roads
are of the kind of soil which be-
comes Squagnire during the winter
rains and wet weather. and unless
stone is applied literally, the trucks
will find it impossible to travel
with loads from the fort over the
six miles.
