City Office News

When water meters are read
there are usually some complaints
about the water bills and in most
cases it develops that there is a
leak IN the plumbing When uues-
/ tlOn is raised about a bill. the meter
readings are checked to be sure
there is no error in the readings.
However, city water pressure of
about go pounds per square inch is
maintained throughout the city.
and pinpOint leaks in water pipes
VIII amount to a loss of consider
able water in a three month per
lOd. A hole 1/32nd of an inch in
diameter will result in a loss of
5000 gallons water a month. or
$4,000 gallons a quarter. A hole
1/l6th of an inch will result in a
loss Of 24,000 gallons a month at
this pressure.
In order to keep down water bills
users should avoid waste of water
by turning off faucets when not in
actual use. Keep all leaky faucets
repaired by installing new washers.
Another source Of water leakage is
IN the flush tanks Of toilet instaIla-
tions. See that all parts fit per
fectly, and that no water is run
ming into the overflow pipe, when
not in use.
The water line on Delaware ave-
nue. is being laid, and a short line
OH OF Lemuel avenue, near the CITY
playground has been completed.
Due to the lateness of the season
and necessity of leaving the ground
settle on Delaware avenue. this
street will not be paved until next
spring.
In 1916 the State Board Of Health
made a check of our restaurants
and only two were approved by the
board of health. AS a result of the
campaign by the local board of
health, our restaurants have i'm
proved to the point where the re-
cent inspection by the state and
local board of health indicates that
all the places in Milford have been
rated higher than so per cent on
the various features of cleanliness
in restaurants. All locations will
be checked early in November, and
all restaurants will be issued an
approved board of health card if
all employees display a health card
showing their examination bv a
doctor for freedom from disease.
Most restaurants and stores have
now complied with all provisions
of the health ordinance. and dis
play of the cards will show the
public that they are dealing in a
clean place.
1t should not be necessary to do
so, but since some question has
been raised about it, it should be
noted by all purchasers of real es-
tate that they should check and see
II taxes and other liens on the
property have been paid before
making a purchase. The ancient
law of "CaVeat EmptOr" still an
plies in law, which means "let the
buyer beware" and if anyone buys
property and later it develops
that taxes are due on the property.
he is then responsible for taxes.
Taxes are against the property, not
people, and collection of property
taxes is mandatory and any prop
ertv tax is cOllectable by sale of
the property for taxes.

0EAR FRIENDS:

Ever so often in the
work of a social re-
- porter there comes
- a lull that is so
"deafening" we begin to look
around to see what has hap
pened to people and things.
We come to that time in the
lives Of women when they be-
gin the semi-annual upheaval
in homes, and they hide behind
"a barrage of curtains, draper
les and such, and some do not
appear until order is restored
and they have had time to re-
turn to normalcy in their
thinking and living. This is,
probably, the time. 1t was in
teresting to look back ten
years in my scrap-boOk just to
see if this same week was a
quiet one. Quite to the con-
trary. It was the week when
friends were thinking about
the wedding of our Donald
Smith and Miss Doris Warbur-
ton, which took place in Will
mingtOn. Mary Lee Jacobs was
given a Halloween party by
her parents in celebration of
her sixth birthday. Mrs. John
Mulholland and a committee
were arranging for a card
party to be given for the bene-
fit of the New Century Club.
Mrs. C. D. HOlzmueller, Mrs.
William G. Taylor and Mrs.
Wilson S. Vinyard entertained
their various clubs. Miss Bet
ty Walls, then twelve, had a
birthday party with twenty
guests present. And the late
Mrs. William Wroten, in cele-
bratiOn of her birthday, was
entertained by her daughter,
Mrs. William c. Smith, and by
Mrs. Herman D. Johnson. Do
these things seem of the long
ago? Ten years go by swiftly.
That makes me think of a
telephone conversation with
Mrs. David Sills this week,
when we talked about DR.. Da-
vid Sills, who is now on Oki-
nawa, the place with memo
ries for all of us. David is
serving two years with the
medical division of the Army,
and is working hard in a hos
pital there of seven hundred
and fifty beds, with twelve
other doctors. OF course the
local people" are NOrientals,
and he depends on the soldiers
and sailors who come to the
hospital for operations and
treatment for his touch of
stateside. The island exper-
fenced a typhoon recently and
since tn EN- communications
have been so broken that no
news by radio reaches him.
The two years will pass and he
will be back with his family
and friends and with much
