Just and impartial that on tbe bench

The qualifications enumerated are

A Large State Farm
Representative Marvin has Intro
doced a bill to establish a centra I
colony for the purpose of segregating
the inmates of all State Institutions
for Incurable insane, criminal insane,
epileptics, feeble minded and peni
tentiaries. Tbe idea is to bny a
tract of say 2000 acres centrally lo
eated and have these dependents
work so as to reduce the large sum
now neoetsary for their support.
This seems practical and with the
State institutions all in olose prox
imity it ia possible they might be
more readily- sorpervised. There
re msny cot. fined in tbem wbo are
able to work and whose conditions
would no doubt be Improved were
thsy given employment. Tbe pro-
dost raised on the farm, if Jodidoa i
management was given, might go
far toward tbe support of the ir.
mates. It farming can be made to
pay there ia ne reason why bind
worked by men without wages,
should not produce sufficient for
tbeir sopport and it this can be done
the taxpayers of the State would be
telieved of a great expense.
To Own Wells Glen
A bill before the Hquse authorises
boroogbs to aeqolre private property
lor tbe purpose of making or enlarg
iug public parks and play grounds
This aot, if it becomes law, may en
able tbe Bora to acquire the Wells
Glen, if the same can he done with
out uucb expense. That beautiful
spot abonld belong to the Boro so
that it may be protected for all time
and preserved as sn adjunct. It is
now advertised aa one of Milford at
traction, and is privste property
from wbicb tbe publio could at any
time be excluded. Not tbat the pre
ent owners would do so bot time bss
its vicissitudes and no one can fore
tell what conditions the future might
bring. To provide against any such
unfortunste contingency "Wells
Glen." under tbat name, should be
pirpetnated as a place where thecit
isens of tbs town and the summer
guests might tor all time be free to
enter and enjoy its beauties and com
forte. We should plan, not only for
our days and generation, but for sue
oeedlng ones sud the time to do this
is when tbe oppor. unity Is afforded.
Probably few, if any, towns bave
sash a romantlo and pleasant piece
of land lying at thajr very doors,
aud one which wtftild afford such
pleasure to the inhabitants, and Mil
ford is fortonate indeed ia tbat res
pect. If the occasion offers let it be
come a permanent attachment to tbe
Boro so that generations yet to come
msy oommend tbe prndsoce and
foresight which gave to tbem full
enjoyment of one of natures most
beautiful resting spots. Tbe Boro
should own "Wells Glen."

NEWS FROM

That, "tbe beet laid plana of mloe

belter demonstrated than in tbe ia
aoguratlon of the new President on
March 4th when the elements gatb'
ere themselves together for tbe
most disagreeable day of the winter
and succeeded In nullifying to sn al
most Incredible degree the efforts
tbst bad been made to bave tbls In
auguration surpass .any that had
preoeeded It. The day before when
the Immense crowds had gathered In
anticipation of tbe ceremonies and
celebration, dawned wet. and cold.
Rain fell all day and toward night
tnere-ww8 lightning and thunder and
heavy showers'. Later the snow be
gan and' continued to fall until the
streets were turied, several inches
deep. By daylight-tbe oity. was cut
off from outside oomnrunicatlon, tel
egraph' and telephone' wires were
down aod the wiuji had brot down
tbe poles and left lousa.wires swing
ing in tbe streets. Never before tad
there been such desolation on Inaug
uration day. The' seats in the
grand stands which had been erected
all along tbe Hoe of. the march were
bai k?d with snow. The decorations
bad either faded out in hideous bluiv
of red, white and Wue or tlisy bad
fallen to the pavements, from their
weight of snow. The light wooden
pillars which had been stationed
along both sides Of Pennsylvsnis
Avenue lay in the streets with their
decorations of flags aod wreaths bur
led in tbe snow. The gutters were
filled with ice and slush and it was
impossible to cross tne streets with
out going over one's shoe tops io tlie
icy, flood. Comparatively few had
tbe coorage to venture out in. the
gale snd storm so that when Mr Taft
oompanied by Mr.Roosevelt was
driven swiftly up he Avenpe tatbe
Capitol there wasonly a small stray,
fling shivering orowd to greet tbem.
Strangers in the city who had shelt
er weie glad to stay Iu doors aod the
residents sccostomed to tbe mild
temperatures of this semi Southern
climate scarcely knew bow to face
blizzard that seemed more suited to
the Dakotas or Canada. Thousands
were without adeqoate shelter. The
troops recently returned from Cuba
were assigned to canvas tents near
the river bank' and after two years
in a tropical olimate founl them
selves In a subartic temperature with
no other protection than these flimsy
teuts afforded.- At tbe railroad sta
tion all was oofusiob and chaos
Wires being down . there wss no
communication with incoming trains
and these arrived nnheralded from
th'ree to thirty boors late. Many of
the passengers arriving at night did
not venture out of the station to find
lodgings snd fifteen hundred people
spent the night in tbe station. Hun
dreda of others did not arrive In time
for the Inauguration at all but came
In on tbe limping trains many hoars
late. Many others reaobing the city
gave one glance at the conditions and -boarded
tbe next train out for home.
Baltimore hotels were crowded by
the inauguration visitors who got as
fatas the Monumental, e ty and div
ining the conditions at the Capitol
stopped off there. The West Point
Cadets, did not get into tbe city until
the next day and suffered as many
others from lack of food sod aooora
mcdations on tbs train wblca had
not provided for such an exigency
It woold take columns to express the
disappointment and disgust of the
strangers who hid come from great
distances to aee .the inauguration
aod Congress oame in well for tbe
righteous indignation of everyone
for not having long ago changed tbe
i aogural date to a later season
when better weatber might be
ooooted on.
It was impossible for Mr. Taft to
make his address ootside the Capitol
and the crowd that defied tbe weatb
er to gather In anticipation of hear
ing bim shared the disappointment
tbat seemed to attend all tbe plans
tor tbe day. Even tbe Senate galler
les which had been carefully reserved
seat by seat for the families of the
Congressmen had rows of vacant
places when Mr. Taft took the oath
of office.
The scene Inside tbe Senate Cham
ber when tbe Inclemency outside
was forgotten was one likely to be
long remembered by tho e who were
present. Never - had tbe retiring

sum to oil ber streets. Milford 's
Council will investigate tbe matter
and if feasible in tbe matter of ex
ponas msy try the experiment. We
bave before os some data which may
enlighten the subject. Glotrln,
sample of which we have, It a prac
tically odorlesrs substance and may .
be applied, mixed with water, from
an ordinary sprinkling cart. Tbe
Company makes tbe following liberal
after : "We are willing to furnish
you sufficient glutrin to treat one
quarter of a mile of 10 foot road tor a
flat sum of $50 " This prioe ia made
because it is in the nature of a dem
onstration. Tbia preparation bas the
endorsement of tbe U. 8. office ot
Publio Roads. It is claimed tbat it
bas adhesive properties that Increas
es tbe natural binder In roads, and
that tbey acquire a cement-like struo
tore snd appearance nnattainable by
any other means. The amount re
quired on sandy roads or on shale aa
is ours would vaiy from three-tenths
to three quarters of gallon to the
square yard for the first year aod
one-tenth to two tenths of gallon
yearly afterwards. It will not stain
anything, does not change color of
road and will not Injure boot or tire
and is permanent ia its effect.
Another preparation eslled dotto-
lene is highly recommended. It is
said to be odorless, is easily applied
as water by sprinkling oart, dots
uot stain, aod is effective for a period
ot $ to 8 weeks. It bss been used In
many places snd met with approval.
A barrel, fifty gallons will cover 200
feet 18 feel wide, snd costs t oents
a gallon in N. Y. plus $1.60 fur each
package, or $4 75 plus freight and
cartage. If tbe package is returned
$1.00 is allowed for it. Carload lots
cost less. At that rate it would oost
for the material about $50 to treat
1000 feet of road or aay $250 mile,
exolualve of cost of labor. For
stretch of road 1500 feet, 18 to 20 ft.
wide It would require $ to 8 barrels
for tbe first treatment and i for sob.
sequent ones.
Both tbe above substances might
be experimented with on onr street
st an inconsiderable oost and so a
comparative test made of tbeir re
spective merits. It certainly seem
that the Council miyht with profit
Investigate both propositions and
give tbs town tbe benefit of an at
tempt to reduce tbe dust onissnce to
a minimum at the least cost. We
think Ibe citizens would hsaitily sp.
prove.
