Show More Paving; City Park Loom Up As Goal of Local Civic Boosters PEOPLE ON NORTH MAIN FAVOR PAVING EXTENSION LEGION AFTER PARK That the present strip of pavement in Milford is only a forerunner of more extensive street improvement was indicated by the tone of the Lions Club meeting held this week. Another civic improvement which will undoubtedly be pushed by local groups for the next several months will be a city park and playground. Members of the Lions Club scarcely paused to survey their past accomplishments accom-plishments with reference to paving when the suggestion was made that the organization get down to brass tacks again on further town improvements. improve-ments. George Jefferson said that the North Main street property owners own-ers wanted pavement and from all indications were willing to stand a share-of the cost. If aid from state and county sources can be obtained, it is not at all unlikely that the state road through town will be paved in another season or so from one out-skirt out-skirt of the town to the other. Dr. C. R. Parrish, who is the commander com-mander of the American Legion in Milford, said that the Legion men wanted greatly to build a city park and playground for the use of the town and he asked the co-operation of the town board and the Lions Club. A committee, consisting of J-R. J-R. Murdock, M. H. Pool and Aaron Smith was named to work with the Legion on its plan and see what developing de-veloping of it can be done. Street Celebration The street dance, contingent upon the opening of the pavement and turning on of the lights of the "White Way,' seemed to be as far away as ever and will likely be called off altogether. al-together. Delay in shipment of the light standards makes the date of the lighting up of Milford an uncertainty, uncer-tainty, and the novelty of the pavement pave-ment seems to have worn off. Dairy Situation Milford valley and the Beaver bottoms bot-toms lead the famous Cache valley in quality of its dairy stock, according accord-ing to Dr. Parrish, who in company with County Agent Price, traveled some 600 miles in Cache county looking look-ing for pedigreed cattle to bring in here. Forty-two head were finally selected for Beaver county farmers. The Minersville and Milford districts alone are producing a ton of milk a day now and dairying is making rapid strides as an industry. Only the best grades of dairy cows, of pedigreed lineage, has been sought after as foundation dairy stock for this county. Air-Field Report M. P. Lewis reported in behalf of the aviation committee that the town got a lease here of 320 acres, the site of which was in turn leased to the Department of Commerce for its use. A fine fence around the field has been put in by Doug. Fothering-ham. Fothering-ham. The town still has some brushing brush-ing out to do. A lighting contract has been awarded and it is believed that the government will install a light about every three hundred feet around the borders of the field. The request of the Standard Oil company that it be allowed to erect a gasoline pump at the field was tabled because it was not believed that the authority lay with the Lions Club. Suggests Better Sewags A. E. Smith spoke briefly on local sewage extension and said that the town of Milford could do worse than to extend the sewage lines for a mile or so and thus do away with the disagreeable odor noticed along the upper part of the railway tracks thru town. No action was taken on the subject. The meeting, which began slowly enough, finally developed into a live one and lasted until well after the regular adjourning time. |
