Show MILFORD STARTED SOMETHING ' We wonder how many Milford residents have noticed the numerous Salt Lake Tribune Trib-une accounts of various civic improvements in different communities headed: "FACL LIFTLVG." And we wonder how many oi those citizens realize that Milford started the present face-lifting activity. Several months ago a meeting of Main Street proi-rty owners and other interested citizens okayed an investigation of the whys apd wherefores of rebuilding the Main Street storefronts. It was reported to The Tribune and they labeled it a "face lifting." The upstate up-state publicity that followed was worth untold un-told dollars to Milford. Any time people read favorable news items about a town it's like a time deposit someday you're going to cash in on it. Mr. Winder, of the Utah State Department of Publicity and Industrial Development, attended at-tended the meeting and was so favorably impressed with the Milford program that the next series of ads from the Department oi Publicity which appear in every weekly Newspaper in the state was based on the "face lifting" idea. Two Milford business men went to Salt Lake to contact an architect and found that they knew all about us and our program ot civic improvement and advancement. Richfield, and many other Utah towns, have taken up the idea and started a Mail Drag dress-up program). Tuesday night, April 9, Mr. B. Telle Cannon Can-non of Cannon & Mullen, prominent Salt Lake architects, tvill be in Milford to discuss dis-cuss preliminary phases of the program. A meeting of property owners and other interested inter-ested citizens has been called for eight o'clock in the Town Offices, at which ideas will, be exchanged, and the matter thoroughly thor-oughly discussed. Members of the Town Board and the Town Planning Board will be present, and all interested parties are urged to attend. Milford has started something. Let's do a good job of putting it over. |
