Let's get rid of the eyesore in Milford AN EDITORIAL Milford has an eyesore that should be removed immediately for several reasons, the most important being someone could be seriously injured. An eyesore, states Webster's dictionary, is a thing that is unpleasant to look at. We find no other way of describing the pile of rubble stacked on Emetine Street at the H and H Machine shop. Why hasn't this trash been cleaned up? The town board has taken a firm stand and is working to remove the condemned buildings in Milford. But, why do we have to put up with the trash in the street? What if everyone did this? We understand why the street and sidewalk area might be needed for a day or two while a project is being undertaken. But, this pile of trash has been there for weeks and is described by some as being a, "permanent fixture." Is this the type of permanent fixture we want in our town? Absolutely not. Why doesn't the town board do something about it? It was discussed at the meeting on Monday but no action was taken. We say it's time for action. Time to clean up Milford. Time to remove this eyesore. * .-VJ " 4 ij 1 ..^

Showplace?

Dear Editor: In 1963, a new dam was built in Syracuse and commemorated to Colonel Lilly. The grounds and building should be a showplace to all that pass by, but today it is the biggest eyesore in town. The fence has been moved in from the alley curbing and weeds all but cover the building. The bushes and a very nice red maple tree have been destroyed. There is a walk from the bridge to the building, but t you can’t walk there as it is choked with weeds There has been no maintenance on these grounds for the last four years. This property was destroyed when a company needed more room to store its steel. At the time a promise was made to

remove any foreign bodies obstructing the airway of the mouth. This is the second such class taught in Syracuse. The first was held May 25 and 26 and had 17 members present. Last week’s class boasted an increase of 20 members.

restore this property to its original condition, but to date, it is worse, not restored. If this property was in memory to a person in my family I think I would personally rip the plaque from the wall as I feel it is a slap in the face to a great benefactor to the town of Syracuse, and the biggest eyesore in town. Fred Personette 612 Third Street Syracuse, Indiana Visits Relatives Bruce Melcher of San Antonio, Texas, and grandson of Mrs. Russell Kistler of North Webster and formerly of Syracuse, spent last week visiting relatives in the Lakeland area and” at Goshen.
