The Milford High School baseball
team will go to Westport Friday af
ternoon to play the High School team
of that place. The Milford team got
off to a bad start this season but is
expected to come home with a victory
this time.
Enlargement of the Colonial The
ater have begun and during the time
It will take to complete the alteration
the theater will be open in the even
ings only. The plans call for a new
balcony which will seat 200 persons.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the minstrel performance
to be given by the Milford Wheel
Club, May 23 and 24, in the Town
Hall. The affair promises to be the
biggest event Milford has yet witnes
sed. Last evening the Daughters of Po-
walks on the new bridge which is to
span the Housatonic river. The plans
at present call for but one walk. It
is estimated that the additional walk
would necessitate the expenditure of
about $100,000 above the former es
timates. That it would be of great
benefit there can be no doubt. With
only one walk the danger from ac
cidents to persons who would be ob
liged to cross the road at this point
where automobiles, and the trolley
cars make such, an act very aangeroua
would be vastly more expensive than
the small additional cost.
The property abutting on the side
that is favored with the walk would
without doubt increase in value while
the opposite Bide would decrease as
no one would want to reside where
they would be obliged to cross the
road before they could walk over the
bridge.
