1870 was any definite attempt made to bring rail servjce to milton and then after a series of wellat tended meetings the matter was dropped r c charter is secured in 1871 interest was again revived when suggestions were made to build a railroad between oakville andguelph- tbbe known as the oakville milton and guelph rail way sheriff mokindseywas suc- cessful in securing a charter for the proposed railway but the scheme received little support from the people of guelph so that eventiiallyit had to be dropped however about that same time a charter was granted to build the credit valle r

30000 they said it was worth that to get out of the mud the right of way was purchased graded and ueslaid hopes ran high and then the money gave out the pro ject was at a standstill for several years finally it was taken over by the canadian pacific railway the work completed and a station opened in 1879 however even before that happy day arrived an independent line known as the hamilton and

the village and georgetown will shortly be equally well equipped but wait about milton must we continue to blindly stumble around in the darlmess eventually the town fathers took action and a number of oil lamps- were installed- on corner posts a gentleman known as tommy turn er was the lamplighter and just be- fore nightfall he madethis rounds filling and lighting the lamps which were their allowed to burn until the coaloil gave out that is on dark nights on moonlight nights lamps were not considered necessary at all new building itp in due time oil lamps were re placed by carbon lights mounted on extra high poles a man went round every day to renew the car bons this was done by lowering the lamps by means of a rope the first privately owned electric light pjantjkas down below t hill on victoria street the building was later taken over for use as a shingle factory theeleotric plant was then installed in a building- at the rear pr tne present creamery it was run as a private enterprise until 1908 when it was taken over as a municipal project a new building was then built at a cost of 800 part of that same building is now the office used by mr frank mcmasterin connection with his garage in those days the light or power was turned off promptly at midnight during the week and at 11 oclock on sundays presumably all decent and law- abiding citizens were expected to be at home and ih bed by that time the electric light plant was finally taken over by the ontario hydro- power commission in 1913 lack of water every resident of milton now has water on tap in his or her home it is taken very much for granted the only time water is really appreciat ed is when it isnt there when the taps run dry and yet there was a time even within the memory of the older citizens of milton when an adequate water supply was the householders- own personal prob lem the ifeore affluent bad their own well water piped to the house and a septic tank installed for the less fortunate one well often had to do duty for several houses and there was an outbuilding adorning every backyard sometimes without too much regard to sanitation small wonder that diptheria and typhoid fever were common diseases at that period of miltons history of the expense involved v t mr thekle however in 1887 when mr solo mon hannant was mayor r of the town the scheme was carried through at an approximate cost of 22000 mr william chapman one of miltons octogenarians now liv ing on mary st helped considerably with the project although an outrofi towh engineer was also- engagedt when the work was finished the council proud of its achievement invited the townpeople to witness the first official release of the water via the pipeline a hose had been connected for demonstration pur poses according to the memoirs of the late cha jones onetime asses- a large crowd gathered in front of the town hall th water v was turned on but to the chagrin of the council only a trickle came through investigation revealed a defective valve at the reservoir this was remedied ahd the townsfolk invit ed to return at six oclock this they did the water was again turned on as the people wait ed with breathless expectation probably none more breathless than the council this time the water came in fact it came with such force that people within reach of the nose were drenched to the skin ten year

pastures has been the greater tt- ficiency of fertilizers when applied to complete stand of grass in our present day approach to past- uretertilization it is essential that a plant population be present in the sward to make ef fective use of applied fertilizers- recent work we nave dong n the provinces of quebec new brunswick and nov4 scotia has emphasized the value of seeded stands versus simple fertilization of old sods particularly when they are spiarse and open with high weed content- one of the features of a combtait ed program of fertilizntinn a ip seeding is the extension of the

came to a crossroad with a closed sign blocking the main road however they noticed that fresh tire tracks led around the sign so they decided to follow the tracks and disregard the sign they had all gone some three miles when the road ended at a broken bridge the only thing they could do was to turn around and on passing the road block again they observed this inscription on the reverse side of
