DECORATION DAY AT MILLTOWN

MILLTOWN, May 29 – Decoration Day will be a big day at Milltown. The newly remodeled Milltown Park will open for the first of the season with a game of ball in the afternoon between the Catholic Club of New Brunswick and the Milltown nine. In the evening there will be dancing from 6.30 until midnight. The G. A. R. will not hold their annual parade in this borough to-morrow, but will go to South River and parade with the G. A. R. of that place.

The Ferguson Contracting Co. is building a 116 feet long addition to the factory building of the Michelin Tire Co.

The three new houses built on Clay street for the Michelin Co. will be ready for occupancy in a few days. Clay street no doubt will be extended to Riva avenue very shortly.

Riva avenue has lately been surveyed by the newly appointed surveyor, Fred C. Schneider. It will be one of the borough’s leading streets before long
