Last night Howard Stein Hudson the firm retained by the town to assess the parking issues in East Milton Square and offer proposals for resolving them held a 3rd and final hearing for the public and presented a range of possible solutions. They ranged in terms of time frame, complexity, and price tag and they are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Milton’s Planning Director Bill Clark began the session with an emphatic statement that the town was not going to be acquiring anyone’s property; not by purchase, eminent domain, or any other means. This had been a concern voiced at an earlier session of the Business and Citizens Advisory Committee and Clark was looking to assure people that the issue had been put to rest.

The Milton Historical Society has received a donation of 2 mid-19th century portraits of Milton residents William Davis and his sister Mary Davis by artist Isaac Wetherby, a well known artist who resided in Milton at the time. Mr. Davis, who lived on Canton Avenue, was a prominent citizen active in the anti-slavery movement. In 1931 the portraits were willed by Mrs. Josephine Davis Emerson to her nieces with the stipulation that they ultimately would come to the Society. The donor, Jane Johnson of New York, the great great granddaughter of William Davis, recently delivered the portraits to the Society at the Suffolk Resolves House where they will hang.
