day Mr.. Jolls offered and had read the
following bill now pending before the
Section i. Be It enacted. that tho
Levy Court OF New Castle county shall
hereby have authority and are hereby
directed TO take charge OF certain
piece OF road In New Castle Hundred,

and extending In northerly direction
to the city of Wilmington and there
after the same shall be a county charge;
and tho Levy Court of said county are
hereby required to keep the same in

New Castle county shall have authority
and is hereby directed to appropriate
and expend at once sum of money
sufficient to put the said road In good
condition, but the same shall not ex-
coed the sum OF twenty-five hundred
dollars"
Considerable opposition was mani
tested against the passage of the bill.
The members say that the county can
not afford to exercise control over any
roads except causeways as provided
for by law. 1t was contended that
II any road commissioner had not
enough money to make the necessary
repairs he can declare an assessment
on the residents and compel them by
law to subscribe sufficient funds to put
the road In good repair, and keep 1t in
such condition.
Mr.. Ellnson made q motion that a
committee OF three-including the
chairman-be appointed to go to Dover,
| SEQ The committee having the bill in
hand, and remonstrate against its pas
sage. The motion was adopted, and
Messrs. Buckingham. Eliason and Jolls
were appointed said committee.

think q less amount would meet the
demand. He thought there would be a
small balance over from last year hui
not sufficient to warrant the Court In
cutting down the appropriation.

was passed, that the annual appropria

ing "Wednesday, April 80, for the 'rrus-
tees of the Poor he the same as last
