The URBAN AND RURAL ROADS.
An Explanation of Rural New Castle
Hundred 5 Road Bill That Only Made
Matters Worse.

An Explanation of Rural New Castle
Hundred 5 Road Bill That Only Made
Matters Worse.
Senator Williams, from the Committee
on Revised Statutes, made a favorable
report upon the House bill in relation to
the New Castle hundred road commits
sioners. Il provides that in rural hun
dreds the commissioners shall not levy a
higher road tax than 20 cents on the
800. When a new road is laid out the
road commissioners are authorized TO col
lect additional taxes sufficient to build
it. When the roads become blocked
with snow the commissioners are
authorized to remove the obstructions,
borrowing money to pay for the work
and getting it back by taxation.
Senator Pilling denounced the bill as
inconsistent and the outgrowth Of strife
between the city of New Castle and the
rural portions Of the hundred.
Julian d. Janvier explained the bill at
the request of the Senate. He said he
did not want the rural taxpayers to pay
more than those of the town The new
road and snow provisions were to meet
emergencies. By the act passed several
weeks ago New Castle city took charge
of seven miles of roads within its cor
porate limits, paying the commissioner
$500 for use in the rural districts, where
the commissioners have sixty miles OF
roads to take care Of
Senator Pyle said the only trouble wa
that New Castle hundreds resources
we're too great and the roads were poorl,
kept. Senator Pilling said the explana
tions only made the matter worse
The bill was recommitted for furthe
and better explanation. At the after
noon session the bill was taken up an
