IL is one Of these inland snakes that have
crept In here We have killed al the
WAFER snakes and nov we shall have to
turn orr attention 10 Inland suskes 1t
costs about $4,000 q mile TO macad
am'zs road. This piece OF road is about
eight CT ten miles long and 1t will cost
$1,000 That is practically the amount
that New Castle hundred wants the
county of New Castle TO expend for it's
benefit at the expense Of the taxpayers
81 large. That Is just precisely what il
does and | am opposed to gny such thing
New Castle hundred gets nearly ali the
stone that the prisoners OF the county
break ia the jailyard Il Is hauled 10
Neg Castle at puolic expense and is
broken there by prisoners from ali over
tho county. 1t is hauled BY the
county to this road and there Il
lies, the bed Of tho ROAD being
some sixteen ct wide with this stone
| asked some Of them why they did not
c vef the road over With dirt so that il
could be travelled on, and they said that
the county should do IT, It reminds me
of L tramp who asks for bed in which
TO sleep. aud Is then too lazy to pail
the coverings over him. 1t Is Just the
P sition those people are IN. They
are asking the poor taxpayer of New
Castle county to cover up these stones
Il Is one Of the grossest or outrages to
ask IT, have ten miles Of hundred road
maintained at county expense Yet they
come here 10 get this done never
heard otsueh legislation Ia all my ex-
perience any where 1t is class legisla
ton, and should be stopped. It is q
wonder that New Castle hundred has
not come here and asked us TO compel
he county TO Keep up the private fences
Of he hundred. as for the wear and
ear of hauling coal to the emshouse aud
asylum, 1t is taken ont there on the
railroad unlosded on the siding, and
hauled in carts 10 the institution, only
about one quarter Of mile away Then
another excuse they make is that people
from Maryland travel tue road They
evidently don't want ybody to come
from Maryland and pass through
their bundled, They want them to hy

Castleg Don't the New Castle hundred

hundred in the county, It is q most
surprising position. II they will mend
all the roads ID New Castle county BY

for ore hundred to make such a short
cut at the expense Of the whole county
