just so long as the prescnl policy |
of working our roads by dumping in
the gutter mud just so long will we
have poor roads. Gravel of excel
lent quality for road making has
been found on the farm of Dalrymple
near Tuttles corner and can be had
at small cost. 1t has been proposed
to ask all having teams to haul one
or more DAYS, for nothing, aud Gov
er our main roads as far as we can,
for where it has been used it has
made splendid road.
A few days ago l with Others
drove to the farm of John Swenson
situated on what is known as the
Cougar road, crossing the mountain
near Beemerville The road was
pretty rough, but when we reached
Swenson we found quite nice place
and the finest potatoes and corn that
we had seen anywhere. l wouldn't
care to travel over that road in the
night time.
The Flatbrook Fish Club recently
purchased the Hornbeck farm, near
Tuttles Corner, and are now having
some lots ploughed and sown with
buckweat for the birds. This is
all right but many would like to see
a law passed prohibiting the killing
of quail for term of years, but,
fear that the law will not be passed
The great drawback to the rural
sections of this county and particu-
larly in the over mountain or Della
ware valley is the lack of good roads
and this can be materially helped
by the use of wide tire wagons. ]
see by the Laws of 1900, page 40,
that cities containing population
of less than 10000 Inhabitants may
pass ordinances requiring the use OF
tires not over inches in width up
on It's macadnmlzed streets on wag
ons weighing with or without loads
1900 pounds or over, under a severe
penalty. If cities can compel this
why caunot town committees be
EMPLOYER to pass similar ordinances
upon wagons carrying 1900 pounds
md upward If our rural legislat
ors should all pull together, such {
law could be passed for Macadam i.
out of sight in Sussex, and if wide
tires are beneficial to our roads ant
all will admit that they are let III
have that.
J If no accident befalls our frui
crop, the apple yield will be un
usually large, for the trees are wei
, loaded. The effect of last year
juice is apparent occasionally but i
is not so dangerous as the simon pur
Jersey lightning.
Any one wishing to visit Gettys
, burg can go by the Penna., New
Jersey Central or Lehigh Valley r
r., from Newark station for S9.4
: round trip. This is cheap enougl
to enable the veteran to look owe
the ground he stood upon in tina
memorable battle.
New Jersey appropriates 24,00
dollars for stocking our streams, an
paying the game and fish warde
for watching that no one capture
, fish or game illegally and yet W
a have fewer fish than we had fort.
