lproprIaiInE la0.O00 therefor.

fpropriating $4,000 therefor.
For many years neither Kent nor SUSSEX
county has had any institution, supported
by the State, where victims Of accidents
could be taken The only alternative was
to take the patients 90 Wilmington. The
legislators from the two lower counties
have consequently voted large approprla-
tlons to New Castle county and Whining
ton institutions with reluctance.
Whenever contagious diseases develop
in Kent or Sussex, the victims are herded
together I'm shnnties outside Of the towns.
The establishment OF the new hospital
would do away with this. II is proposed
to have the institution governed by a
board OF nine directors who shall be ap-
pointed by the Governor from the medical
societies OF the three counties OF tho
State mad who shall serve without pay.
This would ensure competent physicians
on the board.

n bill authorizing the Levy Court OF sus-
sex county to appropriate funds for tho
Improvement Of the public road from

depth. The section is one Of the best
strawberry growing districts In Delaware,
but rhe farmers thereabouts 1fe unable TO
market their crops because Of the poor
roads.

entire Journal which Included the record
