COUNTY ROADS UNDER LEVY COURT
Farmers Institute Thinks That Body
Should Have Charge

Farmers Institute Thinks That Body
Should Have Charge
AT meeting OF the Farmers Institute
of New Castle County held in the Irish
American Hall in Wilmington Wednes-
day it was decided to ask the general
assembly to pass bill which will make
number of important changes in the
matter of taking care OF the public roads
of this county. Under the new plan all
roads in this county would be directly
under the control Of the Levy Court.
On account Of the illness of James Hos
singer, the president of the body, Theo-
dore F. Clark presided. John T. Hayes
was secretary. The subject discussed was
Desirable Changes in the Present County
Road Management" and committee
composed of Daniel W. Corbit, Thomas
TT. Weldin, Richsrd G. Buckingham,
Merritt N. Willis and E. T. Richards,
which had been appointed to consider
the subject made report which was
taken up and acted upon by sections.
The report first recommended that the
Levy Court OF this county be retained
in its present shape except that at the
election in 1908 three members should be
elected for four years and four for two
years after which time each member
should be elected for a full term OF four
years.
S. Frank Ewart, former member OF
the Levy Court thought that three Levy
Court commissioners, one from each end
Of the county and one from Wilmington
was enough.
John T. Hayes favored having eleven
commissioners and giving them charge
of the roads.
Charles Megginson spoke Of the old
twelve commissioner plan.
Henry G. Mahaffy and William Peach
favored the eleven commissioner plan.
Arnold Naudain, Jr., favored the seven
commissioner plan.
IL hdo uCCi0CU W nuoP1 1iIc IcpOib Vi
the committee on this subject. There
was some discussion over the matter OF
salary for the Levy Court commissioners,
and it was decided to allow it to remain
as at present. Some of those present
favored 81 900 year.
1t was decided to recommend that the
road taxes Of the county be collected in
the same manner as other county taxes
and that the county assume the debt of
the different hundreds.
There was considerable discussion over
the matter of abolishing the Office of road
commissioner. Many favored legislating
them out of Office at once, while others
favored the report of the committee to
discontinue the Offices as the terms expire
and this plan was adopted. 1t was de-
cided to have three road supervisors for
each hundred selected instead of road
commissioners. These supervisors are
to receive 81 day each. but none can
serve for more than so days in a year.
They must also publish an itemized &C.
count of their work.

of virtue, the EUe,y EUenifg Keeps
up its trade against the so,falled
''index job It devotes consid-
erably more than a column OF
editorial space to a list of the
"jobs" covering nearly forty
years and thirty-one jobs. In
only one instance was the legis-
lature that passed the act pro-
viding for an index Republican,
and in that instance the official
was Democrat. A rather hasty
perusal of Eoery EUenings files
for the periods when these legis-
latures were in session, and the
bills under consideration fails to
find a single line in condemna-
ton. Now, however, with a Re-
publican legislature and Repub-
lican officials to do the work land
receive payment therefore) it be-
comes a heinous crime to permit
the old books to wear ont. I'm
questionably there has been out
rageous charges and allowances
for this class of work. So there
has been in other directions, no.
tably in City Council of Whining
ton by the holding of committee
meetings at one dollar per meet
ing. But in all the cases that
have come to light, Democracy
has been in control.
But this question is one that
should be considered outside of
politics. AS we suggested sew
eral weeks ago, the records and
the indices are public and Every
Euening could satisfy itself by a
personal examination as to the
need of indices in question. 1t
would be as sensible for the own
er of that paper to hold its edi-
tor responsible for the wearing
outof the type, presses and other
fixtures of his plant as is the at
tempt to hold the officials re-
sponsible for the wearing out of
books which are used hundreds
Of times daily. THE TRANSCRIPT
has always contended that this
matter should be left to the
Courts. The Chancellor and
Judges are the ones to pass upon
the correctness of the records,
and should be given authority to
provide that they be kept in a
condition in which they serve the
purpose intended. Another fea-
-ture that we called attention to
before is, that, in the Prothono-
tary's Office particularly, condi-
tions change every ten years,
owing to the provisions of the
law which releases property from
the lieu of judgments ten years
after they are due. This would
seem to require a new indexing
at least once in ten years. While
the cost may appear large at the
time, it does not come every
year, and we should also remem.
Der that all of the cost of main.
tanning our Courts can be nulified
by failure to keep the records,
including the indices, correctly
and up-to-date.

Worlds Deepest Hole

While the Michigan copper country can no longer boast to having pene- trated the earth to greater distance than any other mining section, 1t re. mained for couple of upper peninsu- Ia Michigan men to exceed the record established here. The men were James Tobin and Juhn Ryan formerly of Ishpeming, who are doing diamond drill contract work in South Africa. They have just finished the deepest hole ever bored. Its depth is 5,55G feet, which is l,j56 feet deeper than the guara nteed capacity of the No. P. brill with which the work was done and which is approximately $50 feet deeper than the Tamarack No. 3 shaft which for the last two years has held the record for depth. The Tamarack | No ? shaft is still the deepest shafi in the world, and in it man can get further away from the sunlight than anywhere else, since the diamond drill hole in South Africa is probably DO, over three quarters of an inch in dia | meter towards it's lower extremity | Michigan Mining Gazette.

 The Mining World says; Produc- ton of the Michigan mines amounted to virtually l9, ,30O0,000 pounds of re, fined copper last month, which, based on an average selling price of the metal for that period, brought gross returns of $2,93S, 500. While possibly not keeping pace with the large in. crease in productions by the Arizona mines, the Michigan properties show substantial growth and are now turn. ing out copper at the rate of 232 900, .. 600 pounds per annum. With re turn to normal conditionS-the labor difficulties eliminated and mines working full capacity there will be a considerable gain.

 From he Prescott Herald
 The real cause of the shutdown at the Octave has leaked out, and it is now understood on pretty good au thority that it was caused more from outside reasons than from any trouble the mine, the oil trouble in Kansas having something to do with 1t. The owners of the Octlve are all oil men and stand close to the Standard. All their time and money are required to prosecute the fight ia Kansas and in- somuch as the Octave had reached a place where some dead work had to be done as we'll as the immediate ne cessity of the expenditure of large amount of money on the road, 1t is thought that this explains the real reason of the shut.down.
