AN EXPERIMENT IN ROAD BUILDING

On Tuesday last, the Levy
Court of New Castle County
directed the Highway Commits
sioner to prepare plans and esti-
mates of the cost of building an
improved road from Mt. Pleasant
to Summit Bridge. Outside the
local interest attaching to this
road from the fact that marks
the division between st. Georges
and Pencader Hundred, one-half
being in each hundred, this road
is planned to be gravel or sand
and clay road. In other words,
instead of freighting and haul
ing crushed stone to the place, 1t
is proposed to utilize the mater
ial at hand. There is no reason
why this experiment should not
have been tried before. The U.
S. Bureau of Good Roads has
beenurging such roads for years,
and has built many experimental
miles in different places through
out the country. This kind of a
road can be built for very much
less price per mile, and cunse-
uuantly more miles can be built
for the same amount of money.
For communities like that of
ours, this dirt road is probably
better suited than stone road.
The farmers, who are the main
users of country roads do not,
as u rule, use shoes on their
horses. Hard stone roads are
not suitable for unshod horses,
breaking their hoofs and IN
time Gripping them. The 10,
cality selected is a very favorable
one. The road there is wide
rather high and well drained. Ii
is now in fair condition, due tc
the placing of a lot Of stone there
on several years ago when the
prisoners at the County Jail were
compelled to break stone. These
stones, however, have never set
tied and made a good drive way
because they were just dumped
in the middle of the road withou
rolling or other preparation
Still, they have made a ridge
which has assisted in keeping
the road well drained. The test
will be watched with a grea
amount of interest, not only by
the people of this section but b,
all users of the public roads al
over the State. If it is fount
possible and expedient to use tn
dirt road, it will be but shor
time before the people of Della
ware will have fine system Q
roads. The people want goo
roads, but do not think the.
should pay eight thousand o
more dollars per mile for them.

said it was fierce" The elevator

more than the grain was worth. Some

of Corruption


Chicago. July Hollow widespread
is the grating by public officials
throughout the United States and the
slow awakening of the public to a
realization of the extent to which Of
ficials are profting by the funds of
the taxpayers and from the extortion
of brides and perquisites from those
who would enrich themselves at the
expense of the community, is revealed
by telegraph dispatches from the var
iouS states.
From time to time within the last
few months have come scattering tel
egrams telling of the indictment OF
public officials for the betrayal OF
their trusts, of the failure of banks
through miSmanagement that some
times barely escaped criminal prose-
cution, and the league of supposed en-
forcers of the law with those who
break the laws.
In some states it is found that legis-
lators have been guilty of accepting
brides. In California they have been
expelled and one has been sent to
Jail. In other states, as in Arkansas,
they are under indictment. In many,
as in New York, favors are admitted
| ly a matter of barter and sale.
In New Orleans and other cities
it is found that the police are leagued
with criminals to prey upon the law
abiding citizens, and in others, as
| in Philadelphia, politicians have
grown rich from the earnings OF dis
reputable dives. In scores of cities
the city administrations are being in
vestigated by grand juries who are un,
covering corrupt practices that were
suspected but are now revealed.
Prominent citizens are being
brought to shame before those who
had been taught to regard their pro
bity as above reproach, and they
island before their fellow citizens as
perverters of justice and instigators
of violation of the laws for their pri
, yate profits. In Oregon senator Of
, the United States has been convicted
and congressman are on trial.

About three years ago Francis Kos
