Editorial Opinion
Road Improvement.

Road Improvement.
Milford Chronicle.
There Is an attempt being made to en-
force law passed few years ago. which
provides that when a certain number OF
residents along county road petition the
Levy Court that a special appropriation
OF one thousand dollars shall be made by
that body for that especial road improve
rent. We are in hearty sympathy with
the idea OF road improvement-and even
in sympathy with giving over the head
Of a member of the Court who may be re-
o1lcitrant; but we are not in accord with
giving the money to any individual to exc
reno according to an individual idea, or
without competent supervision from an
experienced road building civil engineer.
Sussex county needs better roads-in fact
the need is really a detriment to the
county-but we have no money to waste
by series Of individual experiments. A
competent road engineer should be given
tull charge Of the work. and the road
drainage, the road grading and road sur.
facing, be done according to we'll known
plans and principals. Let us have the
New Castle county road engineer law,
and then let us improve the roads accord
ing to one general and accepted plan
even should a loan Of 100000 be necessary
to do it quickly. We are heartily in favor
o. good roads, because they help the
farmer and increase the values of prop
eriy and because we need them now
