The Kent County Levy Court has re-
fused to provide for building good roads,
and it is more than probable that their
plans may be checkmated.
The matter is being discussed in all its
phases and the advocates of good roads
have arrived at the conclusion that the
County Treasurer cannot legally pay over
to any member of the Levy Court one
dollar of what is known as "The Good
Road Fund, while the Soper bill is rec
ognized as a legal statute.
THE Good Road Fund" for Kent
County is created from an assessment
that is separate and distinct from the as
sessment which gives the Levy Court its
moneys for road expenditures. Under
the act, which was passed in 1905, to
every 81, 900 raised by the county or q
district the State adds 81 900, up to
$4,000 for the county, which gives a
fund Of 100000 for Permanent Road
Building"
This fund is distributed directly By the
County Treasurer to each member Of the
Levy Court prorata to be expended in
his district, and under his Cthe mem
ber's) direction. Thus from the fund
each member secures s., 900 for use in his
district in building permanent roads -
Now the Soper bill passed by the las
Legislature specifically provides that
hereafter all permanent roads to be con- !
structed in Kent County must be built .
by contract and under the direct control |
and supervision of State Good Roads I
Commissioner tor Kent County to be APP
pointed by the Governor, and under
this provision the Governor has, as is well !
known, appointed c. B. Hope of Dover.
If this State law means anything, it |
assuredly means that ALL moneys appOr. |
toned by the State at least, must be ex-
pended under the control of the Good /
Roads Commissioner for Kent County. |
This subject is now being discussed BY |
the farmers interested in good roads aud |
whose taxes provide the funds for this |
purpose, and they are outspoken in their
belief that the "GOod Road Fund" al
ready provided for should be expended |
under the direction of Mr. Hope.

For the purpose of demonstrating tc

varieties, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has about closed a deal for the pur-
chase of an eighty acre farm at Bacon, a
settlement between Laurel and Delmar,
on the Delaware Railroad, on which an
experimental farm will be established.
1t is the intention of the company to
have lectures given there on horticulture
as well as to give practical demonstrations
of what Sussex soil can produce. Farm
ers from every section of the State will
be urged to attend these lectures. 1t is

Company is now preparing announce

years the Pennsylvania Railroad Com

corps Of experts give a series of farm lee
lures to Pennsylvania farmers from the /

lines Of that State. It is not intended at

ELABORATE PLANS FOR
THE NEW CASTLE FAIR

No event in Delaware in the past
10 years has been looked forward to
with quite so much real interest as
the approaching New Castle county
fair to be held at the Gentlemen S
Driving Park, Wilmington, on
August 3Ist, September 1st, I'd and
sd. The desire Of the management
throughout the year 1909, or in fact
since the close of the 1908 fair, has
been to make this fair bigger and
better" in every way.
The races are under the capable
direction of H. 7. Wallace, who
has successfully managed number
of race meetings in the past few sea-
sons. The racing each day will be
Tor good purses. $500 each on
Tuesday and Friday and two 5000
purses and one $500 purse on We'd
nesday and Thursday. The exec
utive committee hopes to increase
the seating capacity of the grand
stand, and visitors to the race track
will be provided with comfortable
quarters
The farm machinery department
IS rapidly filling up with exhibitors,
who realized the value of the oppor-
tuuity to show their machinery to
a number Of interested people, who
cannot be reached otherwise. Ma
chinery will be shown here this year
that has never been shown in this |
vicinity before. This department |
alone will be we'll worth the price
of admission to the grounds
The women's department is to be
housed in two tents, the needle
work in one and the pastry in an
other. In this way the attraction
to the flies will be confined to one
place and exhibitors of needlework
need not hesitate to send their ex-
hibits, as the objection to flies will
be reduced to minimum.

company, which was formed to take
charge of the Bungalow theatre, last
night received a telegram from John Cort
of Seattle. lessee of the Bungalow, tell
ing him that the terms offered by the
rev company were accepted. This means
that Mr. Grant and his associates take
charge of the Bungalow under lease Of
IA years, and that Willard Mack and his
stock company will open there on jan
uary / for an indefinite run. r. p. Sutton
of Seattle, partner Of Mr.. COrt in the
Northwestern Theatrical syndicate, mas
abandoned his fight to get control OF the
Bungalow.
MT Sutton is now endeavoring TO get
control of the Grand theatre to run melO-
drama at popular prices, and he may buy
the lease from A. 3. PeltOn of PeltOn a.
Smutzer who hold it. MI PeltOn's the
atricaI career in Salt Lake since he took
personal charge of the Grand has been
a cbeckere1 one. Prior to Mr.. PeltOn s
advent on the scene, A. 3. Jensen man
aged the house for PeltOn q Shutter
and apparently matters were running
smoothly. Since Mr.. Peiton hlmseit ar
rived however, there has been merry
whirl at the Grand. 1t is understood that
Pefton will be glad to see the lease. anu
that the deal will go through shortly.
