REBUILD THE KINGS HIGHWAY
Effort to Have State Road Macada-
mized Throughout Delaware

An effort to interest the Legislature
in having the Old Kings Highway
rebuilt, extending from the city of
Wilmington to the lower part OF the
State, is being made by Josiah Mar
vel of Wilmington, and he launched
his project before the public high
ways committee of the House. The
idea of Mr.. Marvel is to rebuild the
road, which would be approximately
one hundred miles in length, and for
the State to authorize loan for that
purpose. His plan is to tax automo-
biles using the road, according to
horsepower, and in this manner he
thinks fully enough revenue would be
received from automobile owners to
nav the interest on the bonds. Mr..
Marvel pointed out the growing need
of such a road and he sought to in
terest the members of the committee.
Relative to taxing automobile owners
according to horsepower of their ma
chimes, he suggests that if a person
owns a sixty horsepower machine ne
pay a yearly tax of $50. With TIT
construction of such road and wha
is being done and contemplated al
regards good roads building in the
different counties, Mr.. Marvel be
lieves that in five yeas Delaware
highways would be in excellen
shape.

able to speak English at all he could
only give signs and motions, by which
those gathered around him finally
ascertained that he was three hundred

The supposition is, his inability to

Clovis, N. NJ, July ia fire which

at about thirty-two thousand dollars,
twenty-eight thousand of this repres-
ented by stock and the remainder by
