MOTT TO SHARE EXPENSE
PERMANENT BEACH ROAD
WILL STAND ONE-THIRD OF COST
EVEN IF 1T HITS HIM $4,000
Made This Offer to Kent County Levy
Court Yesterday in His Appeal for
New Woodland Beach Road

James R. Mott, president of the
Woodland Beach Company, appeared
before the Kent County Levy Court
yesterday and urged the court to do
something toward building a new
road connecting the Delaware Bay
resort with the main land. He offered
to pay one third of the cost of con-
struction, even If that one-third
should reach S., 900. This appeared to
frighten the court and action was de-
ferred until more light is obtained on
the subject as to just what the two
thirds will be. Mr.. Mott and the resi-
dents of the Island have been anxious
for sometime to get some permanent
improvements made in road construc-
tion. The residents of the Island are
taxed the same as those on the main
| land and they are demanding that
they receive attention. In recent
years fully $50, 900 has been spent on
this marsh road each time to be wash
ed to sea by the high tides. President
Mott is opposed to any more patch
work and now favors a permanent
road construction, which he argues
can be done at comparatively small
cost if it is gone about in the right
way. In offering to pay one-third of
the cost for the value it will be to
his bayside resort, he is showing a
disposition that is pleasing the resi-
dents of the Island and they have
Joined him in the movement to get
the Levy Court to make the necessary
appropriation. At the meeting of the
Levy Court yesterday, it was decided
to build two more bridges-one to b.

DOVER'S STREET LIGHT COSTLY
Feeling Running High That Town
Might Save So, 500 a Year.

A movement is on foot in Dover
which has for its object the saving
to the municipality of 50, 500 year
on street lighting or $25, 600 in ten
years. Dover is now paying about
$4, 500 to support a system of street
lighting by arc lights and these, too,
are run on "moonlight/schedule
that permits the turning off of arc
lights whenever the slightest bit of a
moon shows its face and sometimes
when the moon should show her face
but simply does not. Recently,
since a new gas light has been put
on demonstration there, it has been
shown that the streets could be made
nearly as light as day by its use ;
that more lights could be used than
there are arc lights; that each lamp,
through. its intricate mantel arrange
ments, burns but ten feet of gas at
high pressure each hour; that the
cost for nearly twice as many lamps
would, not be half the cost of the
present arc lighting. The patent
cannot be installed except the lamps
are rented. Even with this, it is
said, the saving would be easily
SO, 500. The matter is being investi.
