Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del. Aug. 20.-It may bo
that the Democratic majority Of the
Kent county Levy Court which has
been holding Representative sopcr up
on his Good Roads efforts. viii find
that they are playiwy with edged tools
when thcy try 20 treat with disdain
a regularly enacted law Of the state.
At least this viii be so If the farmers
who are backing Representative Sopcr
can bring it about
Some OF the farmers who arc disgust
cd with tho Levy Courts action advo-
cate the holding up ofthc Good Roads
Fund comprised Of half State and half
county money. which the county treas
ufer now distributes TO the Levy court
men.
This fund Is the result of an act passed
In 1905 In which gives to the county $1,000
Of State money. for every $1,000 OF mon
cy raised by the county In a special as
sossmont. The limit Is $4,000 from the
State which makes a fund Of $4,000 for
tho county. In this county under tho
fund each Levy Courtman gets 5000 for
use In his district.
Now Il is argued that under the Soper
bin all road building in the county must
be done under contract and also under
the control OF the State highway a.om-
missioners appointed by the Governor for
/ Kent county. This commissioner is G..
B. Hope. who has been appointed aud
commissioned. The Levy Court thus FAR
has refused 10 bond the county in order
TO provide Commissioner Hope with fund
to do the work for which he was appoint
cd and although he has gathered vaiu-
able data and IS prepared TO go ahead
he finds hemsclf handicapped by a par
tisan Levy Courts obstinacy. But n
tho Soper law means anything. say tho
farmers. Il must mean that all moneys
coming to the county from the state
must be expended under its provisions,
