MIR. HOPE OFFERS
HIS SERVICES
But Democratic Levy Court Of
Kent SpurnS SOper Road
Building Law Plan

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, May 1.-THE formal ten
der Of his services to the Levy Court Com
missioners of Kent county. and which was
refused by the commissioners en- the
grounds that they will not put the soper
law into operation was made by c. B.
Hope. the State Highway Commissioner
for Kent county in a respectful letter
The letter as read to the Levy Court was
as follows:
Dover, Dell May End, 1870
To the President and Members of the Levy
Court OF Kent County:
Gentlemen :-Recognizing as every pro-
gressive citizen OF this State must. the
great importance of the question of Good
Roads, ] beg to present. as the Kent
County State Highway Commissioner, a
few pertinent facts for your conCidera-
ton.
Having been appointed to this office by
the Governor, under and by authority OF
ar Act of the General Assembly, it is my
earnest desire to render to the public
every service within my power. looking
to the improvement and maintenance Of
our highways. and to have the co-opera-
ton Of the Levy Court in that be-
half.
II has been urged, I believe, as one OF
the reasons why the Levy Court might
decline to render me any assistance, that
the Highway Commissioner is not a, civil
engineer. In reply to that, l have but
10 say that no such qualifications as TO
that was contemplated in the Soper Good
Roads Bill. Section ? OF the Act clearly
sets forth the duties and powers of the
Commissioners. and certainly that is not,
even by implication, one of the require
ments.
Since the Levy Court contemplates
raising $4,000 for improved roads would
it not be wise to cooperate with the
Road Commissioner and thereby secure
the State appropriation
The State of Delaware is approrriating
large sums of money to New Castle coun-
ty for Good Roads purposes; and i'm
provements arc to be seen and enjoyed
on every hand. The State stands ready
to appropriate in like manner to Kent
County. Shall the Levy Court refuse il,
and decline TO take any steps in this di-
rection for the public good?
! There seems to be no good reason why
the Levy Court and the Highwa~ Com
missioner should not work harmoniously
together under the direction Of a compe-
tent Engineer. 1 assure you that in this
matter so vital to the interests Of all
our citizens. l shall be only too willing
to cooperate with you, in any proper
manner whatsoever. May l. hope that
your Honorable Body shall devise some
method whereby we may work together
IN this most laudable enterprise.
Yours very respectfully,
(sgd) c. 3. Hope.
State Highway Commissioner for Kent
County.
