FARMERS AFTER
ROAD IMPROVEMENT

Mill Greek hundred farmers surprised
the Levy Court yesterday. At the
meeting Of the Levy Court on Tuesday
a delegation of farmers, headed by
Richard G. Buckingham, invited the
court to meet them at Fairview school
house yesterday. When the members
rolled up in their automobiles they
were greatly surprised. There were
carriages lined in all directions. and
seventy-hve leading farmers were in
waiting. They use a stretch of road
about three and a half miles in length
to bring their produce to the Whining
ton markets where they spend their
money in return for clothing, shoes,
and what is necessary for their homes
and farms. But this is a summer road
and from October to May there are
times it is almost impossible.
Off the purpose of trying to induce
the Levy Court to remedy this con-
dition was the reason Of the gathering
Of the leading farmers yesterday.
They especially want two and a hall
miles of the road improved. Under
the bond issue Mill Creek hundred

Commissioner Taylor would like to gel

would cost S35.O0O. Hockessin has on,
new road leading to it now and th'
farmers who assembled yesterday ask
ed that the pike wait for another yeai

road from Hendrickson's Corner b.

The members of the Levy Court re
| fused to commit themselves beyon,
saying that the farmers in that sec
tion deserved consideration. It would
require about $1,000 TO build the road
