both Dover and Laurel, in Della

proper time for the people of Mil
ford to get active and see what can
be done for the town of Milford.
We have for a depot an old struct-

neither modern accommodations

shelter from the storms for passen-

no effort for themselves, but have
trusted to the men who have acted

railroad to look after their interests;
but up-date, the only thing the
people see that is tangible for
their comfort is nothing doing.
The directors enjoy the annual
passes they hold for being the di-
rectors " for the Pennsylvania rail-
road, which is the majority stock
owner of the company, and it is
difficult to believe that they have
20 little influence with their COM
oanY, that their personal efforts for
having the terminal conditions at
Milford bettered, have brought no
esults. We believe that they have
allied to make demands for Milford,

ng done. Will the people act for
themselves? Will proper petitions

There is a duty which pedestrians
and vehicles owe to automobile
drivers, and that is, that they use
due diligence to prevent accidents.
It is frequently the case that boys
or even grown people will stand in
the middle Of the road in front of
approaching automobiles, until
they are compelled to stop entirely,
before the offenders will attempt to
leave the roadway. This is a
source for dangerous accidents to
life OF limb, and a penalty should
be imposed on all who practice this.
Again many drivers of teams make
no attempt to permit automobiles
TO get by them even where the road
way is wide and sufficient for both
vehicles. We hope no accident
will occur to emphasize the neces-
sity of care on the part of the pub
lie, as well as on the part of auto
mobile drivers. There is no driver
of a machine but what breads an
accident, even to dog, because of
the pain and suffering it entails to
man or beast, and the monetary
loss involved, and these drivers
constantly take chances to save ac-
cidents of this character, which
ieopardize their own and passen-
gers safety. Just keep the fact in
mind, that carefulness is an impor-
tant factor for the public to observe,
as well as for the driver of auto

WE want every taxpayer to think
over the matter of taxes now paid
for road building and road repairs
IN both Kent and Sussex counties.
In Sussex county several districts
are paying a special road tax of
twenty centslon the hundred dollars,
districts are paying ten cents and all
for this special tax for improving the
roads. We do not know just what
the exact amount of the money is
which is raised in Sussex county
for this purpose, but it has been
stated that over fifty thousand dol
lars is annually raised for the roads
and highways Of the county each
year in this county. In Kent the
amount is only five cents on the
hundred dollars of valuation, for
good roads purposes, and this raises
close to ten thousand each year.
The amount of the money now paid
for this purpose, and which is gen
orally expended without capable,
engineering direction, is largely
to bring the best results as
to road making, and would pay the
interest at four per cent. on a loan
