COMPREHENSIVE PLANS.


Have you any further ideas in con-
nection with the road that would be OF
INTEREST,"" General dupont was asked
by the reporter.
Il have some general plans, as yet
so undeveloped that the final outcome
might not be recognized as having the
present beginning he replied. For
instance: Il practical. I want 10 es-
tablish, say every ten miles. a station,
where patrons of the road could stop
and ask questions about lands, crops,
properties for sale, be given informa-
tionton about surrounding country,
feed horses, get gasoline, luncheon OR
tea, have minor repairs made to auto
mobiles or get horse shod; keep early
plans for farmers, and perhaps thor
ouehbred stock. distribute circulars
telling of the advantages OF Delaware,
and for many other purposes.
This station would be looked al
ter by the family of the man who look
ed after that section OF the road. or by
one OF the land owners or an arrange
ment made by which an organization
of those interested i'll Delaware's fiji
ture could make experiments and
show the advantage of certain me-
| thods OF larming or OF certain fertili-
zerS,. etc.
Il could go OH indefinitely telling
the many advantages station OF that
kind would be, if properly run by the
| people really interested in Delaware.
Some of the Western States make
| large appropriations through their
legislatures to have the farmer given
the advantages OF the best methods OF
farming, send men to make demon
strations and to give instruction If
| the most recent improvements III farm
ag, etc. and Delaware is just as able
to do this as other States, but Della
wares greatest drawbacks is that toe
| many men are looking ior politica
| jobs. when ii they knew more OF the
real value OF her resources and how tc
use them, it would be only duty tina
would make a man accept politlca
position when he could do SO muct
better without one.
. when do you expect to start actua
work on the road?" was the next que )
ton.
The surveys will be far enougl
along in sixty days, | hope to let th
Commissioners decide on location TO
part OF the road" replied General du
Pont.
"After This, a final survey with eros
section and profile will have to b
made; | expect to start work the da
! after any one section is accepted b

General DUPONT has returned from
him home near Cambridge In yes
terday's Evening Journal is found the
following interview:
With the prospect OF more settled
weather, however, General DUPONT is
ready to get right down to the preli-
minary details, and he expects that the
surveys will have progressed sufficient
y in two months to permit the Com
missioners designated under the law
empowering the dupont boulevard
constructon-the Governor, the Sec
retary of State and the Lieutenant
Governor-to determine upon the To-
cation of part OF the road al least.
TO START WITHOUT DELAY.
Then says General DUPONT, 81
expect to start work the day after any
one section is accepted by the Com
uissoners.'
1t should be understood that the To-
cation o. the road has not been deter
mined upon, and thar it will depend
entirely upon the surveys and coadi-
tions that are revealed by those SUR
veys. The location OF the DUPONT
highway, too, will be determined by
the three Commissions designated by
the law empowering the construction
of roads by boulevard corporations,
which was passed by the recent Legls-
| la.ure. General dupont today made it
clear that the route for the road is
| yet to be determined.
What are your plans for going
| through towns on the line OF the
| road?
Il have been giving this subject a
great deal OF thought" he replied
| There is strong sentiment i'll some
| places in favor OF the road going
through the towns, and il the ROAD
| Commissioners eel that this is advis-
| able | am willing to consider it along
| the following line, but we must re-
member the condition 10 be kept II
| mind.
MIGHT GO THROUGH TOWNS
The streets are in many instance!
too narrow and crooked and are no
likely to run in line parallel to the
proposed rod. No arrangement ha
| been made with the municipal authorl
ties; each case must be handled sep
ar2telk. according to local clrcum
stances.
| Assuming that the Commissioned
feel location throgh certain town i
desirable and that town wants rh
road. II the town would give righ
of way from its northern TO its south
ern boundary, say one hundred fee
wide, running practically parallel t.
the survey of the road, and should pas
necessary ordinances to properly mari,
tain the road at all times. the sal
right OF way to be one OF the presen
streets w;dened perhaps, or an entire
ly new street, as might be determined
t | would then consider building throug
that town, say iour roads 10 feet wild
, and two sidewalks separated by gras
, plots and trees or curbing; one roo
l each way to be used for vehicles pulle
by animal or man and one road eac
way for motor propelled vehicles, thc
