NO NINETY FOOT
ROAD In SUSSEX
General DUPONT Says State
mentS About Boulevard
We're Wrong

General T. Coleman dupont says
there is no intention Of grading or
building a 9O-foot wide road as part
Of the boulevard he is to give TO the
state The statement was made in
these columns few days ago that
a roadway thirty-feet wide with con-
crete foundation is being built, and
that grading IS being done for a
thirty-foot wide road ON each side of
the centre road. These statements
were made on information furnished
by a prominent Sussex countian who
was visiting Wilmington. Il now de-
velops that he was mistaken, as he
evidently confused the clearing of the
right OF way OF brush and other
growths with grading
1--WE are not grading a 90-foot road,
nor have we any intention of grading
a 90-foot road" said General DUPONT
today. "Nor have we any intention
of building a roadway thirty feet wide
on a concrete foundation. Such state
ments were certainly very far from
right"
General DUPONT does not wish any
mis-statements as to the boulevard to
get around, and the above will correct
the wrong impression given about the
Sussex road operations.
