NEWARK

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Nov 25.--One Of
the most interesting men about Della
ware College is William Barton, gen.
eral superintendent of the buildings.
He is in his 10Th year and moves about
like a boy. He can give a graphic ac-
count of his trip across the plains
with General Fremont in 1919. He is
an entertaining talker and can keep
one interested for hours. He is full Of
life and looks to be about 45 or 80
years of age.
The matter Of appointing a post
master for this town is attracting but
little attention. In fact, the people
seem to have forgotten about the, mat
ter. Occasionally there is a report that
an appointment has been made, but
II is most likley that there will not be
anything done until the new year.
The next lecture Of the series Of the
historical events at Delaware College
will be given by Judge Henry c. Con-
rad, on the Three Signers of the
Declaration from Delaware The date
Is December 9Th.
William H. Kelley, who died sud-
denly last Monday while on a pleasure
trip to Wilmington, was buried yester-
day. Elder j. G. Eubanks, OF the Bap-
tist Church, officiated. Interment was
made at Head of Christiana. Odd Eel

coating which is composed Of a mix
ture OF stone about the size of hen
egg and cement. The road proper is
fourteen feet wide on a thirty-foot
roadway in the center Of the two hum
dred feet survey.
The spread Of stone now being
placed on it is about four or five
inches thick. and it is said that the
depth will range from six inches to
one foot on the whole route. This
will depend on the k'nd Of soil For
instance If piece of land Is encount-
cred where there does not seem to be
a solid bed that the material will be
placed about a foot thick on Il 50
that when it hardens that the loads
going over it will not break through.
In some places the abutments are
twenty-e'ght feet while in others
where the right of way has not been
secured they are only about twenty

Of about two miles four culverts have
been placed under the road bed so as
to drain the road. On both sides
bitches have been Gu. which lead 20
the bitches of the county where the
water is empted. All along the
stretch from the Laurel-Seaford road
to the almshouse small cutters have
been cut from the road bed through
the abutments so that the water can
be run into the bitches adjacent,
thence to the county bitches, thereby

DUPONT BOULEVARD LOOMING INTO SHAPE In SUSSEX
AND SOME VIEWS OF THE ROADBUHDNG OPERATIONS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN, Del, Nov. 25.-If
there is person in the Common
wealth of Delaware who has conceived
the idea that the Boulevard which
General T. Coleman dupont has now
started to construct, from the south
ern extremity of Sussex county to be
run 20 the northern boundary Of the
State, is not now under way, let that
one pay a visit to old Sussex and see
what is being done. Then the doubter
will change his mind and say that this
is the most gigantic undertaking that
has ever been made by any one man
for the best interests Of the masses OF
any state.
Only those who are directly con-
cerned and in touch with the thous-
ands of details can grasp and realize
what a tremendou undertaking 1t is
20 construct such a highway as it IS
the purpose of General dupont to
give to Delaware at a cost which will

highway are being repaired at Mr..
duPont's expense in order that bet
ter time can be made In hauling the
road building materials from here,
to where the gangs are at work. On
the main road from here 20 Millsboro,
short distance from the almshouse.
the United Gas Construction Company
of Philadelphia have placed some Of
their road building material on a
sandy plot as a test piece. The ma
terial is said 20 be refuse from gas
plants and resembles tar. and is given
the name OF "ugite." II is under
stood that the company placed the
building material on this sandy
stretch without making any founda-
tion just TO test It out for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining how long It will
wea;.
All along the line from here to Sell
byville work is progressing nicely and
It is learned here that the bridge
that is to span the pond at Mills
borO will be completed within a few
weeks II the weather continues TO bs
favorable. So far as can be learned
no stone has been placed on the roa'
south Of here.
Miss Annie Z. Cooper, who ha
charge Of the Indian River Vie'
House last summer, has been employ
ed at the DUPONT headquarters TO TAX
charge Of the commissary department

taken by James A. Dryden, photogra
pher, Of Georgetown, who also Will b.

in all likelihood exceed the two mil
lion dollar mark.
About the headquarters everyone
is on the move, and while to the casual
observer many things are done which
appear TO be useless, nevertheless all
go to help solve those many details
which have to be worked out, before
the construction work from one end
of the State to the other can be start
ed. With the minor details out of the
way. actual work of laying stone on
the highway is going on and is being
pushed with energy. While as rapid
progress is not being made as no
doubt could be, il is only due to the
fact that labor in this county, which
il is the desire of Mr.. DUPONT to enl-
ploy first in preference TO foreign la
Dor, is very scarce. Notwithstanding
his unwillingness TO bring foreign la
borers here. Mr.. DUPONT has found il
necessary TO do so or almost be COM
PEELED to abandon the work for the
time being. Now that the farmers are
about through harvesting their crops,
it is thought that more help will be
available and that greater advances
will be made on the construction, pro-
viding that the weather does not be-
come too severe.
Grading TO sebyTilIe.
E Gangs Of men are at work grading
from here to Selbyville and it Is
understood that this work will soon
be completed and operations Of plac-
ing the stone commenced.
