There would be a demand by nom
residents for Delaware farms, and the
Delaware river and bay and the At
lantic ocean fronts of the State would
be transformed into pleasure resorts
like along the New Jersey coast. It
would mean new era for Delaware
and all the more so because of the
improvements in train service that
eventually are to be made for lower
Delaware since the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has leased the
Delaware railroad and allied branches
The State of Delaware owns thou
sands of acres of land in SUSSEX
county that will leap into high values
with the prospects of good roads to
connect the northern with the south
ern end of Delaware, and attract
wealthy residents from other States
and to take up their summer resi-
dences in this State. This land, some
of it low and marshy and some of it
sandy and along the ocean, has been
sought more than once through legis-
lative enactments by scheming land
grabbers, who expected to get it for
a nominal sum, but if it is retained
by the State it will prove a valuable
asset within a few years that would
go long ways toward paying of
an issue Of good road bonds.
General duPOnts generous Offe-
was discussed on all sides today. He
does not own any land in lower Della
ware, but has big estate out il
Christiana hundred, and a country
home near Cambridge. Md He has
visited lower Delaware many times
however, and is familiar with tho
possibilities of development of the
lower counties. particularly by good
roads, of which he is an ardent ad-
yocate. He has financially aided the
Levy Court in constructing macadam
highways near his property in Chris

Mr.. Richards Discusses Subject.
General DUPONT has not yet return

his Office today that he would prob
ABLY not return until tomorrow.
Robert H. Richards, who is one OF
Mr.. duPont's counsel, said today that
/ he had no authority to discuss the
subject
he was asked if he was one Of Mr..
duFonts counsel and replied that he

current at cents per X. W, while
the other bid was for 4 cents per X.
W., when as a matter of fact, it was
not to be measured, but to be by a
fixed sum per lamp?
what do you think of having to
pay Sc per year to have your meters
read? What do you think of the town
being compelled to put i'm meters to
measure the water for street sprink-
ling and then paving for the water
used? What do you think of having to
pay this company for over l-2 mill
lion gallons of water per year to flush
your sewers?
What do you think of the way by
which i'm ten years you may get your
pany for all the expenditures they
have made. with per cent interest
and $4,000 In addition? What do you
think of a lease with no penalties to
compel the company to perform its
contract? What do you think of any

increasing building and consequently
more users? What do you think OF
