AGAINST BIG HIGHWAYS.
New York to Washington Plan
Criticised by U. s. Official.
FAVORS ONLY STATE ROADS.

DIRECTOR PAGE OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE, OPPOSES THE
SCHEME OF $25, 600, 600 NEW YORK
SYNDICATE ON THE GROUND THAT
SUCH PROJECTS USUALLY FAIL
DELAwARE'S GIFT.
Opposition to the plan Of New York
capitalists to build great railway from
New York to Washington was voiced
yesterday by Logan Waller Page, di-
rector of the office of roads of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who declared
that private corporations and individ-
uals should not be encouraged to take
up the work of road building. He said
the work should be left entirely in the
hands of the States.
Announcement was made Saturday
that T. Coleman du Pont, president of
the Du Pont Powder Company, had
given 81 800, 600 to the State of Della
ware for the construction of a modern
highway the entire length of the State.
In addition, and according to dispatch
from Wilmington yesterday, number
of New York capitalists have formed a
company, with a capitalization of $25,
600, 900, to construct boulevard be-
tween New York and Washington. Ar
attempt has been made to interest Mr.
du Pont in their movement, according
to the dispatch.
SAYS PROJECTS USUALLY FAIL.
1t is the plan of the New York CAPT
talists to build highway l40 feet il
width at an approximate cost of $45,
600 mile, according to the dispatch
They have proposed to Mr.. du Pom
that the road passing through the Stat
of Delaware be made part of thu
system.
Mr.. Page declared yesterday that h
has received word of the offer of Mr.
du Pont and of the formation of tn
company, and that he is strenuously op
posed to the project. 1t is not goo
policy for road building to be done b.
private capital, he said.
"The government policy is opposed t
this kind of project" he continued
"All road building should be conducte
directly either by the State or count
governments. Roads are strictly pub
lie works, and should be built by publ
institutions, not private. / know littl
of the New York company just formed
and it may be very worthy corpora

THE BAY STATE.
Summary of Fifteen Field Meet
ings Held the Past Summer.

A Splendid Spirit of Enthusiasm and
Interest Shown at the Meetings
Which Were Held at Up to Date
Farmers Homes Instead of at Picnic
Grounds.
The Massachusetts state grange made
an enviable record the past summer
In regard to its grange field meetings
Fifteen were held, which were attend
ed by $500 people, representing All
oranges The largest meeting was at
Westboro, where the attendance was
$500, representing siXty-four oranges.
A splendid spirit of enthusiasm and
interest marked every meeting, and the
speaking and other exercises on each
occasion were full of life. of instruc-
ton and of inspiration for better work
ahead. Patrons drove long distances
to attend the meetings.
This year nearly every field meeting
in the series was held on good farm
where up to date methods, efficient eff
| fort and thorough cultivation were
much in evidence, and for the most
part the forenoon was spent inspecting
the farm and its growing crops. The
holding of the meetings on the farms
has been such a success and Is so
clearly in line with grange principles
and purposes that Il similar series will

Powder Man Will Spend About
100000 on Delaware Road.

Wilmington, Del, Feb. 26. -T.'Coe-
man du Pont, president of the Du Pont
Powder Company, after a conference
today with ex-Attorney-General Rich
ards, announced that he would bear the
expense of constructing a boulevard the
entire length of the State of Delaware.
The boulevard will be 103 miles in
length and will extend from Claymont,
on the north, to Selbyville, on the
south. The cost will be approximately
So, 600, 600.
Mr. du Points idea is to make the
boulevard about $50 feet in width, wit h
room for the installation of pubic util-
tiles. He will present the highway to
the State, with the reservation that
Governor Pennewil will appoint State
Highway Commissioner to keep the road
in repair. New York Tribune, Feb o.
Thi 8 is pretty fair offer but the
State of Delaware cannot afford t.
