Gen. DuPOnt'S Offer
WOULD ADVANCE
$2,OOO,OOO Fer WORK
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, Feb. 21-That Gen
eral T. Coleman DUPONT really offered
TO eXpend S2,000,000 of his own money
to build a State boulevard from the
northern to the southern boundary of
Delaware, became known here to-day.
His offer, made to Governor Pennewill,
and I'm the presence of Robert II. Rich
ards and Daniel o. Hastings, whom
he called in, to discuss the legal phases
Of the proposition. was TO advance
personally the money for construction
of wide boulevard Of macadam from
the Pennsylvania to the Maryland
boundary, and to form a company that
would look after all details of award
ing contracts and the actual cOnstruc-
ton of the highway.
General dupont suggested a boule-
ward one hundred feet wide, to pro-
vide room for trolley tracks If they
ever should be desired for the plsnt-
ing Of trees, space for the erection of
telegraph poles, and a roadway part
macadam and part natural dirt road.
While General DUPONT thought such
a boulevard could be constructed for
one million dollars. he said he would
put up two million dollars II neces-
sary, and in any event if his offer was
not considered feasible he would do
nate one hundred thousand dollars TO
the State to supplement an appropri-
alton It might make to build a modern
highway through Delaware.
General DUPONT figured out that the
building Of such a road would enhance
property values and bring such an In
crease i'm taxes that he could be re-
paid annually in installments out OF
the increased taxes coming into each
county.
If Delaware doesn't get a modern
State highway provided for before the
present Legislature adjourns we might
as well lock up the State and throw
the key into the Delaware Bay" was
the way one assemblyman summarized
the situation.
While General duPonts suggestion
that he form a company, construct the
highway and be reimbursed I'm annual
installments by the counties from
increased taxes that would come from
enhanced land values may not conform
to the Constitution, Mr. Richards and
Mr.. Hastings are trying to evolve some
method that will enable the State 10
take advantage OF General duPOnt's
offer
II the three counties should agree.
