BUILDING DUPONT BOULEVARD
Construction Begins at Georgetown
Under Personal Supervision of Gen.
Dupont.-AeropIane Landings


Dupont.-Aeroplane Landings
With a concrete foundation of six
inches, covered over with crushed
rock and sand and then coated on
top with asphalt, the Coleman Du-
pont road, upon which the actual
road building began Thursday at
Georgetown, promises to be one of
the finest highways ever built in the
United States. 1t was decided to
lay concrete foundation and work
began at once about a quarter of a
mile from town in mixing the con-
crete and laying the bottom layer
on the roadbed which had been pre-
pared. Should the mixture prove
what it is claimed the entire road
will be built in this manner.
General Dupont has stated that
about every twenty miles on the
stretch of 110 miles will be an ex-
perimental farming station, where
farmers in that section can receive
advice free. The road is being
built forty feet wide, with trees
lining each side in a manner to aid
in draining g the road itself. Two
more gangs of men, numbering
about 200 each, went to work on
other streches of the road below
Georgetown but the section at
Georgetown is the first to actually
begin the building of the road, the
other sections still being at work
on the clearing and grading. A
novelty on the big road will be
landing places or airship at frequent
intervals along the stretch, General
Dupont declaring that air navigation
will soon be a matter of federal
business and that every complete
road will needs have landing places
for the areoplanes. The route from
Georgetown to Dover is supposed to
be decided, although not yet public
ly announced. 1t is now said that
the latest route, known as the back
route, will be used from George
town to Harrington, completely cut
ting out Milford, where considerable
trouble has been found in getting
the right of way.

out in fruit for modern treatment

Meadow farm will be set out in
apples and other orchard fruits next
spring. Other farms will be. pur-
chased besides those already owned
by DR.. Marvin for the enterprise.
1t will not be until the orchards and
Vineyards to be set out begin to bear
fruit that packing houses and grape
juice manufactures will be built,
although the company intends to
adequately provide for this feature
of the business when the time comes,
so that all the fruit will be packed

LOCAL SPORTSMEN MUCH
INTERESTED IN GAME LAW
STATE COMMISSION MAKES TEST
OF THE SUNDAY REST LAW
Two Gunners Fined $7.26 Each For
Running Their Dogs on Sunday
Trappers Also Under the Ban


Trappers Also Under the Ban
Trappers and gunners of Smyrna
and vicinity are deeply interested in
the new game laws which are being
rigidly enforced. The new Fish and
Game Commission, consisting of
Messrs. Bradford of New Castle
county; Reed of Kent, and Davis
of Sussex, met in Dover last week
and decided to rigidly enforce the
game laws. Frederic B. Murphy,
of Dover, was elected game warden
for period of three months, cover
ing the season for shooting game in
the fall and winter. The first cases
of violations of the new Delaware
game laws were tried at the State
Capital Monday before Magistrate
Wood. Frederic B. Murphy, who
has been selected by the new game
commission as principal warden,
was the complainant against Benja-
min Hollinger and Benjamin Fowler
of near Wyoming. The men were
charged with taking out their rabbit
dogs on Sunday and disturbing and
running game in violation of the
Sunday rest statute in the game
laws. The fines in each case
amounted to S7.26 at the stipulated
five dollars and costs. The Sunday
rest clause will be strictly observ-
ed. The severity of the new game
laws against trapping game and
animals may cause trouble in this
county. 1t will not prevent the
trapping of furbearing animals,
except squirrels, it is said But it
may, however, cause trouble for
the hundreds of farmers boys who
run to their rabbit snares every
morning and many of whom keep
their families in rabbit meat and
game all winter. The old question
of whether farmer has not a right
to catch and impound and kill a
rabbit, feeding and substituting
on his own farm, in the legal
season, may be taken to a high
court. The cunning season opens
in Maryland today and in Delaware
on November the 18th

COUNCIL DECIDES ON MORE
PERMANENT STREET WORK
STREET COMMITTEE AUTHOR
IZED TO EXTEND STONE ROADS
Macadam Road From GIenwood Ave-
nue. 10 Duck Greek and Macadam
Road to Smyrna Landing

At meeting of Smryna Town
Council Friday evening, it was
decided to build and extend more
macadam streets, notably Main
street from Glenwood avenue to
town limits and Commerce street to
the new Smyrna Landing stone road.
The matter was brought up at this
time and impressed with more
seriousness from the fact that the
Kent County Levy Court is already
through its .Overseer, Robert Den
ney, laying a macadam roadbed
from town limits on North Main
street to Duck Creek. Members
of Council were of the opinion, and
very strongly too, that the town
should meet and encourage this i'm.
provement by extending the good
work of Main street to town limits
where it will join up with the new
stone road. By doing this, there
will be fOur-mile stretch of good
road bed within and without Smyrna.
The matter was left with the Street
Committee, John p. Hudson, chair
man, with authority to order ten to
twelve carloads of stone or whatever
was needed. The street work on
the eastern end of Commerce street
will join up with the stone road
leading to Smyrna Landing, recent
ly built by the Kent County Levy
Court at the direction of L. M.
Price. Work will start first on the
Commerce street end and by the
time this is done, the road on north
Main street will be graded and ready
to stone. 1t is the intention to
complete both stretches of road this
Fall. The Street Committee report
ed progress in the matter of build
ing house for the street sprinkler
and street sweeper in the lot aaioin-
ing the Town Hall Council held a
short session and adjourned to give
members a CHARGE to attend the
Husking Bee at the Century

Halloween was celebrated in
Smyrna last evening with all the
enthusiasm befitting the occasion.
From early in the evening until
midnight, the streets were alive

parties were galore. Union Castle

tunes and red torch lights made a
most effective showing. At the
" Four Corners" they went through
several manoeuvres and stunts. Later
in the evening, Johnson's, Cornet
Band, colored, gave aIserenade ON the
Four Corners. +" All during the
evening, the streets were crowded.
To the credit of those who indulged
in Halloween sports, there was
less vandalism this year than ever.
The sport was wholesome throughout.

An alarm of fire called the Hose
Company out Monday afternoon to
the residence of Mrs. John H.
Hoffcker, corner of Delaware and
Mt. Vernon streets, but fortunately
the fire was extinguished before
their services were needed. The

domestic had opened the house and
built the fires in anticipation of her
coming. In the afternoon, the

been. Mrs. Hoffecker. knew moth
