State Road Project.

At last the people of Delaware have
awakened to the need of an upto-date,
and modern road running through the
center of the State from the northern to
the southern extremity; and bill is
being drawn for presentation to the pres
ent Legislature with that view in sight.
1t is believed that the road, which,
when Strengthened will cover less than
100 miles, can be built for 5000, 600, and
the State will probably issue bonds pledg-
ing the payment of that amount through
the operations of it's sinking funds The
taxes from automobiles alone which now
reach about $4,000 annually, will, the
Legislators are confident, soon reach twice
that amount il permanent smooth high
ways equivalent to Jerseys best are
given owners or prospective owners OF
these motor vehicles.
Former Secretary James II. Hughes,
counsel for the Dover Board of Trade, is
associated with other counsel for enter
pTises and associations in drawing mp this
bill, and Mr.. Hughes, it was stated, has
almost completed the proposed law, in
which he is having the active assistance
