ROADS IN BAD CONDITION.

Most of the roads in lower Kent and
Sussex counties are in very bad condi-
ton at the present time. In many
places the overseers have plowed the
roads and the rainy weather has COM
PEELED them to stop work on them. Those
roads are almost impossible. In Fred
erica the town authorities have rounded
up the main street, and at the southern
extremity, near the mill, have put clay
on the road. This place is a mess, and
it is with difficulty that any kind of a
veeicle can get through it. What the
town should dois to get good quantity
of cracked stone and place at that spot,
for as it is it will never be any better
during the wet season. Persons Using
automobiles will in all probability find
the road from Milford to Dover better
by way of Canterbury and Camden, than
up the State road, which has been worked
not only in the town of Frederick, but
further up State. Such roads as the
people of the two lower counties are en-
joying at the present time, brings to
their minds what they might enjoy
should the DUPONT road be built. Our
roads now speak for themselves the
need of a State long stone road.

SENIOR CLASS ACCEPTS RESOLUTION.

Some weeks ago the members of the
Milford Board of Education at their
regular meeting adopted a resolution
whereby that future Commemorate ex-
ercises would be held in the assembly
room of the High School Building, and
not at Armory Hall as in former years.
At first the members of the 1911 gradu-
ating class resented such a resolution,
and Thought that the matter was hard
ship upon them, being that the event is
one of the red letter days in their lives,
but after reconsidering the resolution
the students of the class have decided
to abide by the decision of the Board #
Education, and they will from now on
put forth every possible effort to make
this one of the most successful Com
mencements in the history of the Mil

MILFORD WATER PLANT
SCREENING ITS WELLS

G. Mcdaniel & Co., of Denton, Md,
have been here this week working to
perfect the water system at the Mil
ford Water and Light Plant Since the
installation of the new water system at
the plant, quite a quantity of sand had
been accumulating in the cistern, caused
by the wells not having points. The
men have pumped the sand from the
cistern and are now placing screens on
the two wells which were not properly
screened when installed, This will in
sure the patrons of the town water of
not being bothered with sand.
Since the installing of the new water
system, the supplying of the town with
water for domestic uses, has become
easy as they can pump sufficient water
from one of the wells in one hour and
half to run the town for Bt least half
a day.
1t is worth ones time to walk down
to the Water and Light Plant and note
the changes that have been made there
during the last two or three years, and
see how the plant has grown ir size and
efficiency. Public works of this kind
should be of interest to each citizen of
the town, and it is safe to say teat
should the individual citizens of the
town manifest sufficient interest, and
call at the plant as the opportunity af-
forded, that either the Superintendent,
w. T. Banning, or any of the employees
around the plant, would take pleasure
in explaining the new features that
have been installed and the system
upon which they work.

FAVOR DUPONT ROAD.

Most of the Boards of Trade and
Town Councils of the different towns in
Delaware have, during the past week.
gone on record as being heartily in
favor of the building of the DUPONT road.
While there is some little opposition to
the road being built, it is chiefly with
those whose land the road will cross.
These matters, in most cases, it will be
easy to adjust to the satisfaction of
both parties concerned. 1t is pointed
out by many persons that the opposi-
ton to the road, in many instances, is
the work of politicians who wish to fur
ther their own ends. The DUPONT bou-
levard is needed in Delaware, and the
sooner it is built the better the large
majority of people in this State will
like it,
