OPPOSITION TO
ROAD WORK

There was a friendly tilt between
the members Of the Levy Court yes
terdsy afternoon over the purchase Of
the Philadelphia turnpike The mat
ter was brought up by Mr. Dennison
who said he understood notices Of
condemnation proceedings were being
served on tho tenants and property
owners along the Philadelphia Pike.
He wished to know n the Levy Court
desired TO purchase the road at tho
present time.
Mr.. Elliott said the Levy Court had
purchased the Concord turnpike for
$4,000 and had an understanding that
the Philadelphia turnpike for more
than five miles can Doe bought for S.
600 He added that the property own
ers OF Brandywine hundred are sat-
isiied to stand "A higher assessment.
provided the toll pike becomes a free
road.
Mr.. Dayott said he favored free
roads but In this instance he could
not see how tho present L0vy Court
could take $4,000 at this time from
the finances OF the county TO purchase
the road
Mr. Elliott i'm reply said he believed
il better business proposition TO buy
five and a-half miles Of good roads
for $4,000 than to build little links OF
roads at great expense
II was finally agreed 10 appoint q
committee TO wait on the owners ol
the Philadelphia turnpike and see il
they are willing at present to sell thl
road for $4,000 Messrs. Elliott. Day
