EDITORIAL OPINION

present system of rounding up and
graveling dirt roads. which have to
be done over in less than three years
after the so called good road is built
New Castle County is clearly entitled
TO this money, as in that county they
are building good roads, and roads
which are as near permanent as 1t is
possible for this day. We want it
clearly understood, that it is not with
the men who are doing the work, or
who are expending the money, but
with the system, and the men who
compose the Levy Courts, who are
deliberately disregarding the laws
providing for this appropriation. and
making oath to the statement to the
State Treasurer, that the county has
raised and expended a similar amount
of money for the building of good
permanent roads. Il is time for the
abolishment of the present road sys-
tenn, and the creation of another and
modern plan for keeping the roads
out Of politics. They certainly are
Of as much Importance to the general
condition of the people, as the
churches and the schools, and both Of
those are measurably clear of politics.
Lets have the good roads question
made political issue in the right
sense, and make It one Of the necessi-
ties for any man to be elected to the
legislature. that he shall publicly an
nounce that he will support any pro-
gressive road laws, and the abolish
ment of the present system. Della
ware must have good roads, we want
them, we need them.

SMYRNA AND THE BOULEVARD.

From the Smyrna Times
The decision of the Supreme Court
of Delaware as to the constitutional
ity of the T. Coleman DUPONT Boule-
ward act was contrary to the wishes
of a number in this vicinity, espec-
tally those who all along have favor
ed the use of one road-the State
road--as the Boulevard highway.
The Court, however, has made il
plain that the 200 feet wide strip shall
be used for public utilities and that
these said utilities shall be construct
ed within a reasonable length of time.
this Interpretation makes it incum-
bent upon Mr.. DUPONT to do some
thing or give up the project. The
Boulevard act as passed by our Leg
islature has its good and bad sides. Ga
matter of too hasty conclusion) but
when the $2,O00.0O0 road is finally
completed, If it is ever built, the
people no doubt will forget their
differences, and enjoy the fruits
made possible Mr. dupont. In the
meantime let us hope he will change
his survey and still decide to use the
State road as near as practicable.
