woodland BEACH ROAD.

With the improvement Of the public
highways in Kent County by the Kent
County Levy Court within the past two
years and the building of innumerable
bridges throughout the county. which
for years had been in dilapidated state
and in some places impossible. the court
with the assistance of the owner of
Woodland Beach. once the famous re-
sort for not only Delawareans. but the
mecca for eXcursiOnists from Philadel-
phia and Wilmington, are building a
road and bridge over the marsh leading
to Woodland Beach, that is destined to
reflect credit on all who have anything
to do with the project. Many thousands
of dollars were spent annually by the
Levy Court of Kent County on the
causeway to Woodland Beach, which is
now about completely covered whitewater
and cannot be used in any way. This
new bridge, which, when completed will
cost nearly ten thousand dollars, part
of the expense being borne by Mr. Mott,
the owner, will consist of a hard road
with bridge in the center, of wooden
and concrete foundations. The Kent
County Levy Court Wednesday inspect
ed the work so far done, and expressed
their approval of the condition of things.
They hope to present to the taxpayers
Of Kent County next year as good
beach road or causeway and bridge that
it is possible to make.

CLAYS OF DELAWARE.

Away back during Revolutionary War
days there was a considerable develop
ment of Delaware clays for commercial
use. a number of potteries being open
ed. Refractory clay for fire brick and
similar products was obtained near New
Castle in the early part of the nineteenth
century. and brick ciays were mined at
several places prior to 1850. The pro-
ductiOn Of refractory clays and clays
used for pottery has continued to the
present time, but the industry is of
moderate extent because the deposits
are small, and the competition with
kaolin from other States is keen. As
the State has developed, the increase in
population has naturally caused a greater
demand for ordinary brick, and the de-
mand for better brick for fronts of
buildings has led to the manufacture of
pressed brick. In recent years some
drain tile has been produced in the State
and as larger areas of marsh lands are
reclaimed it is believed that there will
be an increasing demand for tile. The
clays of the State of Delaware are dis
cussed by G. c. Matson, in Bulletin
530-I tan advance chapter from Con
tributiOns to Economic Geology. 1911,

HOLDS AUGUST Meeting

A the August session of the Kent
County Levy Court at Dover Tuesday
several delegations appeared asking for
improvements in roads and assistance
in the establishing of a water trough at
Wyoming.

them, ordered the bills paid.
Contracts for the two bridges in the

known as the Tappahma Marsh Bridge
were awarded to the Stetzer Engineer
ing and Construction Company, of
Philadelphia. their contract price for
both bridges being S4, 1856.
Residents from Milford Neck, asked
for an appropriation of $500 for the i'm
prOvement and making passible of the
Milford Neck Road to the South Bowers
Beach Road. The court after a dis
cussion appointed a committee headed
by Commissioner Carmean to visit the
road in question and report back to the
court.
An application for the improvement
of stretch of road leading from Dover,
westward over the railroad. with stone
and tarva, making a macadam road 81
miar to the two other approaches to
Dover now in use, was presented by the
owners along the routes, including the
farms of D. O. Hastings, Willard and
William Salisbury and T. Coleman du-
Pont, as well as others. The PROPOSE
ton made to the court was that the
owners would pay $1,000 The matter
has been left to Commissioner Donoho,

Last Sunday evening while 3. b.
Topping. our jeweler, was coming home
from trip to Rehoboth in his automo-
bile. accompanied by his wife and son
Walter. and Mrs. Bessie Gillispie and
Postmaster Frank w. Davis, they were
run into by team driven by the lS-year-
old son of Thomas Reed Draper, of near
Milton, completely wrecking the auto
mobile and throwing Mrs. Gillispie, Mrs.
Topping and Walter Topping out of the
machine a distance of several feet. Mr..
Topping, who was driving the autOmo-
bile, saw team coming in his direction
just as they approached Milton Lane,
and noticed that the driver of the team
had the left-hand road. but thought,
of course that he would pull over into
the right-hand road when they came
nearer. but when the team failed to do
that, it occurred to Mr. Topping that
the driver must be asleep. and just as
he attempted to pull his automobile out,
Mr.. Draper suddenly aroused himself,
and being frightend. pulled directly in
front of the automobile. tearing off the
top and back-seat of the machine and
throwing the women and child out into
the road. Mr. Topping and Mr.. Davis
secured a conveyance and brought the
party back to Milford, leaving their
machine a wreck along the roadside.
The machine was brought to Milford
Monday, where it will be repaired.
