MORE SUSSEX RESIDENTS UNITE
IN VOICING OPINION THAT DUPONT
BOULEVARD BE BUILT AT ONCE

benefit to every business man within
miles OF the line Of the road. In tins
town we have already felt the effect OF
the road upon business, even in The short
time the men were az work here. Now,
when the road is in course of construe-
ton, that will mean the employment Of
large numbers of men, and that, in turn,
will mean increases la every line OF busl.
ness. The completion OF the read will
furnish the farmer with Increased iaclli-
ties for the rapid transportation ol his
products and supplies to the various
markets and railroads. and that will
mean the saving of much time and
money to him, because over good roads
he can haul twice as heavy loads in halt
the time he could make the trips now,
because of the sbominablc condition of
roads in this part of The county.
1t Is my opinion that there Will he
such an Increase Ia property values all
along the line as will more than douby
compensate for al of the land required
to construct the road. This has already
been demonstrated by properly valua-
tions an along the route in this section.
Isaac Mclsbc, who Is a large manufac.
turcr of concrete and cement blocks said
II think that the road proposition is
all riuht. I believe that is construction
would increase the value of all properties
along the route and that people are maxi
ing mistake in opposing the construc-
tion OF the road. Its effect upon busi.
ness in general would be of a value that
would be hard to estimate. I think II
would be of the greatest benefit TO the
farmer. inasmuch as through The IN.
crease in ease of transportation he could
transport twice the amount of fruits and
berries IN n given time that he can now
do, and with half the teams and expense
now necessary.
Opposition Going.
"lt is my opinion that those who hay,
been opposing the building OF the road
have now changed both their opinion.
and their tactics aud are now hoping iol
the work to be resumed. In my opin
ion, there are not enough words in The
I English language TO properly describe
the appreciation that should be felt to
ward General DUPONT for his public
spirited generosity. ! have heard of
