Want the dupont Road

sALIsBURY, Nd, October 2.-The peo-
pie Of SslisbuEg and the lower part Of
Wiscomico County are very much enthus-
ed over Colonel duPont's threat to build
boulevard in Maryland if the people Of
Delaware did not cooperate with him
more heartily. Many specuIations are
adrift as to where the boulevard will be
built in case Colonel dupont does decide
to build in this State. It is thought it will
probably run from the Delaware line
through Salisbury and east toward Ocean
City via PoweIlsville and Berlin. All the
people along this route are promising to
cooperate in every way possible with
Colonel dupont, if he will run the road
through this section of Wiscomlco
County.
