ship our goods direct, packing up in the
afternoon and have our products in your
markets before breakfast the next morn
ing, at less expense than can be done
now, by great deal. That would benefit
both OF us. There is no limit TO what
could be done with adequate road facili-
ties. If you want TO know some OF the
uses of good roads to farming COM
munity, 90 somewhere where they have
them and see TO what uses they are put
by the farmer that knows his business.
And those thnt don't pretty soon learn it..
No telling what good roads will do for a
country, let alone trolley lines The
two together mean wealth TO all and /
know that from long observation and cx.
pericnce"
CAN'T REALIZE THE VALUE.
john Prcttymau, a merchant Of Ellen
dale. said: II ann in favor OF the road
being built. because ! believe that it win
be OF vast benefit to business and the in
tercsts OF the farmer and the fruit grow
er in this end OF the State and OF every
body in the state in general. II is a
great public improvement, the full value
OF which may not be realized by this
generation. II will improve real estate
and be of benefit 10 the community from
every viewpoint. There is some specu-
lation regarding the rest Of the right oi
way, but guess we can rest assured that
no one will be harmed by whatever use
is made of IL"
WOULD OPEN COUNTRY.
s. ~. Small, merchant. of Lincoln
City, who is known over the county as
a clear-headed business man who knows
subject before he discusses il, said;
AS a general proposition this road
would be a great advantage and great
benefit TO the state, especially in the
matter OF it's effect upon property values
We are in the center ofl4incoln City, with
The line OF the railroad and the county
road TO Georgetown both here, and there
is very little chance of much development
right ia the center of this town But the
boulevard goes along some little distance
from here and that win surely mean that
the town will extend there to meet it
and that business and property viii both
extend in the same ratio. Tho railroad
cannot do any harm, because it has all
il can get here, but that road and the
trolley lines that may be laid along il
cannot be so classcd II the boulevard
goes through. | believe all property will
be greatly enhanced in value, especially
those lands which are located near to the
line
THE dupont road will also be OF great
value to Sussex county in opening up the
country and in its future development.
il is always valuable to any state to de-
velop new section. It will be of the
greatest possible benefit to Georgetown
and Glendale especially, and to that en-
tire district between those points, which
IL will open up and develop
MERCHANT FOR 1T, TOO.
Frank Richards, of the Draper Davis
Company, probably the largest dealers in
phosphates ON the peninsula, made the
following statement:
81 am in favor cf the completion of the
dupont road, because / believe that Il
would be OF great benefit TO the people
and the State, and the source of genera
Improvement in the value of real estate
as well. With the understanding tha
there would be an electric or trolley lin
constructed down the right OF wa,
through the state, believe it would b
very advantageous TO any man ownin
real estate in Delaware"
