Maryland Road Expert Wants
the DUPONT Boulevard Builf

II wish, and the people Of Mary
land wish that General r Coleman
DUPONT would make the same offer to
the State OF Maryland. that he has
made to the State of Delaware. We
would accept it, and accept it quick"
These were the words Of William
=. Miller State Highway Commits
sioner of Maryland, in discussing the
DUPONT Boulevard subject this morn
ing. Mr.. Miller, who is one of the
authorities of the country on good
roads, stopped in this city this morn
ing for a few minutes to learn the
reason why the people of Delaware
had not taken the chance to accept
the great road which has been offer
ed TO them by General T. Coleman
DUPONT. Mr.. Miller will address the
Legislature this afternoon on good
roads and plead that the Boulevard
act not be repealed.
"The State of Maryland hopes that
the Legislature will not repeal the
Boulevard Act" said Mr.. Miller. 1T
will mean a serious blow TO good
roads in this section of the country
and the failure of the plan proposed
at the last session Of the Maryland
Legilature TO build a connecting road
from the end of the dupont road at
the State line 10 Berlin, Md, dis
tance Of about u miles.
Mr.. Miller said the proposed DUPONT
road would connect with the splendid
system of Maryland roads and would

two hundred miles long and connect

GREAT TOMATO CENTER
AFTER WORK IS DONE

Within the next month the United
States Government. through the local
United States engineers Office, will
begin improvements to the Leipsir
river in Kent county which. when fin
ished, will mean much TO the farmers
OF that section of the State
Bids were opened today by Major
r. r. Raymond for dredging in that
stream. about $4,000 being available
for the work. There were three bid
ders as follows: The Richards
Dredging Company, S.S cents cubic
yard; the Atlantic Dredging Com
pany, 9.72 cents. and the River aud
Harbor Dredging Company 1t.3
cents.
The dredging will extend TO above
the town OF Leipsic An interesting
coincidence is attached to the project
About one mile above Leipsic was
Martins Bridge. and this was re-
moved, but the abuttments were al
lowed to remain. Under The present
appropriation. it was provided that no
work was to be done in the stream
until tho local authorities had removed
all distinctions, which meant these
abuttments. In order not TO lose the
appropriation the Levy Court OF Kent
county arranged with the Richards
Dredging Company TO remove the oh
strucuon, and 1t now happens that
this firm is the lowest bidder for the
dredging work. Thus the two jobs
can be done by the same company.
Major Raymond hopes to have the
greater part OF the channel finished
by fall, so that the farmers ~ that
section OF the state can ship their to-
mato aud other crops by water.
II was learned today that one OF
the biggest canning houses in New
Jersey sent a representative to Ches'
void Leipsic and vicinity last fall to
procure tomatoes and he purchased
81 600 baskets He informed the far
mers there that the capacity Of the
plants owned by his company was
81 600 baskets a day and he promised
them that should they get the Leipsic
river dredged by next fall his firm
would send lighters up the streams
for their tomato crops and take 400,-
000 baskets.
With the Improvement TO the Leip-
sic river completed there are big pos
sbilitios and profits ahead for the
farmers in that section of the coun-

WILSON is FORMALLY
DECLARED NATIONS LEADER

George Washington is the only
President who has had the unanimous
vote of the electOyal college. James
Monroe received all but one vote in
1920, when former Governor and for
mer Senator Plummer of New Hamp-
shire cast the sole dissenting vote.
The vote officially given Wilson to-
day, however. is the largest plurality
any President has received in years.
President Taft got only 32l votes,
Roosevelt 1856, and Mckinley. 292.
The votes canvassed today were
only those actually cast for the Presi-
dental and Vice-presidential candi-
dates. Although thousands of voters
believed they were voting for the
candidates last November. they we're
merely voting for the electors.
On January 10, the electors met at
the capitals Of the respective states
and cast the vote polled today Copies
were sent to the Secretary of State,
and also by mail and messenger to the
president of the Senate. The votes
now become part of the archives OF
Congress, and will be carefully
guarded in fire-proof vaults of the
capitol.
Today's proceedings we're those
which we're generally predicted last
fall as possibly provocative of a dead
lock. 1t was feared that none of the
candidates for president would have a
plurality of the electoral votes, be-
cause Of the bitter, triangular cam
paign. The law provides that if none
of the candidates had had a plurality
at today's joint session, the three
highest candidates should be voted
upon-each state casting one vote.
