The Man Rehind tho Road


To get the proper "slant" on General
dupont and his offer it is necessary to
remember that he is not a millionaire
by inheritance. Altho a descendant OF
+. DUPONT de Nemours who came to
this country from France and establish
ed. during the Revolutionary War, a
gunpowder factory on the Brandywne,
the general is the son OF a dupont who
emigrated to Kentucky and married FL
len s. Coleman. This Bdcrman DUPONT
was not rich like those who had stayed
in Delaware manufacturing powder; but
he was able to send his son to Urbana
University and to the Massachusetts In
stitute OF Technology. T. Coleman du-
Points career began at coal mining, Then
he won success in street railway engi-
neerinC and construction. In 1889 he
married Alice DUPONT of the Wilmington
branch of the family, and entered the
ancestral firm, Of which he has been
president since 1902. His present inter
ests include, besides the powder business,
coal. iron, traction and one Alabama
light and power company

community along the way. Five per
cent. annually on the first cost of the
road ought to maintain it handsomely.
Then the length of such road that
canny Andy could build and endow in
such way as to yield five per cent OF
its cost annually for maintenance would
be over $50 miles.
Think what the example of such a
gift and such a road would be for other
men with money they do not need. Most
men could not build and endow ESQ
miles of good roads, but there would be
many who could build and if need be
endow 100 miles, fifty miles. twenty
miles, ten miles or even one mile. The
fear of being forgotten is one of the
hopes of immortality Who could ever
forget the man who built and endowed
but a single mile OF good roads Even

after its publication his offer to Della.
ware was announced he would give the
State l0l miles of modern roadway
stretching from northern to southern
border, to be known as Coleman DUPONT

GENERAL DUPONTS DOUBTED HIGHWAY is HELD UP
WHILE DELAWARE LOOKS GIFT IN THE MOUTH

Franklin Clarkin, in the Boston
Transcript, has the following exceed
ingly interesting story about General
T. Coleman duPonts proposed gift Of
a state long boulevard to the people Of
Delaware:
Having been granted the right, at his
own request, to build a broad highway
the length Of the State and present il
free of expense to the people, General
T. Coleman dupont has submitted to the
Delaware Legislature the draft of a bill
repeating his privilege to make this
S2,000,000 gift. This does not mean that
he is an '1ndan Giver." Il is just an
other instance--eonsider the SlOO,O00,0 900
Rockefeller enterprise that has been be-
fore three Congresses-of the rich man
finding it nowadays almost as much
work TO give away his riches as it was to
acquire them. Social and political jeal-
ouses had been active; st. Jeromes ad-
monition to look a gift horse in the
mouth had been obeyed to the letter;
and litigation resisting a right OF way
had stopped work. perhaps for three
years, after ten miles of road had been
graded and S300O00 expended. These
difficulties General DUPONT now puts up
to the representatives of the people, in
Legislature assembled.
1t is taking the bull Of opposition by
the horns.

General duPont's apalogia was;

take the same advanced step that had
been taken by larger and wealthicr
states. Only s per cent. of its roads
are improved. II is doubted whether
taxpayers far removed from such a high.
way as the proposed DUPONT Boulevard
would have been willing to submit to
their share of the cost The certain
contention over what towns it should
touch would in itself. also hold an elc.
ment Of defeat for the roads as a State
project. Anyway the State itself could
not have undertaken the expense with
out sacrificing things that are needed
and incurring a public debt to be- met
{ by future generations. General DUPONT
offered to give Delaware the road, out
