- ONE of the stone roads In New Castle county that
- have been improved great expense to the public
deerioratng because Of lack Of proper mainte
nance. That lack of proper maintenance is due large
lv to the lack % maintenance funds rather
than to lack of desire the part of the Levy Court
Commissioners and their engineer and subord atca
maintain them properly Those facts which should
be recognized by the public
New Castle county good roads advocates and tax
PAYERS should recognize the fact that matter how
good road may be made nitIay, It will deterorate
with use and that If II is to be kept good maintenance
money must be spent Tha, money must come i'm
medatey or ultimately from the pockets Of the tax
payers In other words, ii they want good roads they
must pay not only for their construction but also
for their maintenance.
Those things being true. it is interesting to know
what the Old World countries, which build and main
tain truly good roads, do in the matter Of maintenance
Investigation dscloses that those countries the peo
pie look upon road upkeep being as important as
original construction
England expends as much as $3.50 per mile per an
for her main roads and 81 for other than these
principal highways France sS46 for her national roads
and low as sos for her country roads; Germany's
roadways under the care OF the several states OF
the empire Taking wIrtsmoorg as an a gc. the
cost of maintenance is about $4O0 per mile Itay's
cost from S274 the national roads to S1s3
the provincial roads while Russia's cost is from $40
to s2lO per mile Spain expends s24O per mile
each year in maintenance
II to that the figures cited above should
contain lesson for New Castle countians many
of whom clamor for and pay for good roads and
protest against and grudgngly pay for their
proper maintenance It should teach them to support
the Levy Court Commissioners and their engineer in
any wise and honest policy of road maintenance
they may inaugurate It is only by such public sup
port that the good roads in our county can
be attended by adequate and satisfactory measure
OF success.

nrR rAIR AND ms snCcEss.

THE Delaware state Fair closed yesterday In point
Of magnitude Of display. public interest and at
tendance. surpassed anything in the history of the
institution. We congratulate the management upon
its good fortune
Several things contributed to the unqualified sue
OF the fair One that those in charge OF it
spared reasonable effort provide attractive fea-
lures. Another the adoption of a policy of wide
spread aud intelligenty directed advertising. We
think however that underlying all those fayorng fac
the Of having public interest excited by
the far-reachng campaign boost Wilmington and to
bring about better feeling between city and the
rural districts in the Delmarva Peninsula and the
neghboring counties in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
In that good work the newspapers throughout the
territory and the Wilmington Chamber Of Commerce
and other civic bodies played important part
We take il that will deny that there exists
today better feeling between Wilmington and the rural
districts tributary to 1t that has existed for years.
Nor do we think anyone will dispute that the
substitution of tho policy Of boosting Wilmington
for the old policy Of knocking It has played i'm
portant part in establishing, stimulating and main
tanning that friendly feeling
We do not know how much the managers Of the
fair have made from the exhibition. We hope they
have made enough to reimburse them for all losses
suffered In former years. pay the expenses of the
Fair this year aud to leave for them substantial
margin of profit They have invested their money in
the enterprise they have given to IT'S promotion the
best that is in them mentally and physically and they
entitled TO suitable reward.

hauls daily away from Sussex county.

its income from freight and YOU have a

ing for the passage Of the royal
train.
Traffic is completely paralyzed by
the bolting and padlocking of the
switches over which the pilot engine and
royal train pass. and the gates of grade
crossings where there are no gatekeep.
ers are locked one hour before the royal
train is due.
There is a story of woman gate.
keeper on one of the Scottish lines who
displayed remarkable devotion to duty.
a nobleman drove UP TO the crossing
some minutes before the roval train
was due and demanded that he be al
lowed to pass. The gatekeeper declined
to open the gates whereupon the noble
lord waxed hot and asked the woman
whether she was aware of his identity
She confessed that she knew that he
was Lord So-and-o." but added that
she cared not near as much for his no.
bility as for the safety of the royal
train. In few minutes Queen Vic
toria's train flashed past and the gates
were thrown open The incident came
TO the notice of the railway directors
and the woman was rewarded for her
attention TO duty.

BE PATIENT.


From the Dover Index.
Those who are tempted to criticise the
Kent County Levy Court and county en-
gineer because Of the delay in road work.
should suspend Judgment and exercise
patience. OF course, there is criticism
because there is not the usual amount
OF road patching by lot of overseers.
This is rather the result of the new law
and in the long run viii be commended.
1t should not. however. be forgotten that
each district has a supervisor, who is
allowed to spend on road mending $1,000
and quite a coed lot of real mending can
be done, but the sort of plowing that has
usually been done at the wrong time and
in the wrong way, did not improve the
roads. Nor has there been much hauling
of dirt and filling up Of holes nor scrap
ing of grass and sand from the sides to
the middle and a lot of other wasteful
work Whether the supervisors have
been more careful sensible and honest in
spending the money we do not know,
hut certainly they have had less waste
and tine responsibility has been centered
in one man, rather than in twenty. As
to the permanent work, OF course but
little could be expected this year. II
was late when the law was passed and
it took time to find an engineer and
have petitions filed and the roads petit
TONED for surveying. Then il was found
that the small amount of roads TO be
built this year did not attract bidders,
and if anything was TO be done the
county would have to do il itself. This
led the Levy Court 10 buy steam rollers,
wagons and other equipment and under
take the work under its engineer. This
took time and il will take time TO get
the work going and it cannot be ex-
pected that many miles of road will be
built this year. but good start has
been made and much experience has
been gained and the county money IS
not being wasted. With an early start
next year Kent county will get many
of its roads improved. 4 new law ere
ates new conditions and the Levy Court
and its engineer must be given time TO
adjust themselves TO the new conditions.

JUST STAY AT HOME.

From the Dover Republican.
Westward ho," has been for years
the slogan which has attracted young
men of the East. The glowing stories
that have been published ad libitum
on the lines of circus posters did
their work effectively. and hundreds
have been seduced from their eastern
homes TO tempt quick fortune. Nine
ty-nnc per cent have failed. OF
course, and have driftcd back TO their
old moorings.
Evan G. Boyd. former mayor Of
New Castle. who is on visit 10 his
old home. is convinced that in many
respects the West is overestimatej
and greatly misunderstood. He was
in many places. and in each long
enough TO study conditions. His ad-
vice TO young men without money is
not TO go West with the expectation
Of doing big things" He says they
will be fortunate II they secure en-
ployment. He also advises against
