all over Delaware, would be blessing tc
Sussex county. With full power 10 build
and keep in repair after approved plans,
the department would require of each
county that the standard Of roads within
that county, should be maintained. and
that all money expended for the high
ways would be done on plans originated
by men experienced in road building.
The very fact Of the State control of high
ways, would insure a system for each
county, and that is more than the two
lower counties have now. Lack Of in
telligent plans is the root of all the road
trouble, and the cause for the lack Of
plans IS the system under which we are
smothered. The present effort to grade |
and improve the roads is better than no
effort at all, but we are not getting anv
further advanced under this plan; we want
permanent as well as practi-
'al, so as to get good roads. When the
people see and enjoy good road. then
hey soon grow to realize its Importance
