SEAFORD.

+ With the exception of less than half
0 dozen hold-outs, Col. T. C. du Pont has
right of way to build a new road from
FDelmar to the main State Boulevard,
I connecting south of Dover. With the
completion of this road Sussex County
as we'll as Kent and New Castle coun-
ties will have public boulevards which
+ will be an honor to the State. A few
days ago Mr.. du Pont offered to build a
new highway from Deimar to Rehoboth.
That right way was looked after and
possession soon secured Cor the required
amount of land wanted. At once a move
was on foot for a highway from Delmar
to the main road or boulevard running
through Laurel, Seaford. Bridgeyille,
connecting at Dover, and with the eX-
ceptiOn few will probably kill the mo-
tion, which Mr.. du POnt agreed to build
if right titles were secured. There is. a
move on foot with several of the reality
men to purchase the lands of the hold |
outs if possible and same will be readily |
given to prevent such a good worthy |
cause. With the completion of the main |
and branch roads connecting with the /
public highway, Sussex County would |
hold a winning hand as to rOadWays
with any section of the country. At
present they can do likewise but on the
opposite side are having some of the
most dreadful roads in the State, some
places being almost impossible. Mr..
du Pont, with several of his road en-
( gineers, passed through Seaford last
! Sunday enrOute to the new road being
built by him. Mr.. du Pont will be asked
to build a road from the Maryland line
across the county connecting at George
town, being that this stretch of roads
are used more than other roads in the
State, especially during the county court
sessions, and if proper titles are given
it is assured this road will also be built
and given to the State.
