LEVY court TO
INSPECT Stone ROADS
Many of the Highways Are
Badly in Need of
Repairs
BODY UNITED
ON THE SUBJECT

The New Castle County Levy Court
at its meeting yesterday agreed TO in
spoct the good roads of New Castle
county. The inspection is TO be made
TO find out intelligently where the
roads must be improved Repair of
the 200 miles of stone roads will mean
an outlay of from 100000 to $4,000
during the coming year.
Mr. Fouracre brought up the sub
ject lie said that in coming "a VIII
mington in company with Mr.. Scott,
he found roads bad in places.
A general discussion followed re-
garding the roads and how to get the
money necessary to keep them in con-
dition. Mr.. Scott said there was no
use of quibbling over the subject as the
roads would have TO be repaired.
"The only thing to do is for us to
get together and see what Is the best
thing that can be done. The roads
are getting worse every day" Mr..
Scott said.
"lll have a little 10 say in this my
self remarked Mr. Burris at this
juncture. "I was down in Mr.. Four
acres district the other day. and |
can say that they have certainly got
things in hand in his and Mr.. SCOTS
districts. I realize that we ought to
have stone put on the roads. but we
should be careful and see that no
members fritters away any money on
any experiments. and We shouldn't
try any other methods except those
used in Mr.. Scott's and Mr.. Four
acres districts Let's be careful and
use the proper thing and get the most
good out of ii"
Mr.. Fouracre asked County Engi-
neer Wilson If the treatment used on

Delaware SRAD NOW

LOOKED FOR BY MEN

With rush on Monday. the tooth
some Delaware river shad appeared
in the local market in large numbers
and this morning the fishermen were
out bright and early in hopes that the
catch will be even larger than that
OF Monday. Everybody is happy
over the early appearance of the fish,
which has made the Delaware river
famous. Yesterday, however. there
were few shad captured. compared
with the big hauls of Monday.
= For several days there has been
some few of the fish brought in, but
il was only ON a bare chance that
any of the fishermen of Wilmington
and New Castle have been going out,
as IL was not expected that "the big
run" would be started for several
days yet.
1t is a Well known fact in this
neighborhood, that the fish will not
commence 10 run well until after the
water has started TO warm up and
snow water has pretty will gone from
the stream, and it was this latter fact
which led the fishermen TO believe
il would be several days before there
would be any heavy catch.
All were mistaken. Despite the fact
that ten days ago there was a mini
ature blizzard and twelve inches of
snow feel. the heat of the sun during
the next couple of days carried away
all the snow and it drained of into
the river The recent heavy downpour
of Sunday afternoon completed the
good work. Farseeing fishermen had
watched the Sunday storm with in
terest and elation and lost no time
in getting their nets in readiness, and
when daylight broke they were out
on the river and had the nets spread
in readiness for the turn of the tide
and the incoming of the toothsome
and bony shad.
All of the fish brought in yesterday

grove and Woodland Beach and judg-
