COUNTY WILL Save
MONEY ON BRIDGE
Approaches TO New Struc-
ture Will Not Cost the
Amount Contemplated

County Engineer James Wilson at
the meeting Of the Levy Court yes
terday afternoon said that ,he county
would save money by buying the dirt
for the approaches to the new Third
street bridge. In the past much Of the
dirt has been obtained free of charge
and the balance for Ave or ten cents
a load. # will require less tE-n $500
to pay for the labor and buy the dirt
he said and by following this course
the county would get as much done
for 800 as contractor would do
for $400 Mr.. Burris, chairman Of
the committee on bridges, wanted TO
be sure the cost would be less than
$500 before he would go ahead with
the work. The court adopted a reso-
luton authorizing the bridge commit
tee TO do the work without advertis'
ing for bids.
Upon motion Of Mr.. Burris the Del
marvia telephone for the coroner's Of
fee Is to be discontinued after this
quarter.
On motion OF Mr. Groves the court
awarded the contract for the road
covering from Marshallton to st.
/ James Church TO Walter S. French,
to be done with urgite or tarvia.
Mr.. Scott suggested that the court
as committee of the whole take
trip over the roads that have been
resurfaced in order to see the effect
OF the tar. In his opinion another
coating Of tar would be a great bene-
nc in places. Mr.. Smith also was OF
the same opinion.
Mr.. Purks asked when S707.5O was
to be transferred from unappropriated
funds. Mr.. Groves informed Mr..
Purks that lie was in a conference
when Il was decided to repair the
Philadelphia pike. Each hundred is
TO bear its share OF the cost Of doing
the work with money transferred
from other funds. This arrangement
was reached three weeks ago. he said.
Mr.. Fouracre advocated an addi-
tional patrol for the resurfaced roads.
Mr.. Groves also expressed approval OF
the suggestion to go over the roads
and inspect them. He said he had been
informed that New Castle county had
more good roads for its resources than
any other part OF the country. Ho
said that no matter II they did not
get the credit they deserved. the com
missioners had the satisfaction OF
knowing that they had done we'll by
the roads.
Il was announced that S3711. a note
due the Farmers Bank, was paid and
II was the last note owed by the
county An order was drawn for
SO 600 in favor of the Fidelity Deposit
Company of Maryland on account OF

NEW CONSTITUTION
llr nm Iniled press.

BY The United ifess-
NEW YORK. Nov. 3.--New York re-
jected the new State constitution
which The convention presided over
and dominated by Elihu Root, spent
months in framing. by an overwhelm-
ing majority. estimated early today to
be az least 100000.
The former United States Senator
made no secret OF the fact that he
planned his work on the States new
charter as a climax TO his long public
career. He has repeatedly said he had
put his best efforts into the document
His speeches on the floor OF the con-
vention and in urging adoption Of the
constitution later have been generally
regarded as Roots bids for recogni-
tion as a candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination.
Friends of Root insisted today that
the defeat OF the constitution would in
no way affect his candidacy. There
was much speculation In political
circles. however, as to how the re-
pudiation by his own State OF Roots
ideas Of government would be received
by Republican leaders in other parts

Eyes replied the doctor
"The German trenches are there
remarked the officer quietly.
Trenches used by both sides are a
wonderful example OF military and en-
gineering science. All of the trenches
are built In a winding shape. Those
who have seen the pictures wonder
why they were not built in n straight
line. AS a matter OF fact they are
built in a winding style for the pro-
lection of the men. If the trenches
were straight a shell would sweep
them for yards and kill numerous
men. n the trench is full of bends
only the men in one section are in
iurod and the others escape because
the bomb can not go around corner
The modern battlefield looks vastly
different from the old idea, Dr. Speak
man said. You see nothing. The
men are all in trenches and IL Is only
when there is a charge on trench
that any one is seen. Back OF the line
OF trenches for some distance will be
found the artillery and the men who
are not in the trenches, but the DASH
ing men are missing when a picture IS
taken because OF the lighting being
carried on according to the rules OF
modern warfare which makes use OF
the trenches.
DR.. Speakman brought back with
him a number OF trophies direct from
the battlohelds. He speaks in the
highest terms iof the men who
are engaged in fighting, and
declares that he has seen nothing
which equals the spirit and the gen
eral manliness OF the French soldiers
with whom he came most in contact.
Despite the length Of time that the
war has continued, there is no de-
spair, only determination to win no
matter what may be the cost. OF the
hospital work Dr. Speakman speaks
with authority for the reason that he
studied IL carefully and is perfectly
familiar with Il. Wonderful results
have been accomplished.
The doctor is in excellent health.
He spent most of today in receiving
friends who called TO welcome him
home, and was kept busy telling of
his experiences. He said France has
thousands OF aeroplanes in war SER
vice, confirming a story printed in
these columns some months ago.

This left the Serbs an outlet for Nish
