SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
FOR STATE ROAD WORK.

IUh nIAIE IlVAU nVhhs
From the Snow Hill Messenger
We understand that a movement is
on foot, and is shown by bill just
introduced, which has the approval
Of the Governor and Chairman OF the
State Roads Commission, to build
State roads through towns up to
which such roads now run.
The proper plan is for the towns
TO turn over to the State the street
connecting with the State road. If
the street has already been improved,
the State should pay for such i'm
provement. II the street has not been
improved the State should build it,
In either case the street connecting
the State road should be taken over
by the State and maintained as a part
of the Road system.
Snow Hill has already spent consid-
cradle money to connect Market street
with the State road at the north end
OF that street and the south end is
now badly in need Of repair, there be-
ing nothing but a dirt road connecting
with the State road.
We are sure that similar conditions
prevail in Pocomoke City and Berlin.
If such a law as we suggest is
passed. we feel that it should also
provide that the money paid over to a
town for improvements already made
shall be expended under the supervi-
sion of the State for the Improvement
Of other streets Of that town.

COMMERCE CHAMBER AND SEAMEN'S LAW.
VXTILMINGToN's Chamber Of Commerce owes it to
w the people Of our city, State and nation to array
lisef irrevocably in opposition TO those features of
the La Toilette Seamen's law which bear so heavily

chant marine.
The Chamber Of Commerce Of the United States has
asked the local Chamber put on record ON this
important matter. Action of some sort will be taken
at the weekly luncheon in the Hotel dupont tomorrow
We hope that action will be in the nature Of a rebuke

man FEpERAL BUILDING sITE.

From the Newark Ledger.
At present there is some doubt
about the location of the new post
Office building. A bill has passed the
House of Representatives at Wash
ington giving the College the privi-
lege OF buying the plot Of ground now
owned by the government.
To our thinking the present site for
the Federal building is as good as
can be secured. There are other
places. it is true. but none can be
bought at such a price. Then again,
We do not intend to oppose in any
way the College in trying TO secure
this plot II a Federal building in
terriers with the architectural design
Of the proposed buildings to be
erected. then the College should have
this plot: If on the other hand, the
proposed new Federal building would
enhance the beauty of the other
buildings, the College don't want it.
Il strikes us at present that the Col
lege has as much ground as it needs
for the present However. the whole
matter is in the hands of the Advance
ment and Improvement Committee
and the designs of the buildings
should be carried out as they desire.
