Editor Argus:
First we want TO thank you for the
space YOU gave US last veek-more
than we really asked for. and for the
many nice things you said OF us. But
in justice to not only ourself but our
creditors. we want TO state that we
are not a large land owner. the house
We live I'm was painted several years
ago, but unlike wine. paint is not i'm
proved by age. Also that some brush
still remains in our fence corners.
Now for the subject:
Many will vote against the good
road proposition for various reasons.
Some who think our taxes are already
too high with nothing TO show for the
money expended. others who feel that
II is unnecessary to place a bond up
on the taxpayers OF Kingwood district
TO hand as an inheritance to the next
generation. Who knows what such
roads as are now contemplated may
be when handed TO the next genera
ton. But one thing is sure. the pay
ment OF the bonds issued when ma
tured, will have TO be met.
No one, we believe. would object. n
need be, TO granting our county court
for term OF years power to lay a
levy of S15 mills or more upon every
dollar OF taxable property within
kingwood district for good road pur-
poses in addition to what has already
been levied. How long would IL be un-
I'll we would be second TO no county
In the state upon the good road cues
ton and instead OF inheriting delapi-
dated roads, perhaps. and bonded in
debtedness. future generations would
inherit good roads free from all en-
cumbrances. Would not this be much
better? Ii looks so to us No one
objects to good roads. It's foolish to
entertain such an idea. But many
will differ with us as to how good
roads should be constructed or as TO
how they shall be paid for. We as
taxpayers do not object to an increase
in our tax bills when we see we are
getting something (other than the
same old faces) for the money so ex-
pended. But we hesitate when Il
comes TO expanding a large sum of
money and placing a debt upon the
shoulders of the next generation for
something. perhaps, they may never
enjoy. II seems to us there is a better
way OF securing the same results up
on the good road question than by
bonding the district for $164 900, there
by being in debt for "a long years.
We are opposed to any such a propo-
sition, not from any spirit OF revenge.
not because we are opposed 10 good
roads, or any public improvements.
whatsoever God knows we need
many, but because we believe a better
way can be found and the same result
accomplished by giving our county
court power to make any reasonable
levy for term Of years for good road
purposes We don't believe we would
enjoy travelling over a road the major
ity of us will never see paid for as one
that is paid for each year as far as IL
goes. And the same result accom-
plished in much less time.
We hope to hear from others upon
this question as it should be one OF
much interest to all.
Very truly.
..... JOS. G. BROWN.

80 STEAM Filters
Want WAGE BOOST
Wilmington Steel Company
Workers Want 40 and
80 Cent Scale
NO OBJECTION
TO 10 HOUR DAY

Fifty employees OF the Wilmington
Steel Company went on strike yester-
day because of a refusal on the part
of the company to grant them an in
crease in wages. The men affected
are steam filters and helpers.
The steam filters have been receiv-
ing 80 cents an hour and the helpers
25 cents, and the request was for an
increase of five cents an hour for
both classes of workers The men
have been working 10 hours a day
and have no complaint TO make on
that score. The request for the in
crease in wages was put up to the
company yesterday afternoon and re
fused. Thereupon the men declared
strike.
Dissatisfaction with their scale OF
wages on the part of the men grew
out OF the presence in the shop, in
stalling certain machinery, of mer
from the Pittbsurgh Valve Company
These men we're working side by side
with the Wilmington men and doing
the identical work, but receiving fC
and 80 cents an hour for it.

VISITORS AND AUTOS IN
PROCESSION TO BIC FAIR

Wilmington is filled with visitors
and automobiles today. The hotels
are thronged with persons from rural
Delaware and from nearby States
who came to attend the State Fair
Some observers did not think the in
fux Of visitors was so great today as
it was last year on Big Thursday. the
unsettled weather conditions during
the early morning being given as a
reason.
There was a steady procession of
automobiles into the city all morning.
AT noon there was a rush on hotel
diningrooms and on restaurants and
lunch rooms that nearly swamped
them.
Politicians were much in evidence
on the streets and at the Fair. Among
some of the visitors were: Colonel
Lewis w. Mustard. of Lewes; Senator
Oliver w. Newton. of Bridgeville; Sen
ator Zachary Harris, of Glasgow; Sen
ator Charles NJ. Wharton, of Dover I;
Representative George Hill. of Bridge
Vile; Representative John H. Ham
