From the Seaford Tribune
Users Of the roads hereabouts are
loud in their demands that there oe
some improvement.
Those who have driven to Laurel
during the last few weeks condemn
that section of road as dangerous and
actually state that they are afraid
when they drive their automobiles
over it. They appreciate the fact that

lack OF rainfall account for it, pres

they feel that the county can we'll
spend some money on the road to the
end that it may be properly graded
and packed.
Motorists have been pleased with
the she'll road which reaches towards
Bridgeville, but at this time they are
beginning to complain OF its condi-
ton. They state that dangerous holes
are being cut in It. u is true that
the shells are being worn through and
that u something is not placed in
them before long the road win have
to be repaired at greater cost than II
can be done a. this time
The taxpayers OF the county are
willing to bear the expense Of prop
erly keeping the roads In shape All
they wish TO know is that the moneys
are being properly expended.
Nevertheless they have a prefer
ence about roads. They would pre-
fer to haul their produce to town on
Stone roads. And nowadays when
Mr. Ford has built an automobile so
cheaply that nearly everybody can
afford to buy one. our farmer friends
would prefer to drive their machine
on a stone road-it costs less TO run
