New Castle county. like other sec
lions. will have to spend more money
for building and resurfacing county
roads. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company after November /. will raise
the freight rates on stone to all
points.
State Highway Commissioner James
Wilson said today that under the
new schedule of railroad rates IL viii
cost from $500 TO S1lO0 mile more
TO build a new road and the resur-
facing where thirty pounds Of stone
will be used will cost from S25 to
S3S more a mile for a road twelve
feet wide. As there are 200 miles OF
stone roads in New Castle county /
can be seen that the expenses 10 the

ON stone from Wilmington 10 Mid
dletown Is IS cents a ton. The new
rate will be IS cents. To other
