There is nothing that touches our
people more than good roads. All
over Delaware it is the one clamor
of the taxpayers and farmers. The
Milford Chronicle says 1.-THE build
ing Of good roads is ''maa's work. >
1t cannot be done ''just So " There
must be de6niate planning and thorough
system and capable supervision. Ito
make the best use Of road funds they
should be spent under the direction Of
men who have spent their lives in the
study and practice of road building. !"
These men must be paid adequately
for their services. and these services
should be available for all the counties
and districts through which the roads
under construction run. II may not
be practicable for single counties TO
employ the best engineering ability
in the construction of their roads but
this difficulty can be largely overcome
if the connties will join in the work
of building up the State highway de.
partments from which they would be
able to obtain such technical advice
as might be required in the solution
of their several difficult problems il

BACK BOULEVARD.
Senators and congressman
Want Road Between WASH
ington and Annapolis.

Prospects for the early construction
OF the Annapolis Washington boulevard
and defensive highway became brighter
than ever today when It was learned
that all the members of the Maryland
delegation in Congress and officials OF
the war and Navy Departments were
strongly favorable to 1t.
Senator John Walter Smith. of Mary
land, who u also chairman of the Dis
trict Committee, said today he intended
making thorough investigation of the
highway plan and in all probability
would Introduce a special bill In Con-
gress calling for a Federal appropria-
ton as large as that already condition
ally made by the Maryland Legislature.
Appropriates $125,000.
The general assembly of Senator
Smiths native State has appropriated
S125,0O0 for use In constructing the An
napolIs- Washington boulevard, provided
Congress makes a similar sum avail
able. The Maryland money will be
raised by bond issue this summer.
Preparedness and good roads advocates
intend keeping after Congress until a
similar sum is made available this sum-
nier no that work on the highway may
begin in August or September.
Senators Smith and Lee. together with
all the Maryland members OF the House.
have expressed their conviction that
the Annapolis w ashington boulevard
and defensive highway plan Is a mert-
torious, II not absolutely necessary
proposition. They have pledged them
selves to exert their utmost efforts to
further tho contamination OF the plan.
War and Navy Department officials
rave looked with favor on the project
stree 1t was first suggested. The initial
suggestion was not made this year. but
in 1898. At that time IL was realized
by public men that the National Capt.
tai should be connected with An
napolis by a modern and direct high
way. Tho route was laid out in 1796,
and the bill passed By the Maryland
legislature provides that the same lines
be followed from Camp Parole. just
outside OF Annapolis, to Bladensburg.
To Aid Defense.
Many preparedness leagues in the
United States which realize the impor-
lance of having the best possible roads
link the strategic centers Of this coun-
try have printed and distributed maps
of these highways, and the proposed
Annapolis Wo shington boulevard is In
cluded in the system outlined.
The Annapolis-W Washington highway
Is favored by practically all Maryland
ers, the bill having been unanimously
passed in both houses of the legislature
who operates his car ir Maryland.
Many petitions In favor Of the road
will be sent to Congress by Marylanders
and Washington automobilists in the
hope OF getting the Federal appropria-
tion by juno or July.
