however, that tho freight rate per ton per

The Railway Age Gazette says: "The preliminary

that the average receipts per ton mile we're 7O7 mills

the average for all roads was 1872 mills which was
lower than for any other recent year except 1913,

IN THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

From the Milford Chronicle.
The move to get State Highway
Commission for Delaware, which was
launched last Friday in Wilmington,
when men from all parts OF Delaware
sat for two hours at luncheon serv-
ed at the Hotel DUPONT, and discussed
the framing OF a bill 10 present TO the
Legislature-was conceived in the
right spirit. and Il must be born 10 be
a blessing TO Delaware. The strong
point Is the fact that it is removed
from county or district influence, and
that financing is provided for in a
way which pledges ample and per-
manent support from the source
which needs well-built roads most,
automobiles. auto trucks, traction en-
gines and heavy trahice. There must
be a general understanding of the
problem by all the people. The pro-
posed act creates a State Highway
Commission TO finance, build and TO
maintain tie State highways-which
may run I'm any and all directions IN
Delaware. Il will relieve the coun-
tics of maintenance of such roads or
parts OF roads as may be taken over
by the State Highway system, and
the roads will be built TO outlast the
bonds which may be issued for their
construction. This is the first real
move to get permanent state roads in
Delaware. and those who are working
in the front of Delaware's best citizen
ship. in political. in business, in H.
nancial and social Affairs and with a
real effort Of all the people, a real
era for good roads will start with the
creation by the legislature of. this
state Highway Commission. Every
Senator and Representative should
vote for il.
