Smyrna times., 1917-10-03

That is the amount General dupont
would have to pay under such condi-
tions, and the State would receive the
highway as a gift. Under the law
passed by the last Legislature Great
ing the State Highway Commission,
it is provided that bonds shall be is
sued for road construction, the inter-
est to be met and the bonds to be paid
off with fees from automobile licenses.
The State Highway it has always been
felt would be the most costly road to
be constructed and the lowest esti-
mate ever place upon it for macadam
construction was $3.50, 900, which did
not include roads already built by
New Castle county.
Completed Roads in New Castle
If the State Highway Commission
should take over the completed por
tions of the New Castle county State
road and make it part of the State
Highway system, it would reduce the
amount General DUPONT would be
called upon to pay out of his own
pocket considerably. 1t would mean
he would be called upon to pay for
about 40 miles of highway across
Kent county and also to construct por-
tions of the road now incompleted
along the State Highway in New Cas-
tie county, which would cost anywhere
from $500, 900 to ST, 500, 900, accord
ing to the width of the road and ma
terials used in construction for the
entire project. If the Highway Com
mission, however, should decide upon
entirely new concrete or warranite
construction for State road from the
Kent county line to Wilmington. the
cost of such a highway as General du-
Pont offers to build would range from
81, 500, 900 to So, 900, 900, it is esti-
mated. General DUPONT did not attend
the Highway Commission Wednesday
in Dover, but sent his formal offer.

Shoulders for Maryland Roads

The State Roads Commission of
Maryland will ask the next General
Assembly to provide an appropriation
with which to construct shoulders for
all highways which have been i'm
proved and which will be improved
in the future. The improvement will
be urged on the ground that there is
a general demand for wider roads.
Another argument will be that many
accidents can be avoided by the ad-
dition of the shoulders. The commits
sion will also recommend more strin-
gent laws to regulate use of the state
roads by heavy motor trucks, which
have been destructive and costly.
The work of building improved roads
through incorporated towns of Mary
land is progressing rapidly. Half a
dozen towns are now witnessing the
work. The improvement has been re-
tarded by the failure of several towns
to make provision for smooth-surfac-
ing the space between the roads built
by the state and the pavements.

Grass In Paper.Maklna.

In England there is large use of a
Spanish grass called esparto as a di-
luent for rag paper stock in making
fine white papers. AS far back as
1786 thistles were made into paper in
England. In 1888 autumn leaves were
made into paper in France. In 1928
corn husks were made into paper in
England. part Of which furnished the
title-page for "Corbett's Treatise on
Corn" Corbett having grown the
corn. In 1889 spent tan bark was
made into paper in England. In 1854
an English patent was issued to Alex
ander Brown. a Scotchman, for the
making of paper from ferns. In 1852
stalks Of maize and sorghum were
made into paper.

Body crumbIed to Pieces.

A boy aged seven died at Zurich Of
old age. His case was exceptionally
unique, for he was the youngest men,
Der of q family who had won local
repute as athletes. The eldest brother
was a first-class boxer, whilst the
younger had won many prizes on the
sports-ground. Doctors from all parts
of Europe flocked to Zurich to try and
diagnose its cause and effect a success
full cure, but in vain.
A few days before this unfortunate
child's death his teeth actually crum-
bled to pieces and his flesh began to
rot. His eyes were found to be the
size of a shoe button and his bones as
brittle as glass.

VIII Not Campaign.
These three men will not make a
campaign for the commissionership
and will discourage their friends
from doing 50, leaving the President
free.
Mr.. Prince was, before becoming
collector OF taxes. private secretary
to Representative Rufus Hardy. of
Texas, and since entering upon his
present position. has assisted the
Commissioners in many local prob
lems. Mr.. Nesbitt has work exceed
inEly hard on the local food situa-
ton and is often consulted by the
Commissioners.
The Federation Of Citizens Associa-
lions may discuss the Commissioner
ship, but suggestions that 1t will at
tempt to agree upon a candidate to
present to the President did not meet
with favor today. Several of the
member associations have candidates
OF their own, and others are expected
to make Endorsements. As an organi-
cation, therefore, the association will
withhold Enforcement OF any eAndi-
date. Its attitude has always been
that strictly local men should be
named to Commisslonerships, and
that will continue 60 be the sentiment
of its members.
