knocked to pieces by heavy truck
trafic.
Motor Tax.
The burden Of the construction
and the increasing cost OF the nm
keep OF our roads under modern traf-
fio conditions is too heavy to be borne
by the property owner alone. and
some other source of revenue shouId
be sought AS we said above. II Is
the traffic that destroys the roads
and the traffic should largely paw for
at least the maintenance OF them.
Many OF our States now realize this
ana have placed additional taxes on
our motor vehicles, the income so de-
rived In part or In whole going into
maintenance road fund. There are
various methods OF assessing this tax.
by horsepower. by weight, by mileage
etc, which I will not go into at pres.
sent, but would respectfully sug-
gest 70 your honorable bodies that
you give this matter your serious con-
sideration at at this time. need
hardly add that I will be very glad
TO assist you in any way can.
Remarks.
There are still some pieces OF
roads that should be built TO close
the gaps In our lines OF improved
roads, and others. TO carry them to
some definite point. The road from
Pine Tree Corner 70 the State Road
at Ferguson's Corner. IN Appoouini-
mink Hundred. about two miles long
II improved, would make a continu-
ous stone road Of our Eastern Route
via ST. Georges and Odessa 10 the
Kent County Line. The road from
Hockessin to the Pennsylvania State
Line. on the old Lancaster Pike. TO
Avondale, a distance of 81 mile
would end our system at that point.
The piece of road from Dilworth's
Corner, on the Kennett Road TO Ash
land, distance one and one-half
miles, would connect the Kennett
Turnpike, at Centreyille, with the Red
Clay Greek Road, leading TO Kennett
Square, in Pennsylvania. via the i'm
proved roads north from Yorklyn,
and also via our stone road to Hook
essin and the North Star Gross Roads.
In Mill Greek Hundred. From this
point with about three miles more.
with our stone road at Mt
Pleasant School House, OF Milford
Cross Roads, we would have a contin-
nous stone road across the northern
and western ends OF Christiana and /
Afill Greek Hundrers 10 the Telegraph I
Road and Newark. The road from /
Sirkwood 10 St. Georges still lacks /
lbout one and one-half miles OF be- |
ng finished. and the road from Boyd's
,orner TO Port Penn. is about two
niles short OF that point With these
oads constructed the road system OF
lew Castle county, as now defined,
would be closed. I do not recon-
mend that all OF the above roads be
uilt now, nor all at the same time,
ut as the labor problem may war
ant, and 1t is otherwise sxpedisnt.S
