ELECTROCUTED

James M. Mcdowell was killed We'd
nesday by picking up an electric light
wire which carried 1900 volts.
He and some other men were work
ing in the hay field for Martin L.
Clardy. The city light wires to Clar-
dy's house run through the field in
which they were working and in some
manner one of the wires became brok-
en-. Mr.. Clardy had warned the men
not to go close or to touch the wire,
but Mcdowell remarked that there
wasn't any danger in the wire be-
cause it didn't carry high enough volt
age.
At noon the men started to their
homes for dinner, Mcdowell starting
off by himself to his home in DeLas-
sus. 1t is supposed that in passing the
wire he thought he would investigate
and Sc if it would hurt to pick it up,
as he was found fiat on his back
with his hands burned off. He was
81 years of age.

WAR AFFECTS ROAD BUILDING
State Highway Commission and Levy
Courts to Discuss Responsibility

State Highway Commission and Levy |
Courts to Discuss Responsibility
War conditions may seriously affect |
the road building undertakings of the
State Highway Department it is
understood, this matter being con-
sidered at some length in the New
Castle County Levy Court yesterday.
A resolution adopted, requests that a
Joint meeting of the State Highway
Department and the Levy Court be
held to ascertain what roads, if any,
the State Highway Department can
take over Immediately from county
control. During a discussion of the
Philadelphia turnpike and the condi-
tion of Penny Hill, Josiah Marvel, q
member of the Board of State High
way Commissioners, speaking as he
said, unofficiaily, said the State High
way Department is authorized and
directed to take over county roads
when it is ready to construct. He
thought the department would not take
over any roads not constructed by up
to-date methods and was positive none
would be taken over before it was
ready to begin construction. The de-
partment had hoped to take over the
philadelphia pike next spring, but the
war had changed the situation. That
highway might be taken over in six
months, or it might not be taken over
in six years. Owing to uncertainty
concerning the time of taking over he
advised the court to defer lasting work
on the pike. He spoke of pact be.
tween the State Highway Department
and the Levy Court relative to the
Philadelphia pike, but said he did not
think the former could do anything or
the pike for one year and possibly moi
for two or FIVE years. James Wilson
county engineer, suggested that thu
State Highway Department take ovel
now one and one-half miles of tn,
Philadelphia pike, from the city limit
to the top of Penny Hill, and imme
diately begin grading thereon an
that meanwhile traffic be detoure
from the pike to the Edge Moor an
Marsh roads.

There is a disposition on the part
of Smyrna Town Council to meet the

economy. Wherever possible in the
matter of street lighting they are cut
ting down the current to save the sup
ply. This, with the encouragement
they are receiving that a carload of
coal will be forthcoming from time
to time, makes Council feel they will
be able to pull thru the winter with
out any serious handicap to the plant.
