Highway Commissioners of Delaware
will not permit local interests, or per-
sonal desires Of any man, or set Of men
TO influence their work in locating the
State Highway which they will build
through the State Of Delaware. What
matters in that an individual may be
incOpvenienced now, when the traffic
necessities Of tomorrow and the fu-
ture require that certain directions be
followed that the most economical re-
suits will follow for the future, and
the travel over the road be made safe
for those who must travel over II in
the future years? This road will be
built as permanent as the art Of man
can make Il. and at least it will be
where 1t is located for the next CEN

public interests shall override any per-
