WHY
From the Milford Chronicle.

AhiA AAN MllAoAA knIuuAClt.
Why should the State Of Delaware
worry over the building OF a State
Road through the length Of the State
when General r. c. DUPONT has on
cred to build. and is now building
boulevard. which will be presented to
the people. without a dollar cost?
With a magnificently built highway.
which would cost General dupont
probably $4,000, 900 to complete. the
State OF Delaware would be possessed
Of a boulevard running its entire
length, and the only responsibility at
tached will be the care and mainten-
ance by Highway Commission to be
created by the Legislature. The ac-
ceptance of this great gift from II.
Coleman DUPONT, means that the peo-
pie of Delaware IL they desire to en-
bark in building State highways,
would have a tangible and well con-
structed boulevard extending through
Delaware to begin with. and as an i'm
portant result Of this gift. no bonded
debt with annual interest to be paid
The building Of the boulevard after
the plans Of General dupont would
be blessing to Delaware in future
years. 1t has proved a blessing al
ready TO one-half OF Sussex county.
and no one now condemns or opposes
its construction.

SMYRNA AND IMPROVEMENT.

From the Smyrna Times
The act giving Smyrna the right to
borrow $4,000 to improve its streets
has passed both Houses Of the Legis-
lature and no doubt will be signed by
Governor Townsend Let us hope that
as soon as the bill is approved and
becomes a law that Smyrna Town
Council will get busy and give us a
bricked or some permanent roadbed
on Commerce street, and all the other
streets. not mecadamed to be thus
improved. We hear some Councilmen
express the opinion that since ma
terial Is high il will be better TO re-
surface Commerce street and wait I'M
iii material takes a drop. This It
would seem to be a sheer waste. Ma
terial may even go higher Il may be
years before brick blocks will be as
cheap as when Main street was laid
II It Is ever as cheap. Why not go
ahead and bond the town and give
us these improvements. Let the fu-
ture generations bear their share OF
the expense. There is no use wait
ing. Let us have good streets all over
the town. The opportunity is ripe to
go ahead and let us hope something
will be doing this spring.

Here's an item which should prove

by the Pennsylvania railroad COM
