Stretch From Selbyville To George
town Transferred To State
Yesterday.

The first section Of the Coleman du
Pont Road, from Selbyville to George
town, a stretch of a little over twenty
miles, was presented formally to the
State yesterday. A delegation of good
roads advocates from all parts of the
State inspected the Boulevard before
the roadway was presented to the
State. and all were enthusiastic that
the State was TO receive such a hand
some piece Of modern roadway. The
inspection carried the party over the
entire section to be transferred, and
terminated at Selbyville. following
which they returned to Georgetown
where luncheon was served. The
main roadway is Of smooth, unbroken

feet example of modern highway. On
each side of the concrete strip dirt

TANK CAR OFF CAUSEWAY

While attempting TO pass a long
wagon on the causeway south of
Frederica Thursday afternoon of last
week, a large automobile truck, on
which was erected a tank for carry
ing "Tarvia," slipped off the roadway
and into the water and mud. In go
ing over the bank the car turned on
its side and over half of it was sub
merged An effort NEs made by the
three men with the truck to secure
help with which they could get the
heavy vehicle out of the mire, but
none could be secured in Frederick.
A representative of the company came
to the scene of the accident on Friday
and late that night managed to get
the truck on solid ground. The out
fit is one which is to do some work on
the du Pont Boulevard and also put
"Tarvia" on the streets to be rebuilt
in Milford.
The accident demonstrates that
which many persons in this section
have been trying to impress on the
Kent County Levy Court for months
past-the fact that the causeway is
too narrow. Fortunately no persons
were injured as a result of the acci-
dent. but it will be only a question
Of time before the narrowness of the
place will cause an accident which
may cause the loss of life. The road
way has been stoned this week. Why
not widen the place while the men are
at work?

TO THE CITIZENS OF MILFORD

The warm season is near at hand
when rubbish and filth will begin to
decay and attract flies. To guard
against the dangers that attend such
conditions it is necessary that all pri-
vate premises and public alleys and
streets should be cleaned. The
Board of Health insists that the town
shall be kept as clean as possible for
the good of the public health. It is
easier to prevent sickness than to
cure it. 1t is therefore best to pre-
vent, if possible, by cleanliness and
sanitary care of our surroundings,
the expense and suffering. and possi-
bic sorrow, caused by sickness. of
those we care for. Each summer
brings its train of epidemics and
many of these can be prevented en-
tirely and others can be modified by
proper sanitary conditions. II is the
earnest desire of the Board of Health
that the citizens of Milford will give
their earnest support in our effort to
eliminate all disease bearing condi-
tiOns
To begin this work we have desig-
mated from Monday, May 2Sth, to Sat
urday. June 2nd, as Clean-Up Week,
and we request each property owner
and renter in the town of Milford, to
see that their premises are thorough
ly cleaned on or before that date; and
we urgently request the Town Council
to see that all the private alleys and
lanes and the streets shall be cleaned
by that date. All rubbish that can
not be burned should be removed to
the public dumping grounds.
After the second day of June. every
property owner and renter will be
held responsible for any unsanitary
of their premises and the
proper officers will be instructed to
make inspections. The laws of the
State and local Boards Of Health will
be carefully enforced and the public |
Of Milford is requested to give US
their earnest support.
