READY TO START HIGHWAY
IF RAIL HAULS MATERIAL
ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK FOR
ROAD IN DELAWARE THIS YEAR
Engineer Upham Feels Government
Will Aid to Get Trunk Line Thru
State to Fortifications at Lewes

Charles M. Upham, chief engineer
of the State Highway Commission,
sees no reason why the commission
should not commence this spring with
its project to convert 130 miles Of
roads in Delaware into state high
ways. In fact he is eager to start
with the work, and despite the war
is optimistic concerning the project
to give Delaware good roads. Mr.
| Upham is all ready for the commission
to act. His plans are complete and
awaiting the approval of the commits
sion. Mr.. Upham and a member of
his staff recently went over these plans
and they appear to be complete in
everv detail so that there need be no
delay in this respect. The War De
partment and the Council of National
Defense are said to be in favor of the
construction of main arteries and
roads north and south. This being
the case there seems little reason to
doubt that the government will be in
terested in the project in Delaware at
least the road down the state tn the
new Notifications being built on the
Delaware bay near Lewes. Mr.. Up
ham sees no great hindranCe in the
war to road building. for there prom
ises to be an abundance of material.
If the government will grant the
use of 100 freight cars and enough
locomotives to haul them, there shOulC
be no trouble in building the high
ways. There is stone in northern Del
aware, and sufficient sand at Lewes t.
! provide all the material necessary
The road from Milford to Wilmington
the expense of which 7. G. dU Pom
has agreed to bear, will not be diff
cult project if the recommendation
of Mr. Upham are followed the prir
cipal features being cut-offs to straigf
ten the route MIR. Upham announce
Il that the right of way necessary to tt
q completion of this five-mile stretch {
u road between Milford and the Appel
;. zeller farm to which point the roi
y reaches has been acquired and the dee,

D. properties. No difficulty, he a
