contractors have not started improv-
ing Penny Hill and the Philadelphia

Laurel road, in Kent and Sussex
counties, but construction OF the Phil
adelphia pike, which is in the worst
condition and most traversed OF any
highway in the State. has not been
started as yet.
Autoists who use the Philadelphia
pike feel that the State Highway De-
partment which now has the pike un-
der its charge, at least should do
something. right away to smooth out
the stretch from Namaan's 10 the
PENNSYLVANIA line, which Is asserted to
ne one OF the worst pieces Of road in
the country. Some persons FEAR that
the delay Of starting construction OF
the pike will cause II 10 be unfinished

pike begins through traffic will be di-
verted by way Of the Faulk road and
