MONEY FROM STATE
FOR COUNTY ROADS

At the meeting of the Kent county
Levy Court last Tuesday there was
a great discussion of road building.
Commissioner Hope, who had been
appointed to see Chief Engineer Up
ham of the State Highway Commission
relative to the State law regarding
the building or improvement of county
highways where the State furnished
dollar for dollar of the countys mon
ey, reported that all roads to be i'm
proved by the county where State aid
is expected, must be done under plans
and specifications of the State High
way Commission. It was found that
this cost per mile would be about $32.-
600, half of which the State would pay
and the county would have to pay the
other half
Mr.. Richardson and Mr.. Lynch. in
terested iii the Improvement of the
MahOn's Ditch road, appeared with
proposition of cedar posts for work on
the road; also, the question of oyster
shells. The Levy Court did not feel it
would be justified in making the i'm
provements at the cost estimated.
$4,000, when the road is used mainly
by oystermen to and from their oyster
boats, and is not altogether a road used
by the general public.
Commissioner Hope, chairman of
the St. Jones River improvement pro-
ject, stated that inasmuch as there had
been given to the Federal government
by the Hun heirs of the Wild Cat farm
a strip of land, thus Strengthening the
river to a considerable extent, and as
this improvement would be of great
benefit to the farmers and fruit grow
ers of Kent county, he presented a re-
solution, which was unanimously
adopted, calling for the construction
" the county of a road from the cause
way at Lebanon to the fast land of the
4unn property, such road when COM

NOW CANNING PEAS

The pea canneries in Milford start
ed operations on Tuesdaym0f this week
at which time only fair delivery of
peas was made by the farmers. Long
before the day was over all of the wag-
ons had been unloaded and gone home.
This is unusual for the opening days
OF the season, and shows plainly the
quantity of peas grown in and about
Milford. Some farmers who had ex-
pected record crops this year, have
found that during the past week the
pest which is destroying the vines has
so badly damaged their fields that they
will hardly get enough from them to
pay for the seed used. One farmer who
planted fourteen bushels of peas this
year, stated to the writer that he did
not expect to cut more than two wag-
on loads from his field.
