Milford chronicle., 1919-08-01

/ TT WOULD SEEM that people would learn from exper-
ience but there is fool born each minute obsruct
the progress of the world in particular In Della
when the opportunity came the people have
splendid road built thru the entire length of
the State without the and be presented
by private citizen gift to all the people there arose
a of in Sussex county who Obstructed and at
tempted to defeat the purpose Of this phanhropst by
securing njuncOns nstituting law suits, and in
way prevent the consummaon of the object. There
attempt claim that the highway not needed or
would blessing the people of the future
The who employed eminent counsel to fight their
legal battle and effort prevent the building of the dupont
Boulevard thru county finally accomplished their
purpose delay have all sold for the cold
cash, and the highway has been built cost almost
double what it would have taken to build the road five
years The lines of the route have not been mater
tally changed obstructoniss gained nothing
but few thousands of dollars the cost of the man
who built given this splendid highway the
pie of Delaware But these have deprived the people
of Sussex county of the privilege of enjoying modern
highway for the past five and their names
will be pregnant with of their and
selfish purposes, against the public
But after this experience in Sussex county there is
concreted effort among few people, who backed
by those who hope to keep their efforts unknown the
public employ and obstruct and delay the build
ing of the dupont Highway from Dover to Milford as far
is possible. 1t is upon tenable grounds or
argument of merit that they rely to accomplish
attacks, with the purpose of preventing the building of
the road thru Kent county by the who has built and
given the DUPONT Highway thru Sussex county.
In the present of mind the people of Kent county
and the balance of the State of Delaware in humor
to obstruction against the construction
part the Boulevard which is notoriously urgent
for the welfare of the State
Undoubtedly the eminent lawyer employed Will set forth
certain names objecors and claimants for dam
ages etc. for construction of the Boulevard thru and
over lands, this will tell the whole story
as who the general hackers against this public
work. The people will those who back of
the fight against great public benefit to all the people
they will be held responsible in their nakedness of
purpose. We realize there and will be where
there just grievance which will be adjusted by the
State Highway Commission; but those who setting
individuals to represent purpose of obstruction by
legal proceedings under of special
will forth, and face the indignation of the
people of Kent county and the whole State and answer
why they obstruc and delay building of modern
and make possible for the farmers and fruit
growers of lower Delaware to deliver their perishable
ruit by trucks the in the cities at great
saving in cost and money to them.
We believe the political ambitions of only these
will be blasted but that the aspirations of those who
hid them for favors hire will wither when the people
told the whole of the purpose which is aiming
o hold back the completion a splendid highway which
will be the main artery of this peninsula in the next ten
1ears.
No matter what the effort be to prevent It's con-
ructon where the attack made the Boulevard will
e built thru Kent county to connect with the road in
sussex county and with New Castle and the effort of
ew to prevent its accomplishment will be brand
shame them it has been for those who made the
anne effort in Sussex county and failed a
believe the of Kent awake to the
BENEFITS which will to them individuals with the
Boulevard built the State and if belief is well
ounded then the narrow channel of small politicians +
minds will not influence them to permit small personal
political policies longer endanger their pocketboOks
y deriving Of facilities market quickly and cheap
y their fruit and farm produce. ii
