A year ago, we somewhat reluctantly, lest
we might be regarded as exceeding our pre-
rogative recommend that the Levy Court
cease road building for the year 1918. A
glance at the Good Roads Account reveals
a result of this course by the Levy Court
saving of over S30.000.00 to the County. The
total expenditures for Good Roads in 1917
were S45 659.18, in 1918 they S15,54883.
Under Expenditures will be noted the item,
Court House Repairs. $45,2S6.74. We feel es-
pecial attention should be given this item for
the reason that not a bond has been issued
nor penny added to the tax rate to produce
this revenue. 1t results from an economical
administration of County affairs and a
careful watch over all expenditures by the
County Comptroller. When this Office ere
ated. the County largely in debt, but by
careful scrutiny of all expenditures and the
requirement that all bills presented be item
lied in detail. a splendid balance is now shown
on the credit side of the ledger, clearly DEM
| Onstrating oft expressed opinion that this
office. with the right man in it, is one of the
/ best we have in the interest of the taxpayers.
The new Court House or County Building
when completed will be a beautiful and thor
| oughly convenient and up-to-date building for
| all County uses, and that it can be built with
| out either increasing the taxes or issuing
| bonds, speaks well indeed for those admins
| tering our County affairs.
Touching the matter of appropriations tc
| towns totaling last year $5,275.OO. the Law
| clearly contemplates that the money thus ap-
| propriated be expended only and wholly fol
| repairs to the road-bed or street used fol
vehicular traffic. and not for repairs to SIDE
walks, the purchase and erection of stree
lamps, salaries to street-lamp lighters. etc
1t has been suggested that there are severa
towns in the County thus abusing misusini
this money. We suggest that the Levy Cour
take such action will compel the prope
| application of these appropriations
We must not refrain from again urgini
| care in the matter of purchase of supple
| and materials of all kinds for County us
whether they be for Office or other department
of County Administration. And this apple
| with equal force to all other County Expendi
lures. The splendid showing of this report i
the face of War conditions deserves the CON
mendation of the Tax payers of this Count
and is another evidence of faithfulness an
, devotion to duty on the part of the man i
the office of County Comptroller.

Cold weather has greatly delayed
work on the new state road being
built between Bridgeville and Seaford.
Much headway had been noted up to
December 18th, and a large number
OF farmers were employed with their
teams. Now only a few men are at
work and wages per hour have been
reduced to twenty-five cents. At the
beginning of Spring and warmer
weather a large number of men are
hoped to be secured to make up for
lost time.

Smyrna is not the only town in Del
aware which is indignant at the SER
vice given by the Railroad Company.
Besides taking off two train connec-
tions, the 2.15 and p. m.,Smyrna
Branch Connections, they are cutting
Milford from a service which the
people resent. The Milford Chronicle
notes "that since the war has ended
there is no just reason why the people
of the Delaware and Maryland PENN
sula should not have their conven-
fences of travel restored to pre-war
conditions. The Chronicle comments
on the changes made in the service
which were necessary for the trans
pOrtatiOn of troops. Some passenger
trains in the lower part of the PENN
sula were abandoned and the freight
service was impaired with the conse-
quent delay. The connections were
such, coupled with the delays, that it
became a long journey from lower
Delaware and Maryland northbound.
The Franklin city express, the Chron-
icle believes, should be restored.
''The people expect improved rail-
way service but many complain that
they are not getting it. The trains
are frequently late and the accommo-
datiOns are not sufficient. This state
of affairs could be put up with if de-
manded by the war. But the federal
management has thought the situa-
ton so near normal that the ban on
undue travel was lifted.
"Travel is very heavy. The stations
are crowded, but the management
does not seem to be able to handle the
traffic satisfactorily. With the pre-
sent high charges for railway Service
of all kinds, the greater the travel the
less should be the deficit for the gov
eminent under it's operation of rail
ways. This question is particularly
pertinent at this time when there il
an agitation for the government to re
tain control of the railway corpora
tions for at least five years. This ag
itation comes chiefly from Mr.. Nc
Adoo and government circles.
'The people look at the matte
largely from the point of view of tn
service rendered and the cost of tina
service. They want to be served sat
isfactorily and there should be a gen
eral improvement"

With navigable stream of water
to within a mile of the town of Smyr-
ma, it is a pity that regular estab-
Ished boat line cannot be made to run
and pay a dividend. The Frederick
Milford Steamboat is filling a need
that Smyrna might have too. The
Steamer "Frederica" was built in Will
mington twenty-three years ago by
the Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany, and has been running regularly
ever since and has paid the owners
more than four times the first cost
Captain Nathan Maxon, who has beer
in charge ever since the boat wa
launched, has given notice to the own
ers that he will resign and retire from
active steamboat life.
