A. NJ. We drove over here from Kan
sas City after 6 p. M, yesterday and
the roads are very good. We are told
that we have about rs miles of bad
roads on account of recent rains. ]
saw as much rain in my life.
We will not leave here until noon to-
day. Every hour will help the roads.
This mud is easy along side of our
clay roads.
From home to Kansas City | never
saw such wheat. They will be cut
ting in fifteen or twenty days. So
far | have not seen very much down
as l had expected, only a few acres
now and then. Some very fine fields
of oats heading out. The grass is the
best l ever looked at. The country
looks SO prosperous. Kansas cattle |
look well and lots of them. Are very |
few tourists on the road. Lots of
them tied up in Kansas City Hotels,
waiting for Missouri roads to get bet
ter. 1t seems Missouri has a great
reputation as to u road conditions.
| wish every citizen could see the road
of our State as | see them.
They would bond the State with plenty
to make at least one or two hard roads
across the State. More roads would
be built intersecting them and in a
few years we would be able to get
about with passenger and freight traf-
fic like other states, or better. A tax
to do this would not be felt by any
unless he was a moss back.
IT WILL COME, why not push it
a little. The Cadillac is all right in
mud. We tried it. | think more of
it since l have gone this far. l will
write you again in a day or so.
. Yours very truly,

ne explained, would let the people OF
Wilmington "see the other side Of the
question"
Mr.. Mearns said that after reading a
statement In a newspaper TO the effect
that workmen Of this city were un-
reliable and shiftless, he went 10 the
office OF the United States Employ
ment Service TO try to verify the
statement. He was Informed that
only one demand had been made by
the Union Paving Company for men,
and That was some time ago.
Mr.. Mearns said the Employment
Service officials called him later and
when he went to their office he was
given a statement signed by J. A..
Perry, a former foreman OF the Union
Paving Company. which said in part:
"Union Paving Company employ

Labor Representatives Also
Urge That New Structure
be Built of Stone
MANY DESIGNS ARE
BEFORE COMMISSION

John O. Saylor and James O'Kane,
representing the Central Labor Union,
appeared before the Washington Street
Bridge Commission yesterday after
noon, and urged that the bridge
to be erected at Washington street be
faced with stone, and that the COM
mission cooperate with the memorial
committee TO make the structure a
memorial for Delaware soldiers.
Mr.. Saylor urged the commission TO
cooperate with the Reception and
Memorial Commission. of which for
mer Governor Miller is chairman, to
work out a program whereby the new
bridge can be used for a memorial as
well as for traflc. The members OF
the bridge commission informed Mr..
Saylor that while they were glad 10
cooperate with the memorial commit
tee, yet under the law creating the
Washington Street Bridge Commission,
they were authorized only to build a
bridge and had no authority to go be-
yond that. II was explained that. for
any memorial feature to be added it
will be necessary for the memorial
committee to take care OF the extra
cost involved IL Will be necessary for
Ex-Governor Mlllers committee to
prepare some tangible plan for a me-
mortal feature and TO finance the
project before the commission can take
any action.
Mr.. O'Kane reiterated the request o.
the Central Labor Union that the new
bridge be faced with stone and was
given the assurance that the commits
sion will give their earnest consldera-
tlon TO the suggestion.
No design was accepted at the fneet-
