PLAYGROUND SURVEY.
Clty's Needs Ascertained BY Prominent
Residents on Tour of Inspection.

A survey Of Fairgrounds WA made by a
group Of representative citizens under the
direction of the Community Service
yesterday afternoon. The lack Of sufficient
grounds, the meagre equipment and the
fact that all the Fairgrounds we're closed
emphasized the need Of some improve
ment. The party Comprised Pierre >.

II. OdcIl, Mr.. and Mrs. John p. Nields,
Miss Jennie NJ. Weaver, supervisor Of
city Fairgrounds; Mr. Donald Ash

Vivian G. Bosgs, Every playground in the
city was visited, As well ~ sosne Of the
most likely sites for the establishment Of
new ones
The need Of additional Fairgrounds
and more modern equipment was en-
phasized as the automobiles Of the party
passed through the streets IN the more
crowded section Of the city, where children
were playing.
Mrs. Garrett jefferson Hart, who has
been interested IN public playground
work here since 1908, has thrown her
entire efforts INTO the campaign. From

.CAUSEWAY WORK
IS CREDIT TO STATE
Surface Has Been Raised a. Well
as Widcned and Has Been
Faced With Asphalt.

The opening up 10 ira ffic Of the cause
way" from South Market street to Rogers
Corner after several months during
which it has displayed n "detour" sign
is a welcome event to motorists. As the
direct link to the state road and TO New
Castle via Rogers Corner, the causeway
is a very important part of the cntranoo
into Wilmington from the south.
The general level of the roadway hns
been raised through the marshy lowland
some three to four fe ct, by the deposit of
over fifty thousand cubic feet OF earth
fill. This gives height of at least two
feet above the highest tide to the road
surface and owing to the fact that the
roadway has been widened as well as
raised, gives more substantial founda-
ton than has ever existed before.
The character of the underlying soil
which consists of series of elaycy layers
constantly saturated with tidal water, is
of course not changed; but the curious
condition arises, that as these sub-sur-
face layers heave and fall, the asphalt
surface. which makes flexible coating,
rises and falls with it, without cracking.
The coating is filled sheet asphalt for a
part of the length, as far as the cutoff
railroad crossing, and asphalt penetra-
tion for the remainder Of the distance.
The trolley tracks at the side are now
being raised to the new road level, and the
railway tracks at all points where cross
ings exist have already been brought up
to the new grade
The sides of the fill are being rounded
off and when the poles of the telephone
and electric light wires have been moved
to the margin, as they will be, eventually
the stretch of road will do credit TO the
State Highway Department, which has
been in charge of the work.
