is AN IMPORTANT LINK

lntimating possible Federal aid, Thomas
II. Macdonald, chief of the Bureau of
Public Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has written to Charles
Nj. Upham, chief engineer of the State
highway department. suggesting that the
wornout road between Newark and VIII
mington, now under the supervision of
the authorities Of New Castle county,
be taken over. improved and maintained
by the State highway department. This
road is a link III the main highway from
Boston, Mass, through all the large cities
along the Atlantic coast to Miami, Fla.
\ copy of Mr.. Macdonald letter
follows:
''Our attention has been called to the
condition of the road between Newark

which is under,the supervision OF the au-
thoritics Of New Castle county and not

an beyond il seems TO us that its inter-
state character fits il particularly for

From the foregoing you can see our
interest in this piece Of highway, and il
occurs to us that il may be possible for
the State highway department to take
over this road as part Of the State high
way system, as it IS western contnua-
tion Of the Philadelphia pike south Of
