TO REPAIR DIRT ROADS.
Sussex County Levy Court Makes An
Appropriation of $4,000.

Special Correspondence OF Every Evening
Georgetown. March 1o.-Because Of
the miserable condition of the dirt roads
IN Sussex county, made so by the unsual
weather conditions this winter. it has been
found necessary by the Levy Court to
appropriate $40. 600, in order that the
County Highway Department may have
available funds TO make the necessary
repairs before the time for the next ap-
preparation, which will be based ON the
tax levy to be made within the next few
weeks. Two Thousand dollars will be ap-
piled TO each of the ten districts, and it
is believed the sum will be sufficient to
put the roads in the condition they usually
are when the spring work starts.
Hundreds of dollars will have TO be
spent for drainage conditions and several
bridges will have TO be replaced in order
that conditions may be remedied. For
more than three months traffic has been
demoralized in lower Delaware, and even
at TINS time il is difficult to travel in
nearly all of the districts because of the
mIry conditions. The past three months
has been the most severe weather on dirt
roads In the history of the County High
