MAY HAVE TO
 STOP WORK ON
 STATE HIGHWAY

Because of the increase in the cost of labor and materials contractors in Connecticut have had to place their bids very high in seeking contracts, and because they were so high 1naa recent opening of bids by the state highway department, three important jobs will probably not be finished this year. These jobs, while important, are such that can wait a few months, or until the high cost of materials and labor come down, if they are ever going to descend.
 State Highway Commissioner c. J. Bennett said yesterday that the de- partment recently called for bids for work in Columbia, Killingly and Brooklyn, the three contracts to cost approximately $5O0,0O0, and when the bids were opened 1t was found that the contractors had placed their bids about 20 or 80 per cent higher than what the work would cost. As re suit, Commissioner Bennett decided to l throw the bids out, as the state would be a heavy loser if the work was started.
 "Condftions are getting so that 1t looks as though we will have no more new work done on the state high ways,'' said Commissioner Bennett
 'HThe heavy cost of labor and materials is such that 1t IS practically 1npoS- sible to have any work done for a Legitimate amount of money, and in all probability the departments will not call for any more bids for new lroadways.
 "There will be no let-up, however on the work of keeping all the roads in the state in proper repair, and this work is going to cost the state more this year than in any other one year in it's history. so far as this depart
 ment is concerned.''
 Because of labor forming the habit, ual increase affliction, and because materials have scared so high 1T price that they are almost prohibitivS
 state officials declare that they car lsee no let-up ahead of them.

ON REORGANIZATION
| OF NATIONAL GUARD
Governors Committee Advertiscs
for Opinion of Citizenship as
to Movement.

Shall the Delaware National Guard be
reorganizcd? That is what the governors
committee, J. ID. Bush, chairman, wants
to know. And in order TO find out the
opinion Of the citizens Of the State on the
question: the committee has caused to be
inserted in the newspapers Of the state, an
advertisement, With coupon attached, Tor
the expression OF opinion by such as are
interested in the matter.
The question might bc put in another
way: Shall we or shall we not have q
National Guard in Delaware? For there
will be no reorganization, and no National
Guard. unless the sentiment OF the state
Il back of a demand for il, and the men
of Delaware Of military agc-ls TO d.
voluntarily como forward and enlist.
There are no National Guard units in
the State today. When Uncle Sam drafted
the First Delaware Infantry Regiment for
service in the world war, back IN 1917, ITS
members we're thereby automatically
discharged from the State service. At
that time home guard companies were
hastily organized IN several communities,
composed of men who couid not 60 to war,
and an effort was made TO form them into
State mi,itia unit for home defense, but
without success. With but one exception
the home guard companies soon ceased TO
function and are now not IN existence.
The exception is Company A, OF Winning
ton Ii has personnel Of about sixty
men (realy less than one platoon) and
is today the only State military organlza-
ton, thanks TO its patriotic officers and
men.
Writing Of the matter, former officer
says:
The National Guard covered itself
with glory in the war with Germany. IL
furnished twice az many trained officers
and trained enlisted men as the regular
army and trained twice as many more.
From every State in the Union its trained
organizations were ready and responded to
the first call aud on many field OF France
brilliantly demonstrated that the trust Of
our forefathers was well placed. Every
National Guard unit stood the acid test Of
war
Delaware needs the protection of the
National Guard in times Of peace as well
as in war. Its very existence is deterrent
to the forces Of disorder and unrest and
who can tell, in these troublous times,
when they may break loose within our
State. Further State pride demands the
perpetuation Of our State military organ
ization. The old Delaware Regiment has
fought in every war, from the Revolution,

GLENN AVENUE RAILWAY.
Temporary Line Sanctioned BY Board Of
Park Commissioners

The Wilmington x Philadelphia Trac-
ton Co. was granted permission, at the
monthly meeting of the Board of Park
Commissioners, yesterday afternoon. TO
lay temporary tracks on Glenn avenue,
from Market street to Sixteenth Chief
Engineer Edward r. Mack was authorized
to sign contracts which will bind the
Traction Co. to restore the roadhed of
Glenn avenue to its normal condition
after the temporary tracks are removed.
Plans of the proposed tracks and switches
were exhibited and approved. The change
is necessitated by the Washington Bridge
operation.
A communication was received from the
park guards. which asked that their salar-
les be increased from S25 to $50 week.
They stated that their reason for asking
the increase was that the necessities of life
were now higher in cost than heretofore.
The matter was referred to the finance
committee of City Council.
George r. Thompson. 5 Red Oak Road,
requested that he be allowed permission
to run a driveway from the lines of Red
Oak Road into the building lines of his
property. This would necessitate cutting
across a narrow strip of park land. His re-
quest was referred to the executive COM
mittee.
