Smyrna road, last Tuesday, noticed a
car standing along the roadway and
stopped to inquire the trouble. The
driver informed him he had engine
trouble and requested Ingram to show
hlm to a garage. Ingram looked at
the machine, a large seven-passenger
Buick touring car, rather skeptical
as TO whether his light motorcycle
was equal to such an emergency. The
owner of the car, however, produced
stout steel tow line and ingram
made the venture. Seating an extra
man in his side car, he started for
Dover and reached there without mis-
nap making an average of 20 miles
per hour enroute.

CANAL PROJECT SET BACK

There will be no immediate work
on the dredging of the waterway be-
tween Rehoboth Bay and the Della
ware Bay, known as the Lewes cam
al, from present indications. Bids were
opened at the Office of the U. S. dis
trict engineer on July IS. but Colonel
e. n. Johnston, U. S. district engi-
neer. recommended that the one bid
received be rejected, as it was too
high.
The bid from the Delaware Dredg-
ing Company was ga cents per cubic
yard. The rejection of the bid was
based on the fact that the S39. 900
available for the project would not
be great enough to do sufficient work
to make the desired improvement in
The waterway. 1t is now expected
that the work will be delayed for
some time, as it is not likely that
bids will be asked for soon again.
1t was proposed to dredge a chan I
mel six feet deep at mean low water
through the town of Lewes to the D. 1
NJ. q V. railroad bridge, distance
Of about 5000 feet and 40 feet wide
rom a point about 1000 feet north
arly from the d. NJ. & V. railroad
bridge near Rehoboth, southwark to
tehoboth Bay, a distance of about 8
niles. 1t was estimated that the
mount to be removed was about 95.-
700 cubic yards.
