The Dover Board of Trade at its
recent meeting directed its COM
mittee on Civic Improvement to
wait on the Highway Commission and
request action on the location and
building of the Boulevard through or
around Dover. The delay in this work
is causing Dover people some concern
and we can see no reason why there
should be delay in settling the loca-
ton. The work should really be un-
derway now. If the route through
the east side of Dover is to be Sc
lected some filling in will be necessary
and if possible it should be done this
fall and winter for two very good rea-
sons. This would give ti0e for such
fills to settle and it would furnish
work to many local people who need it

for reasonably low wages. Dover
people are also concerned about State
street that was improved a few years
ago at a heavy cost to property owners
and taxpayers and because of The
heavy traffic of the last few years be.
came so badly worn that large sum
had to be spent for repair this year.
The Boulevard between the point
where it ends north of Dover and
where it begins south of Dover should
be considered as much a part of the
system, as necessary to build now as
any other part of it. Dover people
cannot afford to supply this link and
should not be asked to wait until hel
most costly street is worn out. There
is a difference of opinion as to the To-
cation of the route. Some favor the
one usually spoken of as east of the
built up part of the town while others
favor the Governors avenue route. W.
do not think any street of the towr
should be used as the traffic would
make such street dangerous, and in
tolerably noisy. If feasible the rout,
should be near enough to the town t.
be easily accessible but far enough
from the most travelled streets to b,
safe. However this may be the rout

given, the latter certainly has a claim
upon the public greater than the man
conducting a farm.
''The fact is overlooked by farmers
generally, that they with the family,
each year get their living directly
from the farm-regardless of the
money returns from any crop. Their
living is assured, through and by the
