SCHOOL CODE REPEALER
A BILL TO REPEAL THE SCHOOL CODE
BEFORE The LEGISLATURE.

Representative Schneider, of Kent
county, Wednesday introduced a bill
to repeal the school code. That such a
bill had not been introduced much
earlier is one of the surprises of the
session. 1t is the first school code re-
pealer offered at this session.
The Legislators generally have been
awaiting the report of the Citizens
Committee, which has been drafting
proposed changes in the school laws
The committee expects to submit it's
report to the Legislative for consid-
GRAFTON by the education committees
of the State and House.
According to reports, the proposed
changes will provide for a poll tax on
every adult man and woman resident
of the State for school purposes, in
to an income tax for school
purposes. One report has it the poll
tax proposed will be $5 head.
If such a bill is offered, according
to some of the legislators, there would
be much chance of it's adoption, and
there would be far more chance of the
present school code being retained.

URGE BUILDING OF
KENT COUNTY ROADS
A LARGE DELEGATION OF PROMINENT
CITIZENS OF LOWER KENT CONFER
WITH HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
MILFORD TO MARYLAND Line
BY The MOST ADVANTAGEOUS ROUTE
TOBE DECIDED UPON BY The COM
MISSION AFTER A SURVEY.

A large delegation of prominent
citizens of lower Delaware held a con-
ference with the Delaware State High
way Department on Wednesday, urg-
ing the continuance of road building
in the lower part of Kent county, run
ming east and west to the Maryland
line, the road designated being from
Milford to Harrington and from Har-
ringtOn to the Maryland line by the
most advantageous route, to be decid-
ed upon by the commission after a
survey.
Among those who spoke in favor of
continuance of the State road-building
program were DR.. G. Layton Grier and
former Secretary of State George R.
Hall, of Milford; Alfred Raughley,
Harrington; Professor Stevens, of
Denton; Attorneys Redden and Lewis,
also of Denton, Md, all of whom eX-
pressed the sentiment of the people
of their respective communities as to
the need of good roads.
Members of the Delaware Commits
sion including General T. Coleman du
Pont, Governor Denney and Josiah
Marvel, all expressed a willingness of
continuing road building, but said
that with the completion of roads now
under construction in the lower coun-
ties the road appropriation would be
exhausted and the State Highway De-
partment would have to shut down
construction.
With this statement it was urged by
members of the delegation that the
State Highway Commission prepare a
bill asking the Legislature to apprO-
pirate additional money to build the
roads east and west as contemplated.
General du POnt, a member of the
Delaware State Highway Commission
stated that it was hardly proper for
the commission to take such action as
the commissioners were the servants
of the people, but suggested that tie
delegation take such steps with the
Legislature and the Kent County Levy
Court urging them to comply with
their request by having the Legisla-
ture to appropriate at least half mil
lion dollars for the two years which
would allow the construction of the
roads asked for.
A committee of the delegation was
appointed to wait on the Legislature
and Kent County Levy Court to urge
The appropriations asked for. The
includes DR.. G.. Layton
Grier, General George H. Hall, John
B. Smith, Alfred Raughley and Rob-
ert Jones.
