State Has Over 300 Miles Of Highway
Delaware has undertaken no spe-
cific mileage to build in order to get
a State highway system. Roads re-
ouiring construction are built and as
constructed are added to the system,
which now includes approximately 300
miles of highway. Highways con-
structed also by State aid are, when
completed, added to the system,
though part of the maintenance cost
is paid by the county in which the
roads are located. The sum of $780,
600 per year is available for division
among the three counties on State aid
work. In order to participate in Sta.e
aid all three counties have issue
bonds. In 1917 Sussex county. author
lied the issuance of $1,000,0O0 in
bonds, in 1919 New Castle county au-
thonzedj the issuance of 100000 and

TRADE REPORT

(Continued from Page One. )

(Continued from Page One.) 1918 and about 31 per cent. in 1919; averaged about 25 per cent in 1918 and about 32 per cent. in 1919. These earnings, like those of tanners and shoe manufacturers resulted from shoe sold. The increased earnings in 1919 were. due to the fact that selling prices increased by greater amounts and percentages than did costs.'
 While the high shoe prices were large fy attributable to large profits the report of the Commission declares that the whole situation was 'the re- suit of abnormal condition and sup ply and demand arising from the war which were both economic and phys chological.
 The onward march of prices and profits was finally ended by the con- sumers themselves with the f+buyers' :" strike of 1920, the Trade Commission finds.
 .The failure of leather prices and shoe prices to decline as extensively as did the hide prices after the buy CTS strike. the commission finds, May be attributed to the fact that other costs had not declined as much as raw material costs, and to an ap- parent tendency to base selling prices on actual rather than replacement , costs-a policy inconsistent with that applied in 1919 while prices were ad- vancing.''
 Many who gained large profits in 1919 felt the wrath of the public in 1920, when the consumer failed to buy and small profits and in some cases even losses were chalked up beside the large profits of the preced- ing year.
 While the commissions investiga- ton cloS~ with the year 1920, it holds that present prices of hides and conditions existent in the industry Justify and expectation of still further declines in the quoted prices of leather and Of shoes"

SHIPPING BOARD LOSS
 NEARLY 3 BILLION

T anchor in the ports of the Atlantic and Pacific. The steel ships are rust ing and the wooden ones are rotting under disuse. The guarding and maintenance alone costs the govern ment nearly half a billion dollars a year.
 The ships represent a net invest ment to the government of between $S, 100000 and 4,0O0,ooO,o 900. At the present price of tonnage it would be difficult to realize more than $750. 100000 in a forced sale, if in- deed, that amount could be obtained.
 This enormous difference must u1ti- mately be charged off on the govern ments' books to war expense, and the American people must make up their minds to swallow it, according to the consensus of opinion that has been gathered by the president and his ad- visers.
 The liquidation will be slow process and designed to extract the last pos sible penny for the benefit of the gov ernment, it was said today. But the end is in sight-the government un- der the administration policy, is going to get out of the shipping business and stay out

 Planning Action
CContinued from Page One1

(Continued from Page One.)
 There are only two possible routes through Stratford to Bridgeport. The Paradise Green and Derby buses use the same route as the trolleys, and the New Haven and Walnut Beach lines use Barnum avenue, running through the town the same as the New Haven trolleys. Study of the traffic shows plainly that a great many per sons ride through Stratford on buses and that the Paradise Green line is exceedingly popular with Stratford people.
 From conversation with I.ally yes terday it seems evident that whatever is necessary will be done to protect the buses and the portion of the pub lie that depend upon them for trans portation to Bridgeport. Since drop ping to five cents some time ago the Paradise Green line has been more popular than ever, and the patrons of that line will be decidedly dis appointed if the necessary legislation is not put through to insurance con- tnuance of service.
