HARRINGTON FOLKS DEMAND
ROAD TO THE MARYLAND LINE
PROMISED BY LEVY COURT BUT
IGNORED BY HIGHWAY BOARD
Kent County Levy Court Passes Reso-

Requesting That Road Built

Requesting That Road Built
At the meeting of the County Levy
Court Tuesday, the court considered
matters in connection with the road
improvements now going on through
out the county under the recent bond
issue. A delegation from Harrington.
appeared before the court relative to
the road to be built from Harrington
to the Maryland line. The court
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, 1t has been for a long time
understood that the State Highway
Department would, from the joint
funds of this county and State, con-
struct portion of the State aid roads
IN this county, and a road extending
from Harrington west, towards the
Maryland line, and Whereas, This
Court has, from time to time, been
assured of such action by the said
State Highway Department and under
stood at the time of the agreement
between this Court and the State
Highway Department that such road
would be built, but it is now under
stood by the Court that lately the said
Highway Department has decided not
to build any part of the said road
leading from Harrington west to the
Maryland line. "Now, therefore be it
resolved, That the Levy Court of Kent
county must earnestly protest against
this action of the said Highway De-
partment, and asks that the said de-
prtment carry out the understanding
between it and this court by the build
ing of at least part of the said road
from Harrington west; that the Levy
Court acquieSced in all the requests
and demands of the Highway Depart
ment as to roads to be built, but al
ways with the understanding that the
said road from Harrington west was
to be one of the roads constructed or
at least partly constructed during the
year of 1922. "The favorable action
of the Highway Department in this
matter will be keenly appreciated by
this report"

trip into the other end of the state
was due to the crisis that fruit grow
ers and particularly apple raisers feel
at this time. It's the season when the
trees spread their leaves and begin
to bloom, and things can. happen that
can never be repaired as far as the
fruit trees are concerned. Of the
10000 trees that the Delaware Apple
Co., owns about Bridgeville, it is ex-
pected that at least 10000 of them
will bring forth first crop this year.

track before the trestle was reached
and almost crossed, when suddenly It

into space, and was almost completely
demolished when it fell into the shall

The seven killed, six men and one
woman, met instant death. Several

For many hours other passengers and
persons from nearby towns, spured
by the cries of the injured, worked in
the wreckage, releasing those impris-

Ambulances and physicians were
rushed from Atlanta, and the injured
were removed to hospitals here.
The first indication of there being
anything wrong with the train was
noticed just before it reached the
trestle, said a survivor "A rumbling
noise, sounding as if one of the
wheels had broken, followed by irreg-
ular motion of the car, was the first
inkling we had that something was
wrong
About five minutes after the first
warning we were suddenly pumped

front door. l managed to assist the

Judging from reports from druggists

An examining physician for one of the

SO many applicants for insurance are re-
