EXIT BITUMINoUs MACADAM
To the Editor,

To the Editor,
Hard Road Champion
+ In your edition Of the 22nd uIt. |
note with dismay that our State High
way Department have selected bitum-
nous macadam for that 23 miles Of
Highgate road at a cost of S30,634 per
mile. In the light Of present day
traffic why should such impermanent
construction be chosen for our main
roads T? The State Of Massachusetts is
discarding this type Of construction
and purposes to build 25 miles Of Re
inforced-Concrete roads in 1922 on her
main trunk lines where bituminous
macadam (of the type chosen for that
Highgate road) is incapable Of stand
ing up under modern traffic without
mulctuary maintenance. Where's the
economy?
In my opinion no more acute ques-
ton ever waited upon the forethought
and the energetic attention of the peo-
pie Of this commonwealth than our
roads. When one stops to consider the
old Roman roads built Of stone 1000
years ago and good today-roads that
have withstood the thumps of steel
and iron for centuries-then why
shouldn't we built this type? This is
the age Of rubber-we shall always
have a plentiful supply Of rubber
what can such traffic do TO modern
concrete roads which are nothing else
than stone roads? Composed as they
are Of sand, stone and cement. When
the locomotive engineer wants to pre-
vent skidding he aplpies sand, it is
just this material that gives our con-
crete roads their virtue.
There is no sentiment about this,
why should communities that have had
concrete roads the longest continue to
build more such roads every year?
Pennsylvania built 613 miles Of con-
crete roads in highway system in 1921.
New York built 366 miles, Illinois
awarded 1912 miles in 1921 and Indi-
ana has Ala miles in her system.
Pretty good evidence Of the economy
of such road construction amt il +?
With the foremost engineers in the
United States selecting reinforced
concrete as the ideal section for the
Lincoln highway, engineers who are
not zone road engineers" il is Federal
Aid Money. Does the Federal Aid adj
vance the money TO maintain bitumin-
Gus macadam after il is built? No.
A study Of the federal aid statistics
from 1916 to November !, 1921, re
veals the fact that over so per cent Of
such money expended for road pave
ments has been for concrete. Such .
roads when well built become a part Of .
the geology Of the soil On the other
hand II this State builds enough Of
The bituminous macadam type it will
bankrupt her absolutely agree with
Mr.. Mentzer and other good roads
boosters that we should specify that
bur coming Bond Issue be expended
'or Reinforced Concrete Roads. All
Use seems like oleomargarine to me
or our main roads.

RICHARDSON
PARK SCHOOL
PROBLEM SETTLED
School Board Orders lnstalla-
ton of New Furnace in
Basement. Pupils Will
Return to Classes
TOO MUCH GAS

For the past week residents OF
Richardson Park, near Wilmington,
have been up in arms over the condl-
tions under which their children have
to labor at school. In addition to
many Inconvenience which they have
experienced in the past few years, the
presence of monoxide gas fumes Tor
the past few days have rendered the
building almost untennable.
Parents have in many cases forbid
den their children to attend classes
unless some action be taken by the
School Board. Henderson Smith,
President of the Board, at its meeting
last week. stated that the building was
unfit for use and the school was closed
temporarily.
Inspection of the heating arrange
ments show that many pipes had pe-
come rusted and were broken IN places
allowing the foul gas to penetrate the
room. In addition to this, the cellar
of the building was found to be very
damp and unhealthy. The School
Board yesterday decided that repairs
be made at once and the plumbers ana
heating experts are working on the
lob now. 1t is hoped that the work
will be finished in time for the school
to reopen tomorrow morning.
Early in the history of the trouble
the parents were very much dlsap-
nointed at the dilatory tactics alleged
to have been practiced in the matter
bv the School Board. During the pa
rade of the Sussex County school chill
dren last Saturday in Wilmington,
several of the Richardson Park boys
and girls appeared in the parade with
gas masks attached and placardeo
with signs telling the world OF the
conditions at their school.
1t appears that at this time the
situation is again normal and the
children will soon be back at then
desks.

dastardly deed. Officials from Broad
Street Station in Philadelphia arrived
hopes of finding out who did the
on the scene and lent their expert ad-
vice to the proceedings, but darned if
they could find out who gummed the
works.
They are still scratching their
heads down at the Old Station and
don't seem to be able to get anywhere
in the investigation. The Limited goes
blithely on it's way back and forth
as if nothing had happened, and
gradually the excitement is dying
away. Perhaps time will drive away
thoughts of the incident, but it is
threatened that the guilty party vii

BUT THE STATION
Tzco Car Limited Heads for the Right Place
but Part of 1t Decides to Take Trip OF
Its Ozvn. No Casualties, but
Plenty of Comment
OFFICIALS FROM BROAD STREET BAFFLED
Plenty of Comment

The we'll known train which daily
phys between Newark and Delaware
City, taking in water, passengers, and
the latest news from other points on
it's journey across the flats of upper
Delaware, departed from the even
tenor of it's way last Saturday morn
ing and kicked up enough trouble to
keep the vicinity of the Old Station
talking and scratching their heads
for many a day. Before going further
it is stated that no casualties were
suffered by anyone concerned, al
though it was said that many tenn
pers were sadly ruffled. Here's how
it all happened.
1t seems that the morning train
last Saturday had arrived in the gen.
eral vicinity of Newark and waited
it's chance to enter the precincts of
the station. Now due to several good
reasons, this train does not come
boldly head-on to its resting place,
but rather manouvers around the
yards to the north of the station and
when ready to pull in-lo she backs
in. All hands were waiting patiently
for the arrivals. The station truck
was primed for the baggage and even
the bus drivers perked up a bit at
the majestic sight. But something
happened right then and there.
Just as the train was nearing the
station, she parted square amidships
and one section was seen to veer off
on another track. Now no self-re-
specting train will do such an act
under ordinary circumstances, but it's

DEF AWARE CITY TALKS
OF NEW SCHOOL
Superintendent Shilling Urged
Community to Bring
Matter Before
Assemblymen

Superintendent of High Schools
John Shilling, of Dover, spoke last
night before the Delaware City Com
munity Welfare Association before
large audience.
During the course of his speech,
Mr.. Shilling impressed upon the par
ents and teachers present the need OF
a new High School in that town.
> Since the standard of the school has
been raised from a three-year High
to four-year, and the attendance has
leaped from 96 to almost 13O pupils,
the congested conditions have not al
lowed the proper attention to be given
to every pupil as it should be given.
Several ways of financing a new
school building project were sug-
gested, but whether or not any OF
these can be carried out will depend
on what action the Legislature takes.
Harry Heal, president of the High
School Athletic Association, made an
appeal for financial support for the
association.
1t was decided to postpone the COM
munity supper and next monthly
meeting until after the holidays. 1t
was also decided to send a Christmas
box to the Home for Feeble-Minded at
Stockley. Anything suitable for chill
dren up to the ages of lS years IN
the nature of clothing, games, etc.,
will be acceptable.
In keeping with the educational
week program, the following named
pupils of the school gave four-mlnute
talks: Mildren Netsch, Charles Rose
