MILESOF PERMANENT ROADS.
SUGGESTS IS MILES MORE
AMONG new SUGGESTED ROUTES IS One
FROM TUB MILL TO SOUTH BOWERS
BEACH, A MUCH NEEDED ROAD.

At a meeting of the State Highway
Commission in Dover on Wednesday
of last week, action was taken upon
the suggested road building program
for Kent county. The forty-five miles
of road in Kent county which were
adopted by the Levy Court for build
ing by State-aid, and which were so
suggested to the Highway COmmiss-
: ion were approved. Among this lot
of roads is six miles of concrete road
way from Harrington to Milford. In
addition to the seven routes offered
by the Levy Court, the Highway Com
mission adopted eight other routes,
tOtaling approximately thirty-five
miles. If the additional proposals
made by the Highway Commission are
approved by the Levy Court, Kent
county will have a road building pro-
gram of eighty miles started this year.
1t will require probably two years
to complete all the work outlined.
Major Richard R. Kenney, the attOr
ney for the Kent County Levy Court,
has been retained by the Highway
Commission to proceed with the Sc
curing of the right of way for the
roads that are to be constructed.
In the resolution adopted by the
Highway Commission approving the
routes, the Chief Engineer of the High
way Department is instructed to pro-
ceed with the surveys and prepare
plans and specifications for the differ
ents routes and then advertise for bids
as soon as possible.
Of the fifteen routes approved,
plans and specifications are ready for
advertising on three of them namely,
Leipsic to CheswOld, Rising Sun to
Wyoming and FELTON, to Frederick.
When the proposed program is COM
pleted, the improved highways of this
State will touch the Maryland State
line at three points in Kent county,
namely, Marydel, Whitleysburg and
Burrsville.
The Highway Department will pro-
ceed with all speed towards the
awarding of the contracts so that the
work can be started. The work on
these roads will very materially help
in giving work to the unemployed in
this section.
The resolution adopted by the High
way Commission approving the routes.

Court Commission has adopted the

Should the Levy Court approve the
Tub Mill-Bowers road, this will give
the residents of Milford Neck a mod
ern concrete road, and an Opportun-
ty to reach the improved roads of the
State in all kinds of weather. This is
Ine of the most badly needed roads
IN the county. If the residents of
Milford Neck want a road, it is now
.ime for them to stop quibbling as to
Just where the road shall go, and do
| mans work for a road no matter
where it is located. This is the only
way in which it can be put across.
Squabble and lose the road; pull to-
gether and get it. You residents of /
Milford Neck have your opportunity.
