BUSH TRUCK FIRST
THROUGH TO NEWARK

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK, Feb. 2.-One OF the
large trucks OF the Bush Line. Of
Wilmington. broke trail on the Lin
coin Highway yesterday afternoon.
this being the first to get through
from Marhallton to Newark. since
last Saturday. Stitz' busses also re-
sumed their trips to and from VIII
mington. The Bush truck was
loaded with goods for local mer-
chants. After making some deliv-
cries the truck went down Depot
Road and got stalled near the Red
Mems Home. II was nearly an hour
before the driver got the truck out.
Large gangs Of men were at work
yesterday with shovels. opening up
the Telegraph Road and but for the
rain, would have started to work
on Depot Road, below the station
today.
Before the Bush truck came
through yesterday. gangs OF men
with shovels, had been at work for
three days trying to open up the
road. These men dug through huge
drifts OF snow, in some instances
the drifts being several hundred
yards long A roadway was dug
through just enough for the large
trucks to travel, with occasionally a
Icut-in or switch for use in case two
machines met. The walls OF snow
on either side was up to the tops Of
rhe busses when they went through
yesterday.
The heavy rain during the night
made the roads in many instances,
more treacherous and harder to
travel this morning than they were
yesterday. II is now feared that the
banks of snow on each side OF the
roadway, made through drifts on the
Lincoln Highway may cave in as a
result OF the rain and again block
traffic.
