special 10 me Evening journal.
LEwES, Feb. s.-A public meet
ing OF the citizens and taxpayers OF
Lewes and Rehoboth Hundred,
called by Mayor James 7. Thompson
TO advocate an improved road from
Lawes Beach to connect with the
Improved road at Beaver Dam. near
Harbeson, was held in the Town
Hall with about sixty men present.
IKE meeting was called to order by
Mayor Thompson, and William c..
Lofiand was made chairman and
William A. Russell secretary.
Mayor Thompson stated the main
road leading into Lewes being inn
passable. an Improved road was a
necessity. The need was further
augmented by the fact that the State
OF New Jersey was contemplating a
ferry service from Cape May TO con-
meet with the improved system Of
Delaware. The Improvement OF this
Link, he said, is a necessity to com
plete an interstate highway connect
ing TIE four States. New Jersey,
Delaware. Maryland and Virginia.
After this statement by the Mayor,
Chairman Lofiand opened the meet
ing for public discussion.
George e. Vickers protested the
condition Of roads leading into
Lewes and felt that this district
should have a larger proportion OF
its taxes used on its roads. He said
only about a mile and one-eighth OF
improved road had been built in the
Tenth Representative District and
none at all in Lewes and Rehoboth
Hundred. This was the feeling OF all
present, it developed during the dis
cussion.
Former Congressman Hiram r.
Burton offered the following reso-
luton, which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the sense of this
meeting is that a concrete road
should be built from Lewes Beach
out South street to Prettymans'
Corner Five Points. via the George
