PLAIN STATEMENT AS TO
ROAD CONDITIONS
Geo. CObaugh Offers to Maintain Road
Near Glendale Free Of Charge.

There was published in recent is
sue of the Milford Chronicle, criti-
cism of the condition Of the county
roads in Sussex county, which seems
to have hit some one hard, for it has
drawn statements and charges by sew
eral individuals, of the supposed au-
thor, who they believed to be George
Cobaugh, of near Ellendale. Mr.. Co
baugh in a letter to the Chronicle this
week, hits straight out and demands
that those responsible for maintaining
the roads, who comprise the local road
overseer, the county engineer and the
Levy Court, attend to their duties and
see that the county work on roads is
performed properly by the overseers.
Mr.. Cobaugh makes some state
ments in his letter, which the county
officials can not afford to OVERLOOK
Here is what he says:
In regards to road work in the VI
cinity of Ellendale Swamp, got cred
it for an article printed recently IN
the Chronicle, but it is fact, that 1
did not know anything about the ar

AS to whom works the roads have
M interest, other than that they shall
do an honest days work, for the pay
received and give the people a square
deal. AS to whose teams work L have
no interest, other than that the teams
shall be capable of doing the work re-
quired of them. ,
would like to know, and demand
a clear statement, as to why the
bitches along the roads are not clean
cd ont at proper seasons in this COM
munity; or. at least put in similar
shane as are those nearer Ellendale?
