POLITICS INTERFERES WITH KENT
COUNTY ROAD PROGRAM

The two Democratic members of the Kent
County Levy Court Commission, which is a ma
jOrity of a three membership body, are respon-
sble for the failure to build the concrete high
way from Dover to Little Creek. They have re-
fused to approve the route selected by the
State Highway Commission, which body is to
furnish half of the money necessary to con-
struct the road, and the engineering work nee
essary to locate, construct and finish the en-
tire work. This situation has existed ever since
early in the present year.
We are reliably informed that the members of
the State Highway Commission are willing to
take over the entire road from Dover to Little
Creek as a State Highway and build and main
tain the road as such; which would relieve the
Levy Court Commission and taxpayers of Kent
County of about five hundred dollars each year
for its maintenance, and in addition also, would
save Kent County taxpayers five per cent on the
cost of building the road from Dover to Little
Creek, which will approximate total of $685.
900.
The only proViso attached would be- that the
Levy Court of Kent County shall approve the
transfer of their half of the cost of building the
road from Dover to Little Creek, towards build
ing the already approved road from the Tub Mill,
two miles north of Milford, down through Mil
ford Neck to South Bowers. The State Highway
Commission would furnish the other half of the
cost of building this greatly needed road
through a rich farming district, which is now
isolated in winter and part of the
spring, when the rainy season prevails.
At meeting of the Kent Levy Court held in |
August Mr.. George Herring, member of that
'ody for the Third District which is composed
If the seventh eighth and tenth representative
districts, offered a resolution which would have
nabled the transfer of the money to build the
Iilford Neck project; but, both Mr.. Boyer and
Ir. Sheldrake absolutely refused to second his
lotion to bring about its adoption-for that rea-
on no action was taken.
This week at the weekly session of the Kent
evy Court Commissioners several persons in
crested in building the Milford Neck road were
resent. Mr.. Herring was ready to call up his
'rmer resolution, but Mr.. Sheldrake in their E
Milford chronicle., 1924-09-05

presence emphatically said that he would not
vote for or second the calling up for action of
fthe resolution. Mr. Boyer had previously gone
on record in the same alignment, so that seems
to leave the deadlock firmly fixed for the bal
ance of the present season at least.
Just why the two Democratic members of the
Kent County Levy Court Commission refuse to
permit the State Highway to build and pay for
a road from Dover to Little Creek. or permit
the money that would be freed to be used for
building that much more concrete road work in
district where all-the-year-around roads are
so badly needed, as they are in Milford Neck,
has not been made public
The same policy in this matter has been fol-
lowed by the Democratic writer's at Dover, who
act as purveyOrs of all news from Dover, which
for many years has existed. Very rarely is anv
political procedure by any county body or coufi-
ty official, who happens to be a member of the
Democratic party, wrote up even as a matter of
news, unless it is for glorifying the Democratic
party. For this reason, this domestic trouble
over new highway construction in Kent County
has been permitted to slumber in silence and
1t might have continued, except for the fact
that few small fry politicians have made false
statements about the action Of the members of /
the Kent County Levy Court Commission, as to
heir part in the transactions
In a news article in this paper, is a state
nent, which was secured from authentic sources
which will show just how the public, and the
,eOple of Milford District especially, are the
ictims. To please their own interests the work
# building a road is blocked for the people of
Outh-eastern Kent County, which would mean
luch to Bowers Beach and the future of those
'hO reside within ten OF twenty miles.

President Coolidge is reported to
have accepted recommendations of
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon TO
use his influence in bringing about a
revision along the lines of the Mel
Ion plan which was rejected by Con-
gress and the present law substitute
ed.
1t is apparent that plans of SEN
atOr COuzens, Republican, of Mich
igan, to investigate the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, Prohibition Unit,
will be held up until the elections.
1t was his original intention to force
his inquiry on the eve of the cleo
tions but other committee members
have found excuses to stay his hand
for a time, believing in this instance
at least. that procrastination will be
more effective politically than a
rOugh-shOd investigation.
