ton Of the oyster shuckers and they
were fortunate to have quite a large
stock on hand, that they got in dur
ing the latter part of the past week.
The festival and oyster supper held
in the hall on Thursday of last week
under the management of the Ladies
Aid Society vas a grand success So
cially and financially. The net receipts
from the affair was SIG. The patrons,
or quite a number of them were so
well pleased and enjoyed the supper
so well that before departing insisted
on the management to hold another
one similar and left assurance that
they would be on hand to enjoy it.
The conclusions were that they would
hold another one sometime in Febru-
airy.

MILFORD NECK ROAD
ROUTES ARE DISCUSSED
Ccontin1ed from first page)

en-. These people, he says, will receive
identically the same service regard
less of which route is selected. He
further claims that the old road route
will be of greater benefit to the dis
trict than the Jenkins route because
of the fact that more properties are
served; they being properties which at
the present time have no access to an
improved road.
Fourth: Tonnage to be hauled-Mr.
DAVIS claims that in the immediate
section from Hering's Corner to the
du POnt Road, via the Jenkins route,
there is not ten tons of farm produce
grown where there is one hundred
tons along the old road from Clifton's
Corner to the Tub Mill.
Fifth: Property value-Through the
Jenkins and Bickel farms the value
of land is approximately $4,000
while along the old road it is $4,000.
SiXth-TO build the road via the
Jenkins route, Mr.. Davis says, adds
another road to the county with three
additional bridges, making seven over
the old Baptist Branch and its tribu-
taries from the du POnt Road to where
1t would strike the old road again. The
old road route, he claims takes away
the necessity Of adding another road
to be kept up and at the same time
gives an opportunity to vacate three
of the four bridges now in use. This
could be done, he suggests, by extend
ing the cross road from Forty-Four
School to the du Pont Road. By do
ing this, he says, that three bridges
and a portion of the present county
road could be vacated.
Seventh: Accessibility for doctors
The old route would lead to sixteen
families against one for the proposed
Jenkins route. This would give much
greater opportunity for quick service
IN the part of the physicians.
The Chronicle is publishing these
of Mr.. Davis not because
We agree with him; but in order that
lis ideas, which appear to be sound,
nay be presented to the people of
Milford Neck District. So far as The
Chronicle is concerned we have an
pen mind on the question. The i'm
ortant thing for the residents of the
istrict is to realize that unless they |
ct together now, they will be too late
D get an improved road this year. The
honey received from the bond issue
ill be spent soon, and Milford Neck
ill be out of luck unless they settle
heir differences now. II

discomfort to those persons who were
compelled to be out-of-doors. Monday

MOTOR TOURIST CAMPS
WOULD PAY THE STATE
$4,000 Additional In Gasoline Tax
Possible If Proper Sites Were
Offered Campers.

Fifty thousand dollars additional
income fo1 good roads could be Sc
cured each year by means of the tax
on gasoline alone if suitable camp
sites for motor tourists were proyid-
ed in desirable places in Delaware, is
the opinion of Secretary of state A.
! R. Benson.
During the past few years, since
automobiles have come into such ex-
cessive use, most states have estab-
lished tourist camps to accommodate
the many visitors who are just pass
ing through" This not only has been
a desirable accommodation for the mo-
tor tourists but has also proved the
source of a large revenue from gaso-
line ami other tourists necessities.
In this movement Delaware has
somewhat Jagged behind, and has Of
fered few inducements for tourists in
the way of camp sites. There arc
many beautiful spots in Delaware
that could easily be converted into
favorable camp sites, yet somehow
they have been left idle, leaving Del
aware unknown to many who would
otherwise have made her visit.
NNAASA IL DSAoOAA oNS55CSl0 Luelt II
would be good business on the part of
the State to establish a number of
desirable motor tourist camps.
Delaware has many beautiful and
historic attractions, and our roads are
among the best in the country, he
points out.
"There are many beautiful spots in
Delaware that could easily be con-
verified into camp sites. AS a SUCCESS
tion, would say that one might he
made at State Road, another near
Haven Lake at Milford, another per-
haps between Georgetown and Lewes. j
Rehoboth woods would make 4 very
good spot; so would Glendale Swamp
and at Camden camp excellent facili-
ties are already at hand. The requi-
sites for a tourists camp are trees,
toilet essentials and good water" says
Benson.
The $4,000 year estimated income !
to the State would be only n small
item in the money spent by motor '
tourists if suitable provisions were
made to induce them to stop in Della
ware. General Benson thinks.-Sun- {
