WOULD HAVE SAVED MONEY
BY TAKING OUT LICENSES

James Dickerson, aged about seven
teen years, son of James Dickerson,
who recently had trouble with State
, and Federal officers, when they visited
his home near Milford, in search of a
still and illegal liquor, was arrested
by officer James Courtney on Sunday
night last, for driving an automobile
without a drivers license, for driving
an automobile with only one tag and
that of the 1923 issue, and for driving
a motor vehicle without lights.
The boy is an old offender - as to
lights and proper license to operate
an automobile. Usually the machine
passed over the back streets and find
ing a shaded or poorly lighted section,
the car was left standing until late
hours at night, in front of private
until the officers were
off duty in the traffic work. Esquire
gave the young man
hearing on Sunday evening and he
plead guilty to the charges. Esquire
fined him twenty-one dol
lars on the charge of driving without |
an operators license and driving a car
without 1924 license tags. The charge |
Of driving without proper lights,
which is a serious charge also, was |

MILFORD NECK ROAD
ROUTESARE DISCUSSED
B. F. Davis Advances Several Argu-
ments For Routes Which He
Thinks Should Be Chosen.
I'D ROAD ROUTE THE BEST
Land Values, Families To Be Served,
Tonnage Hauled, School Accessi-
bility, All Favor That Route.

A delegation of Milford Neck resi-
dents went before the Kent County
Levy Court at their regular meeting
Tuesday of last week and asked that
road be constructed this year from
Tub Mill to ThompsOnVille. At the
meeting the delegation appeared to be
thoroughly in accord for any route
which is chosen. The Levy Court pass
ed a resolution asking the State High
way Department to make a survey for
the proposed road. This does not mean
that the road will be built this year:
for it is certain that no construction
work will be started if the residents
of the Milford Neck district become
entangled in a snarl among them
selves as to the proper route to be
followed. What they must do is to set
tie among themselves the question of
routes desired.
Benjamin F. Davis, one of the larg-
est land owners in the district, and a
former member of the legislature has
advanced several sound arguments in
favor of the new road following along
the line of the old county road to the
Tub Mill; allowing for Strengthening
out the bad bends of course. In all Mr..
Davis has offered seven reasons for
this road. They follow:
First: Mail Delivery Following the |
proposed route from the Tub Mill by
way of the Jenkins farm to Hering's |
Corner there is but one mail delivery; |
while over the old road to Clifton's |
Corner there is sixteen.
Second: School cessibility-Over
the Jenkins route there is but one
family whose children would have the
benefit of the improved road On the
old road there are sixteen families to
be served. Mr.. Davis claims that for
school reasons the State Board of Ed
ucation assuredly would favor the old
road as against the Jenkins road.
Third: The most service to the most ,
the Jenkins route there
would be eleven farm properties be-
tween the du Pont Road, from the Tub
Mill to John Mills mail box, who :
would be benefited. Part of these pro- 4
perties already have access to the du
Pont Road The territory east of the
Jenkins route, however, contains six
.y-four properties which will use the
Did road route. Mr.. Davis claims that
t should be immaterial to the people

hat place, as to which route is chos- 6
