Clothing Projects
Extension Program

Orono. Aug. H.-Fourteen coun-
ties and 2S2 communities leave three
or more clothing projects included
in their program of extension work.
Isl meetings have been held since
January l with total attendance of
0,271 persons.
"a good share of a farm woman's
time is spent in making, buying and
caring for the family's clothing"
said Edna NJ. Cobb, Clothing Spec
ialist of the Extension Service.
How to clothe that family in clothes
that are healthful, clothes that arc
easily constructed, yet appropriate
and pleasing to the eye, is one Of
her home problems and one which
the extension service is trying to
help her to solve. not as an end In
itself, but as a means to more
complete home life.
1.-The work open to all the women
of the state and is conducted on the
practical demonstration basis. Five
different projects of lives of activity
compromise the bulk of the work
and is roughly as follows.

EXTRA CENT TAX ON GASOLINE
WOULD BUILD so MILES OF ROAD
This Mileage But Half OF What Is Still Needed But Would Replace
Dirt Roads, In Many WeI-TraveIed Places, With
Concrete.

capacity loads are of two tons and
that all other capacity trucks be
charged a sliding scale accordingly.
These two suggestions would bring
in some revenue to the state but not
enough, it is believed, to suit the
farmers of Delaware who have look
ed with jealousy on other sections
obtaining concrete highways, while
they were still putting up with dirt
roads. They want good highways
connecting their towns and they, in
a measure, are entitled to good roads
as well as any one else.
Extra Cent on seas" Suggested
The suggestion has been put for
ward by some who give highways
considerable thought, that if an ex-
ira cent was placed on gasoline, that
this would aid materially. In other
words, place the tax at three cents
instead of two cents on gasoline and
use this money to build new roads.
Based at the present rate of about
$4,000 a month from a penny tax
on gasoline, or $4,000 at the present
rate of twO-cent tax, an additional
penny would bring in another $10,-
600 monthly to the state which could
used as the basis for another bond
Issue of upwards of a million dol
lars, which would result in between
40 and so more miles of highways
being built.
There is now pending requests for
u hnnf h11T 6ra6 og Ii S,-E,
ways for which there are no avail
able funds. If this extra one cent
gasoline tax was added it would
build almost half of these requested
roads and some of them are in a way
just as important as some that have
been built.
It is pointed out by those watch
ing highway problems, that the ad-
dition of the two-cent tax on gaso-
line has worked no hardships on mo-
torists, because about the time the
tax went into effect in Delaware the
oil companies began their fight for
trade and the numerous slashes in
the price of gasoline has caused the
price to fall so low that even with
the two-cent tax, the price today is
much lower than it was prior to the |
tax going into effect.
To those who fight good roads, the
of improved highways |
point to the fact that those who do |
not use the roads are not called upon
to pay for them. The licenses paid by
and the two-cent gasoline
tax defray the upkeep, sinking fund |
and interest, so that the man or wo-
man who does not own and drive a
car is not called upon to pay any ofI

Just how badly the motorists of
Delaware and the farmers want
more concrete highways, like the
ones they are at present enjoying,
and how they propose to pay for
them is likely to be one of the most
important questions the next Gen
eral Assembly of the state of Della
ware will have to consider. AS high
way finances stand now, when the
present work under construction and
planned for this year is completed,
the state will have bonds tOtalling
$7,700,000 outstanding. If the legisla-
ture decides it wants more highways
built, it will first have to decide how
the money to pay for them is to be
raised, and here arises the most inn
portant detail.
This year the State Highway Com
mission is receiving through the
two-cent tax on gasoline, an income
for highways of about $4,000
monthly. This sum with the fees re-
ceived from licensing of automobiles
is sufficient to maintain the high
ways and set aside the money need
ed each year to pay the interest on
the state bonds and also the money
necessary to retire portion of them
each year. According to the budget
for this year the State Highway
Commission will present a report to
the next legislature that will show
practically an even balance, great
attention having been paid to the fl
nancial end of the highway work, so
that there will be no over expendi-
ture of money.
Because of the careful way in
which c. D. Buck has directed the
building of the highways, the eX-
pense attached to the work as far as
overhead goes has been reduced to
minimum so that every penny is saw
ed there that is possible and much
more than many other states enjoy.
But there will be no other money for
more highways unless the legislature
authorizes a revenue to pay for them
and this revenue is usually obtained
from taxation of some kind.
Various Suggestions Offered
How do Delaware citizens want to
pay for their roads and who shall /
bear the burden of any additional
taxation, is the question the mem
bers of the Assembly will have to
decide.
1t has been suggested that the .
reciprocity clause between Delaware,
and Pennsylvania be abro-
gated and each state pay for what
it enjoys and uses. There is also the
that the minimum ca
pacity of trucks be placed at two
tons because a great majority of the
