THINK ABOUT QUE HIGHWAYS

The report of Chief Engineer C.
D. Buck, of the State Highway De-
partment, is an interesting state
ment of the progress of Delaware in
road building and the benefits de-
rived from the policy of the depart
ment.
Much has been done in the past,
but there remains much to be done
in the future before we shall have
an entirely satisfactory system of
roads.
Chief Engineer Buck, therefore,
recommends an aggressive program
for highway Improvement during the
new year. It is a large subject
looked at from any angle. For in
stance, we have many splendid, good
highways, and we have miles of
others in various parts Of the State
which become almost impossible
during rainy or bad weather.
People owning property on these
bad roads, or living in such proper
ty, pay their taxes and are entitled
to, consideration. No doubt Mr.. Buck
has this in mind, and wishes to push
ahead. The State Highway Depart
ment, Of course. has nothing to do
with the bad roads in more or less
out of the way places to which we
have referred. -N
We think, however, it would be
we'll If the highway department we're
in charge of all the roads.
The report shows busy year for
the department, contracts having
been let for a total of S0.S miles, the
total cost being $2,55O,92S.S7. The tax
on gasoline has been a source Of
much revenue for the State, some
1858, 1912 being received since
April %, 1928, when the law became
operative. And this vast sum was
by the State Treasurer at
cost of only $50. That is "going
some" in efficiency. Another great
source Of revenue was the motor IL
censes, amounting to S600.960.
Milford chronicle., 1925-01-16

Thus the State receives a vast
sum for the maintenance of the de-
partment, and it is paid by the users
of the highway. How important this
department is may be judged by the
fact that the State has invested in
roads, including gifts, and .he like,
almost S19,000,000.
