Three Contracts Ready for Bids
North Little Creek Road to be Built
Steel Bridge for RehObOth Beach
The State Highway Commission has
asked for bids on three contracts on
which work will be started as soon as
the weather permits, providing these
contracts are arranged for. They are
the north route of the road from Do
yer to Little Creek, "a distance of about
six miles; sidewalk at ClaymOnt,
distance of about half mile and for
the steel, concrete bridge to be erect
ed at the entrance to RehobOth Beach.
Surveys have been completed on all
of these stretches and all the prelim
mary engineering work finished.
Chief Engineer C. D. Buck plans to
hold the annual training school for
state policemen in April, so that the
men may become thoroughly conver-
SAINT with their duties by the time
summer arrives and they are needed.
While definite plans have not been de-
cided upon, it is said that the school
will be held at Dover and the men
put through a two or three weeks
course of intensive instruction.
Those who pass the preliminary
tests for troopers will be entered as
students in this school, The wedding
out process will be continued during
the term of the school, so that posi-
bly, out of a registration of fifty or
sixty men, the eligibles will be sifted
down to a score of men which is about
what are needed, Mr.. Buck believes.
Out of this score there are apt to be
two or three deficiencies before the
men start at work and if he obtains
fifteen to eighteen men by the first
of May, the chief engineer will be sat
isfied.
Owing to the promptness with which
the state highways were cleaned of
the snow during the recent storms
these highways have not suffered as
have the streets in Wilmington, from
excessive wear by automobiles driving
in ruts in the snow. So far as cur
sorry examinations go, the highways
are just as sound as though there haC
been no SNOW, and do not show any
special wear, anywhere.

Thursday and Friday No, this

Paramount production, ,"The City That

"Why the title?" you say. That's it!
How about trip to the Strand to see
just what it is that keeps "The City
That Never Sleeps" awake. The
story, an adoption of Mother O'Day"
by Leroy Scott, is one of mOther-love,

Garden of Weeds" adapted to the

mysterious "back-stage" and with the
adventures in love of a beautiful

for Betty, great triumph for Cruzt
