START WORK ON STATE ROADS
Highway Department Plans to Hurry
Completion of Delayed Work

The Highway Department got away
to fine start the past week in the
line of pouring cement for new roads
throughout the state. Between a mile
and a mile and a half was poured at
three points. Clarksville and Bridge
vile in Sussex county, and Blackbird
in New Castle county. With the ad-
jOurnment of the General Assembly,
the Highway Commission will now be
able to complete preparations made in
anticipation of the work for this year.
Last year the commission was able
to start highway construction on new
roads in March, but this year, be
cause the legislature did not decide
until the end of the session last week
what bond issues for new roads it
would approve, there was nothing the
department could do but wait. Con-
sequently, the department will be two
months late in starting its new work.
The Commission will have a meet
ing on April %, and at that time
some of the proposed roads approved
by the legislature on which the pre-
liminary engineering and surveys
have been completed will be prepared
for bids. The work will be expedited
as much as possible, and if there is
no repetition of the rainy weather of
last spring, the work may in a meas
ure be pushed ahead on a par with
last year by the middle of the summer
if there are no setbackS.
1t is not anticipated that there will
be any delays from non-receipt of
supplies or inability to obtain labor
two very important factors. There
are more contractors who are seeking
highway construction work in Della
ware than in previous years. This is
a healthy sign and forecasts low bids
for the work.

LIVELY DELEGATIONS BEGIN
APPEALS FOR CONCRETE ROADS
PASSAGE OF S5OO,OOO BOND IS
SUE IN KENT STIRS UP ACTIVITY
Kent County Will Build About Thirty
Miles of Road, 1t is Said-Upper
Kent County Seeks Roads

That the receiving of road delega-
tiOns will again occupy the attention
of the Kent County Levy Court for
several weeks, was demonstrated at
the regular weekly meeting on Tues
day when several delegations appear
ed. During the late winter months at
every session of the Levy Court
number of delegations would appear
with petitions requesting improved
roads in their sections of the County.
Among these was a delegation for
road from Smyrna to Woodland
Beach and another from Clayton to
Millington. Both of these projects
are endorsed by the Chamber of Com
merce, Smyrna.
In each case the Levy Court inform
ed the delegations that they could do
nothing unless the Legislature au-
thOrized the issuance of more road
bonds.
Authority for the County to issue
bonds for $500,00O was granted by the
Legislature and it is now expected
that the delegations will appear all
over again in the interest of roads for
their various sections of the County.
Under the State aid plan there will
probably be funds for the construc-
ton of about thirty miles of road in
this County. The Levy Court has on
file requests totaling between fifty
and sixty miles.
At Tuesdays session of the Levy
Court a delegation asked that the
road leading from Wyoming to Haz-
lettville, by way of the Kent County
AlmshOuse, be placed on the list of
improved roads this year. Among
those in the delegation included B. C.
Cubbage, Pennel Emerson and J. H.
Hudson. No action was taken.
The bond of W. S. Harris, constable
for the Ninth district, at Harrington,
was presented and approved.
The bond of John H. Bullock, re-
cent sheriff of Kent county, who was
elected a special constable two weeks
ago, was approved and accepted.
A resolution was presented and
adopted transferring $4,000 from the
Kent county highway improvement
bond sinking fund to the Kent county
state aid road bond sinking fund
Five hundred dollars was ordered
transferred from the general fund to
the road fund in the First and Sec
ond districts of the county.
A delegation composed of D. NJ
Wilson, Ed. Willim and R. E. Lewis,
asked that the road from the old
Kings Highway where it branches off
from the state highway at or near
the intersection of the Dover-LeipsiC
road to the Dover Water and Light
plant, a distance of one mile, be plac-
ed on the improved road list for this
year. No action was taken.
