Incendiaries operating in Kent coun-
ty and in portions of Sussex as well,
it is believed, added another fire to
their list early Monday. The proper
ty damaged was the new home of
Fred t. Herbert at Wyoming. En-
trance was gained to the new building
through a rear window On the kitch-
en- floor heavy oil was poured and
match applied. The fire burned the
fcor f the kitchen and The smoke
from the flames blackentd the walls
of every room in the house except one.
Because there was no draft to fan the
flames the house did not burn. But
the damage from the fire will amount
to at least $500. The attempt to burn
the building was not discovered until
this morning, when carpenters went
to the house to do some finishing work
and found the kitchen floor burned
out. The case was reported at once
and State and county authorities are
seeking a clue. Since fires stopped at
Hartly a number of fires in other
parts of the county have occurred and
people are becoming alarmed.

DELAWARE STATE ROADS To Be
MODEL FOR THE WHOLE NATION
so DECLARES LIEUT.. GOV. AN
DERSON TO CHESTER MOTORIST
State Has Already Spent S21, 900, 900
and Plan is To Have Improved
Roads by Every Farmers Door

Before a meeting of the Chester,
Pa, Automobile Club Thursday night,
Lieut.. Governor James Hall Anderson,
of Dover, the chief speaker at the
banquet, outlined plans for Delaware
State Highways, that he PREDICTS will
make our road system model for the
nation. His plan is so interesting
and far reaching that all Delawareans
are interested to know what the
future may have in store The Lieu
tenant Governors plan is to improve
60 per cent of Delaware's roads $50
that every farmer may have an i'm
proved stretch of road leading past
his door," he said, lies in use of the
excess revenue amounting to approx
mately $150,000 annually derived from
the present license and gasoline tax
Delaware, he said, is able through
this license and gasoline tax to con-
struct, maintain, improve and extend
its present road system and have
S150,000 over each year. In ten years
this amount will grow to S1,500,OOO,
or more than enough to improve 1000
miles of secondary roads with Stag.
Only Surface Scratched in Delaware
He pointed out that although Eve
in Delaware are proud of our improv-
ed roads," that only the surface had
been scratched as yet. Out of total
of $500 road mileage in Delaware, he
said, only a little more than l per
cent, or between five and six hundred
miles had been improved. This condi-
tion, he aid, is not only local to Del
aware, but to the entire nation. Here
he brought out the Importance Of road
communication in keeping with all
other modern advancements in COM
munication as a means Of furthering
the desired brotherhood of the coun-
try. He complimented the Chester
Country Club upon its showing and
for the work sponsored by it for the
improvement of the Chester county
roads, stressing the interdependence
of Delaware and Chester county and
the need for both to make progress in
road building. As long as two-thirds
of the farmers Of this country still
live on diret roads, the Lieutenant
Governor said, we in this country
could never truly boast of improved
roads. "He opened his address bystat-
ing that ideas We're responsible for
some Of the greatest progress the his
tory Of the world has known, citing
Columbus, Fulton, Mccormack,
Wright, Edison, Bell, Morse, Marconi
and others.
s21. 100000 Already Spent on Roads
'Good roads in Delaware are like
wise the result Of an idea" he said.
He then told Of Coleman dupont and
his early road building experience
while still poor and worker in the
coal mines of Kentucky. Mr. DUPONT,
he said, found that good roads pay.
Later, when he had become wealthy,
he hit upon the idea of the benefits
of good roads in Delaware, resulting
in his personal expenditure of $4,000
900. He said that since the forma-
ton of the State Highway Commits
sion in 1917, including the S4,000,0O0
given by Mr.. DUPONT, a total Of APP
proximately S21,O0O,OOO has been
spent upon Delaware's roads. He
praised the engineers who built the
State road for Mr.. dupont and the
contractors and also the use Of con-
crete.
