SECTION DEVELOPING
Telephone Company Spend
ing $1,000 for Telephone
Plant Here

Approximately $1,000 is being spent
by the Diamond State Telephone Com
pany for building telephone lines
along the Dagsboro-C -Clarksville Road
between DagsbOro and Pine Neck and
for making telephone extensions to
Sandy Landing.
Since the recent completion of the
Dagsboro Clarksville Road through
this fine farming region, the entire
section has been developing, with a
consequent need for telephone service.
Although the situation at Sandy
Landing is pointing toward the de-
velopment of a summer colony there
rather than an all-the-year develop
ment such as is growing in the former
section, nevertheless the need for tele-
phone service during the summer
months is already being felt. The
Delaware Y. w. G. A. has already
established a summer camp along the
beautiful Indian River, and the de-
STABILITY of the section foB vacation
bungalows means that telephone serv'
ice will be required. The Telephone
Company is planning to have lines
connecting with this section before
next summer.
Enough wire will be placed in bOtI
sections to take care of anticipated
future growth. Groome Marcus, Con
struction Foreman for the Telephone
Company, is already at work on the
job along the Dagsboro Clarksville
Highway. About 25O poles will be
placed in both these operations tC

MORE LINES FOR
NEW TELEPHONES
Diamond State Company to
Place New Cable South
of Holly Oak

Plans are already under way by the
Diamond State Telephone Company
for installing a new cable carrying ad-
ditiOnal lines for telephones in the
residential section adjacent to the
Philadelphia Wilmington Pike, south
of Holly Oak.
This was the announcement of r.
L. Dodge, District Superintendent of
Plant for the Telephone Company.
The new cable will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
About 1900 miles of wire will be
placed. Construction work will be done
under the direction of Groome Mar
Gus. Most of the new wire will be in
underground cables.
The new lines will provide circuits
for growth in this rapidly developing
residential section. The work is to be
pushed to completion, so that the ad-
ditional lines will be available for use
as soon as possible.
During the last few years the region
in and around Holly Oak has been
rapidly expanding. Telephone engi-
neers are planning to have these new
installations in place in order to be
able to furnish facilities when they are
needed.

Local and toll telephone calls in Della

The opening of the schools and the
return of people from their summer
vacations are the chief factors that
caused the increase, explained Mr..
Christensen.

DU HONT HIGHWAY, NORTH OF DOVER,
AFTER POLE LINES WERE MOVED
Work has been in progress for some
time. Telephone service will not be
interrupted during the process. Ap-
proXimately 1900 poles are involved in
the "moves."
Up to the present time about 200
poles have been transferred from old
locations to new ones farther back
from the State Highways, and about
100 new poles have been placed.
The State Highway program covers
the entire State. Some of the recently
completed roads include the Middle
town to Townsend Road, the Dover-to-
Littlecreek Road, Milford Crossroads
to Limestone Road, Sharptown-to-
Laurel Road and the Bethany Beach
to o-Shelbyville Road. Work is now in
progress on the Milford to- Cedar Neck
Road.
The Middletown-to-T Townsend Road
work cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000 alone. Some of the poles had
to be moved ten feet and others as
much as thirty-fve feet.
In some places, individual poles
had to be lifted over a gulch or a
creek. A hole-digging and pole-plac-
ing machine was used in digging the
holes and setting the poles. This con.
siderably reduced the time and labor
element involved in the work. Foreman
W. E. Curtin, with a crew of telephone
construction men, was in charge.
When finally completed, the program
should give Delaware network Of
State roads that is not surpassed any
where. Banked roads at turns, smooth
macadam highways and the absence
of steep grades should create a sys
TEN of boulevards that will give Della
ware high place among the States
that make "good roads" a feature.

About $4,000 Being Spent for

The "better road construction pro-

State Highway Department is being
anticipated by the Diamond State

H. Baldwin, District Engineer here for
the Telephone Company.
. About $4,000 is being spent by the

moving pole lines back from the present
highways in different portions of the
State and for replacing old poles in
preparation for the wider State roads.

Austin American says today that there
is little prospect of an organized ef.
fort TO disfrancbise at the coming pri,
mary those Democrats who in 1924
bolted their party and voted for the
Republican nominee for governor. This
refutes reports circulated recently that
meeting Of the state executive com.
mittee would be called soon TO take
some action of this nature.
The American quotes Arthur A .
Edison. state Democratic chairman. IS
denying that such a meeting has been
called or is even under consideration.
He said he would issue n statement
on the subject within a few days.
1t is charged that 100000 Democrats
violated their party pledge in 1924,
voting for George c. Butte. the Re.
publican candidate, in preference to
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson, the
Democratic nominee.
