DILLMAN'S BIG YACHT
DELPHINE is BURNED
Craft Catches Fire in Hudson

Goes to Bottom.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 22.--The
seagoing yacht Delphine, owned by
Mrs. Hugh Dillman. formerly Mrs.
Horace +. Dodge of Detroit, today
is a burned hulk sunk in the Hud-
son River at the Ninty-sixth street
pier. The craft caught fire while at
anchor last night and fire boats
brought it near enough the pier for
fire engines to pour streams of water
into the smoldering bunkers. That,
with the water pumped by the fire
boats. soon sent the yacht to the
bottom.
All of the crew of "a were taken
ashore. Mr.. and Mrs. Dillman were
not on board.
The yacht was brought to New
York from the Great Lakes about a
month ago. 1t was clasSed as one OF
the finest yachts afloat and capable
of transatlantic service.

that, but while work on the county's federal aid
roads was being done by the state, the county
would, under provisions of the bill, retain its
motor license fees and these, with the regular
road levies, could be used in constructing and
maintaining farmers lateral, feeder and market
roads.
The one cent additional gasoline tax would
amount to about $3.50 year for the average
car owner, figuring that he drives 5000 miles
annually and obtains Is miles from a gallon of
gas On the other hand, it is estimated that i'm
proved roads would result in a saving to him. in
decreased gasoline consumption, lessened tire
wear, and lightened depreciation on his machine,
of at least $24 annually. So he, toO would be
ahead-by more than $50 a year.
Perhaps the most important fact connected with
Initiative Measure No. 81 is that it would take
from the counties the burden of building and
maintaining trunk highways and place it directly
and in just proportion upon the shoulders of
motorists. Under it's provisions, all who use the
roads would contribute-tourists, merchants, JOY
riders farmers-each in exact ratio to the benefit
he derived from the boon of better highways
