SUSSEX MAY GET
NEW TYPE ROAD
Engineers To, Experiment With Sand
asphalt System On Highways

Sand-asphalt roads for Sussex
county, construction of lateral dirt
roads for $1,000 a mile and prelimi-
nary work looking towards the con-
struction of two bridges over rail-
road crossings, one at Farnhurst
and another at Newport, are some of
the activities that will feature the
highway work for 1928, according to
c.. D. Buck, chief engineer of the
State Highway Department.
Concerning the sand-asphalt roads
in Sussex county, experiments made
in the past few years seem to indi-
cate they are a success. There are
several reasons. One is that the
sand of Sussex provides a suitable
filter and is most convenient and
the cost of transportation would be
eliminated. The natural climatic
conditions of Sussex county are also
in favor of these sand-asphalt roads
Two such roads have been bulIC IN
Sussex and have proven satisfactory.
Another reason is that the lower
cost as compared with concrete. And
because they would serve equally as
we'll as concrete in Sussex county II
is likely, providing the Highway
Commission approves, that more

DIR. J. P. LOFLAND
DIES OF APOPLEXY
Well Known Physician Had Been Ill
For Several Months.

Last Monday, November IA, 1927,
DR.. James Pemberton Lofand died
in the Milford Emergency Hospital
from stroke of appoplexy, which
followed an illness that had con-
tinued over several weeks. He was
in the Goth year of his age and the
funeral was held from his late resi-
dence in Milford, on Wednesday at
ternoon. He had been married twice
and leaves three children, two by
the first wife who was Miss Blema
NAPLES of Georgetown, and one
child by the last wife who was Miss
Polly Evans of Lewes. The two old
er children are Mrs. Mary Pyle of
Baltimore, and Douglas Lofand of
Georgetown. The other child is Miss
Betty Lofland who resided with her
father and is a student at the Mil
ford public schools. Doctor Lofiand
was the youngest son of DR.. Mark G.
LOfiand and one member of a fam
lily of five children, all Of whom are
now dead, with the exception OF
Mrs. Helen Hopkins, of Jersey City,
New Jersey. Doctor Lofand was a
man of genial disposition and made
friends easy. He lived in the home
where he was born, and always
showed a disposition to get his
pleasure from his fellow citizens of
his home town and state. DR.. Loft
land was a member of the Milford
Board of Health and also of the Am
erican Legion. He saw service over
seas during the World War. At one
time he was an officer in the Ma
tional Guard of Delaware. He grad
uated from Delaware College and
received his medical training at the
Medico-Chi in Philadelphia. He had
a wide circle of friends throughout
Delaware.
The funeral services were held at
his late residence. The Wilmington
Lodge of Elks, of which he was
member, held a service on Tuesday
evening in which the local members
of Kent and Sussex counties particl-
pated with a delegation headed by
Ex-Judge Cochran, of Wilmington.
Tho public services were held at
the home on Wednesday afternoon,
and they were attended by hundreds
of his many friends, who listened 10
Rev. Guy Hill deliver sermon, and
afterwards the burial service at the
grave.
The flowers sent were all beauti-
full. but the splendid floral piece
from his Brother Elks, was the
most striking.
A will, wrote just before he went
to France in 1917, was found in his
safe, and by it he left his estate to
his daughter by his last wife, who
for the present is with DR.. Miller
in wilmington, who was one OF his
close friends.

HUNTING SEASON
OPENS IN DELAWARE
Hundreds OF SpOrtsmen Took The
Field On Tuesday; Good Bags

The 1927 cunning season official
" opened in Delaware on Tuesday.
It will close December 31st at mid
night. The opening day found hum
dreds of gunners in the field with
their dogs and guns, looking for the
quail and rabbits which abound in
this State. Reports from gunners
who were out on Tuesday are to the
effect that both rabbits and birds are
plentiful, and that good bags OF
game were killed on the opening
day.. AS usual there was a steady
influx of gunners from Pennsylva-
mia and from Wilmington, who are
attracted to lower Delaware by the
fine shooting. This year the farm
ers very generally have posted their
farms against gunners. This was
brought about very largely because
of the actions of the irresponsible
persons who killed not only game
but poultry as well. Notwithstand-
ing this, however, the gunners were
able to find places in which to hunt
In Delaware the law allows each
hunter to kill six rabbits or IL birds
a day. Many of the men reported
that they had secured their bags
early. Rabbits were selling in Mil
ford Tuesday night at prices rang
ing from seveAty-five cents to $1.OC
per pair. Birds sold for thirty cents
each.
