WILL BUILD SHAWNEE
GREENWOOD HIGHWAY
Highway Department Ask For Bids
For Connecting Link

The State Highway Department is
advertising for bids for the con-
struction of the unfinished portion
of the Milford Greenwood road. The
advertisement which appears in this
issue of the Chronicle, asks for bids
on the section from Owens Station to
Shawnee, a distance of 500 miles.
Bids will be opened at Dover on
February 29th. The specifications
asks for bids on both concrete and
sand asphalt construction. This
connecting link Of highway is badly
needed by those who travel from
Milford to the western part of Sus-
sex county. At the present time au-
tomobilists who desire to reach
towns on the western side are COM
pelled to drive to either Harrington
or Georgetown if they desire to use
improved highways. When the road
on which bids are being asked is
completed it will greatly reduce the
distance between the eastern part OF
the county and the western high
way. It will also open up a large
territory Of farming land, the own
ers of which are greatly inconven-
fenced at the present time because
Of lack of road facilities.
