for general use in about 10 days. |
The dual highway between Black

Tybout's Corner, and single high
way from Tybout's Corner to st.

essary. The dual highway, the
new part of which was constructed
by the Old Line Construction Co.,
of Chestertown, forms one of the
finest and safest stretches of high
way in Delaware, long noted for
good roads. Already grass has
been planted and preparations are
under way for the planting of ad-
ditional trees along the new high
way to beautify the twin roads.
The only part of the dual highway

way crosses the railroad tracks,
and part of the resurfacing of the
bridge over the Delaware-Chesa-
