While quite good progress
is being made in improving
the main lines of highway,
yet there are many miles of
rural roads in this country, a
large part of which are in un-
satisfactory condition. "The
time has come," comments the
Milford Chronicle, when a
more decided effort should be
made to improve these rural
roads. Municipalities and
counties should pay large
enough salaries to the men
who supervise these roads, so
that these people can afford to
give all the time necessary to
this work. 1t would be help

full to many of these men, If
they could take courses of
scientific training, givin G
them the latest ideas on road
construction, or at least work
for a brief time under very
competent engineers.
Many towns and counties
are wasting money by their
niggardly policy in paying
their road supervisors. It
does not pay to save a few dol
lars on such a mans salary, if
he is SO poorly paid that he
can't afford to give much time
and attention to his work.
Rural roads are a special
problem by themselves, and
each locality has a problem of
its own. The solution that
might be the best thing in one
county, might be inadequate
or impossible in some nearby
locality. The road authorities
of each state have commonly
worked out these problems
thoroughly, and can tell the
authorities in every locality
what should be done in their
case. The road supervisors
for each city and county can
usually handle the problem
adequately, if they are given
a decent amount of money,
and reasonably paid themselv-
es. Politics and favoritism
should be cut out in making
appointments as road build
ers. Poor rural roads are a
heavy handicap on the de-
velopment of a state, and we
should never rest satisfied in
Delaware until our country
roads have been much improv-
ed over their present condi-
ton.

behooves Town Council to CO.
operate in every reasonable
way to prevent unnecessary
noises and distortions as far
as Smyrna is concerned, from
interfering with good radio
reception. This means thor
ough repairing of all "arcs"
and 'leaks" on the pole line as
well as properly regulating
high voltage machines which
draw on Smyrna for current.
The radio has become a real
joy and pleasure to the home
life of the community and
Town Council can aid in bet
ter reception if they will see
that the pole line atleast is
tight and free from leaks.
Such an expert if called upon
could have the Eastern Shore
Public Service Company coop
crate with them which, no
doubt, they would do to the
fullest. Much complaint has
been had the past several
weeks over noises and in
references. This should not
be. Council can and should
lend their hearty and pains
taking cooperation to prevent
this complaint.

If Smyrna Town Council is
anxious to give real service to

fifteenth, the open season for
game shooting will begin.
That both resident and non
resident hunters may know in
advance the changes in our
laws since last season we call
attention to the provisions
adopted at the last session of
the Legislature. Ring neck
ed pheasant may not be hunt
ed, killed, taken or destroyed,
sold or offered for sale OF be
in possession of any person
until November Is, 1881. An
attempt is being made to in
troduce this bird as a game
bird in Delaware, hence the
two year closed season.
The fee for nonresident Ii
cense has been increased from
$1,000 to $3.50. Persons are
now permitted to kill wild
duck, wild geese, brant and
snipe on State lands during
the open season. Game birds
are reported to be more plen-
tiful than usual. If this is
true it is hoped that farmers
will show appreciation for this
by protecting them and not
permitting them to be unduly
depleted. They are great
friends of the farmer. 1t is
also hoped that the real
sportsmen will also show their
appreciation by not indulging
in unwarranted and cruel de-
struction. The true sports
man will keep in mind the
generosity of land owners in
permitting them to gun on
their lands and the need of
leaving ample for future prop
agation.
The worst enemy is the pot
hunter who cares neither for
the farmer nor the future
breeding but goes forth to de-
stroy even to the extreme of
determination. This class of
hunters are common enemies
and should be treated as such
by the farmers and the
sportsmen. The one should
not permit them to gun on
their lands at all and the other
should not hesitate to give in
formation to aid objecting
farmers and help game ward
ems execute the laws, espec-
tally the law limiting the
number that may be taken by
q person in any one day. This
is twenty ducks or twelve
birds or fowl Of other species.

ia. One of the many good
points about the Taxpayers
League is that it has carefully
investigated our financial and
taxation system and shown
the waste. 1t is, of course, a
serious matter. Why should
the cost of government be
twice as high in Delaware as
the average in other states? ?
One reason, it may be, is that
the State is smaller with a
smaller population. And the
State does so many things,
has so many avenues of eX-
pense.
