cottages toward Cedar Beach neeuS
a top coating of tar and stone. We
understand that the Levy Court
agreed to do this work last year hut
failed. We hope they can zee their
way clear to complete this job at an
early date. When it is dry the dust
is something awful.
A later communication will tell
you more of the beach.
Levy Court
The writer wishes to congratulate
the Levy Court of Sussex County
and also Engineer Hill on some fine
roads which they are building in diff
ferent parts of the county.
The road from Glendale to
Slaughter Beach is in. fine cOndi-
ton and after being seraped a few
more times will be a road about as
good as dirt highway can be made.
The bitches on each side are an i'm
provement and will keep the roads
drained at all times. A coating OF
tar and stone would be vast i'm
prOvement.
We also noticed some other roads
in the necks which showed that they
had been greatly improved.
The old State road from Ellendale
TO Milford is in splendid condition
and speaks well for the OVerseers
having charge of this route.
1t has taken Sussex County Over
seers some time to find out the cor
rect way in building dirt roads. AS
these improvements have come
about under the direction of Engi-
neer Hill we will give him, as he
ought to have, due credit, for same

Hall. at Coolspring on June 4. The

continued until all are served. The
small price of IS cents Will De
charged. The proceeds will be equal
Nv divided between the fire compan-
les of Lewes, Rehoboth, Milton
Ceorgetown and Glendale. The peo-
rle desire in this way to show their
appreciation of the fine work which
the fire companies did at a forest
fire which happened i'll that section
a few weeks ago.
Firemen in the different towns
where the several companies are TO-
Gated will have on sale tickets which
should be sought eagerly and gave
to the people of CoOlsprinS a rous'
ing success with this supper.
News in General

dows and took the beef from the lc'
box inside. A part Of the beef was
