S2,4IO,0OO FOR ROAD WORK
This Amount in an Increase of
1890, 900 Over Previous Year

A larger State Highway pro-
gram, with much paving, will go
forward this yeal in Delaware, ac-
cording to an estimate prepared
for the American Road Builders
Association by the State Highway
Department, w. w. Mack, chief
engineer. The work of the 1881
program includes: Improved earth
roads, 5 miles; untreated gravel,
macadam and similar types, 20
miles: asphalt, concrete and brick,
rs miles; total, 100 miles. This is
80 miles more than was included
in the 1880 program. State High
way expenditures in Delaware for
1881 are estimated at S2,410,000, of
which S2,1OO,OOO is for construc-
ton and $4,000 is for mainten-
ance. This is S33O,OOO more than
was expended in 1880 and S287 900
more than in 1929 Delaware will
buy highway equipment for the
State Department amounting to
$4,000, as compared with $4,000
in 1880. New Castle County high
way expenditures will be around
81, 1,250,000. State highway mileage
was 813 at the end of 1880. There
were 1921 miles of county highway
at the end of 1929. Delaware
highways are supervised by an ex-
cellent State Highway Depart
ment," stated Charles Upham, en-
gineer-director of the American
Road Builders Association, "and
strong effort is being made to
speed up construction. The sue
cess of the 28th road builders an
nual convention and road show
held in st. Louis in January at
which road builders from all parts
of the country congregated is
vivid index of the public interest in
the improvement of roads and
streets.

 Only recently Waterbury was giv- en first place by special survey commissioner, who was anxious to prove to the world that Chicago was not half as bad as it has been paint ed in newspapers and magazines. Two murders here in February, &C., cording to the dispatch gave Water bury g lead in that particular branch of criminal classification.

the schemers. All were removed from that particular section of the jail and confined to the cooler which offered better facilities for reaching windows and an exit to the yard. Sometime Sunday the trio used the saws to advantage and succeeded in escaping from the cooler It was while they were working on the bars, which screened the window, they were discovered by guards. One of the smuggled saws was found on the floor of the jail.
 The three are now confined in sep arate cells and an investigation is being made to learn how the pris- oners managed to receive the imple- ments for their well planned get away.
 Guiglilemo and pal named D'Amico were identified by Rizk as the two young men who entered his place of business and at the point of a gun robbed him of $35, D'Am- ico, who abandoned his week-old bride, to surrender to the police, con- fessed his part in the hold-up. On information obtained from the young men the police recovered two guns, which had been concealed under a veranda on Cherry street.
 As far as the local police know D'Amico was involved in the scheme to break jail.

tion of interstate power activities.
 At this time he has in mind no legislation he could ask beyond the three or four. major items it is said authoritatively.
 His friends admit it is just as we'll he has no program, because they expect little but chaos from the coming session of congress. The republicans have a numerical major- ity of two in the house now, al- though the majority may be wiped congress convenes Tn December. The republican majority in the senate is ore.
 These figures mean actually that the administration is in a minority, because the western farm groups hold strength enough to defeat MT Hoover any time they choose to vote with the democrats.
 Since several westerners have in.. dicated they will join the democrats, 1t Is possible the present minority party will be able to organize both houses, establishing their leaders in posts of honor and authority. The administration is trying to save the house if possible. They are ready to offer the westerners "anything reasonable" in the way of rules re- vision, according to their spokesmen. They have given up hope of ever getting anything out of the senate even if they are successful in organ izing it, because the senate rules permit minority to block legisla- ton.
 Control of the house, however, means something to MT Hoover. It means a retention of the guiding hand over legislation. In the house, even if the rules are liberalized reasonably to suit the westerners, the leaders still hold the reins of power. They can defeat legislation and they cah pass legislation if they have their men in key positions --the speakership, the chairmanship cf the rules committee and the chairmanship of the committee on appropriations. If they lost the speakership and maintained their control of the other positions, they would not consider the battle lost,
 With these chaotic physical con- dltlons, there is also the psycholog- ical imminence of the 1892 presi- dential campaign to shatter any hopes that there will be peace and unity among the divergent factions. The republicans of administration will be working to present the best possible platform for reelection: the democrats naturally will share the antagonism of the western bloc o1 republicans against the existing republican regime.
 If both houses get through the session with no lives lost tile author- ities here will be satisfied.
