way Department uses in building
road, materials produced in the
State. A recent instance is noted by
w. w. Mack, Chief Engineer, in the
building of bridges in Sussex Ooun-
ty; especially the work done on the
Ocean Boulevard between RehObOth
and Bethany Beach. The piling used
for the bridges, 5000 feet Of polling
and 2,717 feet of timber, were cut i'm
Sussex county and taken to Newport
where creosote treatment was CIV
en-. Then 1852 feet of untreated tim
Der and 122,S35 feet of untreated
lumber were also used from Sussex
county forests, making a total of
235, ,304 feet of wood that was felled
and sawed in this county. The mon
ey paid out was spread among resi-
dents of the State during the job.
This is what is needed to keep all
money possible in Sussex for coun-
ty work.
