TO SAFEGUARD
ROAD SURFACE
Freezing of Subgrade Causes
Concrete Highway in Some
Places To Heave
MUST REDUCE LOADING

The axle loadings of trucks on
State Highways will be reduced
from $4,000 to 10000 pounds dur
ing the coming thawing period in
order to protect the road surfaces
from permanent injury. This an
nouncement was made by w. w.
Mack, Chief Engineer of the State
Highway Department today. Mr..
Mack stated that this action would
be taken on account of the freez-
ing of the subgrade to a depth of
more than a foot which has caused
the heaving of the concrete pave
ment in many places. When the
weather moderates the thaWing of
the subgrade will greatly reduce
its bearing power and permanent
damage will be caused unless load
ings are reduced. Highways Will
be posted in accordance with the
law during the period of restric-
ton The State Highway Depart
ment requests the cooperation of
truck owners that the highways
may be protected and the large in
vestment of the State conserved,
while the subgrade is in this un-
stable condition.

TOWN ELECTION
A QUIET AFFAIR
Only a Total of % Votes Cast

T. JEFFERSON, ASSESSOR

The annual town election which
took place Monday afternoon was
one of the quietest in several
years. Smyrna was digging itself
out of another snow storm and but
few people were out on the street.
Aside from this the nominations,
as reported in last weeks issue was
only for one ticket, the administra-
ton ticket, and as there was no
opposing ticket put up, many
thought it was not necessary to
wade thru the snow to cast their
ballot since the denominations
were equivalent to an election.
There was only total of 20 votes
-polled and not a scratched ticket.
John c.. Mannering and Davis H.
Bell each received % votes and
were reelected members of Town
Council for two more years. Henry
D. Boyer, Collector of Taxes and
Revenues, who for the past sever
al years has had to wage a battle
for reelection, had no opponents
to fight this year and won the full
number of votes (28) cast. Walter
w. Hynson was unanimously re-
elected Town Treasurer by the %
votes and Thomas Jefferson was
elected Town Assessor, receiving
the full % votes. Mr.. Jefferson
was the only new member on the
ticket. He was elected to succeed
the three assessors, w. j. Holland,
R. H. Denney and w. E. Matthews,
Jr., who served last year, the Town
Charter requiring the three when
a general assessment is made
every four years. Between times
only one assessor serves to assess
newly-built or remodeled proper
ties and to make changes in the
list as becomes necessary thru
death or change of ownership. The
Annual Election Monday afternoon
was in charge of Thomas H. Cow

RUSH FOR AUTO
DRIVERS CARDS
Dover Office Swamped With
Mail Orders on Account
of Snow Blocking Roads
NO EXTENSION OF TIME

With to-day the last day 1888
Drivers Licenses can be used and
with positively no extension of
time, the Dover Office is being
swamped with the mail applica-
tons and that all of them cannot
possibly be answered today and
that most of them will be delayed
until Saturday. This rush of mail
has been due largely to the fact
that down State roads are still
clogged with snow and the drivers
have been sending in their applica-
tons by mail instead of going
personally to Dover for them. No
extension of time will be granted,
1t was stated. and the use of 1893
licenses after today will be pro-
hibited and the ruling strictly en-
forced. The Office in Wilmington
was kept busy all day yesterday
Issuing licenses, but it is believed
II will be impossible to accommo-
date all the drivers who have fail
ed to apply for them today. How
ever, every effort will be made to
supply all those who go to the Of
fee today. With approximately
10000 automobile drivers in this
State, licenses have been issued
only to $4,000, despite the fact that
today is the last day on which the
1898 licenses will be effective. Of
ficials of the State Automobile De-
partment estimate there are about
lo,OoO drivers in Wilmington alone
Who have not secured licenses.
