FREDERICK CAUSEWAY
ROAD OPEN TO PUBLIC
[COnfinurd from FrM Pagtl

re-lettered: guard rail posts are be-
ing painted a clean white and the
headwalls are receiving the annual
whitewashing. Since last season
the road to RehObOth Beach and
been widened as far as Milford, the
dual highway is rapidly being laid
down the State and the motOrist
this summer will find better riding
and more safety than last year. The
cleaning also includes spraying of
the rose bushes along the highway.
replanting trees and bushes and
when completed will make Della
ware roads spic and span for the
summer travel
Notices went out this week from
the State Treasurer's Office to ev-
cry person known to be operating a
gasoline station that the annual Ii
cense fee must he renewed by the
middle of June. Attention Is called
to the fact that motor fuels cannot
he sold unless the license has been
secured and is properly posted in
the filling station by June 80, and
that because of that fact the appli-
cation should be made at least If
teen days before the time limit. The
law makes no provision for notifi-
cation and the letters going out are
only courtesy rendered the deal
ers by the State Treasurer and the
fact that no notice has not been re- !
ceived will not be any excuse for
not taking cut the license which I
cost $500 FOR the year. Motor fuel /
who import motor fuel |
into the State or cause it to he inn
ported are also required to renew
their licenses at the same time.

the attention of Senator McIntire

This bill known as Senate Bill No.

for this reason it is of no value.
