the balance of 50 per cent on the
Federal aid road system.
In this same bill provision is
made for additional Federal allot-
ments to the States for highway
work under this plan Delaware viii
receive $65O,0OO a year for each OF
the two fiscal years of 1886 and
1897. This allotment, however, is
to be made on a matching basis, in
other words Delaware will have to
provide a similar amount each year
in order to be able to claim the
Federal allotment. This, it is I'M
derstoOd will be done so that the
S1,300.0OO will come to this State.
There is a further provision in the
act to the effect that the State, if
it wants to qualify to receive the
$3.50. 900 a year for two years. must
not divert the gasoline tax or other
revenues now used for highway
construction to any other purpose.
II is understood Delaware will meet
this requirement.
The 1900 men employed on the
several highway projects Mr.. Mack
estimated will be continued on their
jobs throughout the summer and in
to the fall when there may be
slight reduction due to the compile
tion of much of the work and the
fact that other projects made pos
sible by the new Federal grants will
not be ready Immediately. However

fall belof 1000 men. and he said he
believes the additional grants will
make it possible for the Highway

the entire force steadily for the next
three years. always making allow

Bowers Beach is like a boom
town on a weekend, with nearly all
hotel and rooming facilities taken.
Among the fish caught in large
numbers are croakers, hard head.
sea trout, drum fish or channel bass,
king fish and porgies. In addition
large numbers of small shark, some
of them from four to five feet long
have been caught as well as moon
fish and small flying fish, the latter
beng thrown back as UNBEATABLE.
"Old timers" are enthusiastic
about the fishing this year, saying
that seldom If ever have they seen
fish running in large numbers OF
biting more readily.
Two and three hooks are regu-
larly used, and it is frequent to pull
in two and three fish at one time.
Fish can be caught usually az fast
as they can be pulled in, killed, the
line baited and thrown over again.
The success of people going to the
fishing resorts has resulted in many
persons. who previously derided the
sport. in taking to the boats with
hook and line and the word of the
way in which they fish are biting
has spread beyond the confines of
Delaware, with the result that there
has been an influx of visitors from
Pennsylvania. New Jer-
sey and even New York and Vir-
