The following write-up OF the an

be held at Milford Grange Hall next

Chronicle, as a news item for this
weeks issue. 1t is we'll composed
and well stated by the writer and is

Importance to the Grange, and IN

USE OF TRAFFIC STAG
Economy OF Cost And Regular Trail
ic Makes Better Highways

The asking of bids on eleven road
projects on October 3rd by the State
Highway Department. all of which
are to be of traffic bound surface
has aroused a multitude of questions
as to just what traffic bound sur
feet is and what is the reason for
so many OF the secondary roads be-
ing so constructed. TO which inquir-
les. W. W. Mack. State engineer. has
made this explanation.
Traffic bound surface is a we'll
graded dirt road on which Stag or
stone are spread and thus allowed
to stand for a year or two except
for frequent gradings until the final
application of tar is added as neces-
sity arises. There are several i'm
portant reasons for these kind of
roads being built. With two-thirds
of the farms of the state still on un-
improved roads, the laying of con-
crete ON these 270O miles OF highways
would cost approximately $54. .0O0. 900.

template, so that in order to bring
these farms into touch with main
highways within any reasonable

He Is Told By The State
Auditor.
LETTERS SENT STATE
D E p A r 4 M e " rs
Various Agencies Are Re
quested To Pare Their
Budgets.

Governor Buck is opposed to in
creased taxation of any sort to bali
ance the States budget, despite the
fact that the general fund is con-
fronted with an estimated deficit of
100000 at the close of the fiscal
year of June 80, 1885. He fayors
meetoing the situation through hold
ing down to a minimum the opef-
ating expenses of all State depart
ments and agencies.
These opinions were expressed by
Governor Buck in letters he has
sent to all State departments and
agencies, pointing out he has been
advised by the State Auditor that
owing to the loss of revenue from
charter fees, which dropped from
$2,693,O00, the peak in 1922 to
$204,000 last year, he estimated In
100000 deficit next June. ,, s.
Governor Buck asserted, IL would
be impossible for the next Legisla-
ture to appropriate funds for, the
operation of State departments and
agencies until a way has been
found to balance the budget. ITO
suppose that this is to be accom-
plished through increased taxation
would be erroneous he wrote.
"The people of our State do. not
want taxes of any sort increased.
and the administration is likewise
opposed to such policy
He pointed out the necessity OF
operating expenses being held to q
minifnuiis ssfd- urging all the S1efiAft-
ments and agencies at their hear
ings before the budget committee to
give consideration to the present
condition of the States finances,
land that, in the meantime, q sim

JOB INSURANCE
STUDY PLAN OF
GOVERNOR BUCK
Will Name Commission
To Consider Feasibility
AS State Project.
FINANACES PROBLEM
Next Legislature May Be
Asked To Consider Pro-
pOsal If Recommended.

Appointment of a special commits
sion to make a study of the feasi-
bility of Delaware adopting a plan
of unemployment insurance will be
made, possibly this week, by Gov
ernor C. Douglass Buck, he an
nounced Sunday night. It will be
the task of this commission to de-
termined whether such a plan
could be made operative in this
State and if so how II could be fl
nanced. 1t is probable legislation
relative to the subject will be sub
mitted to the General Assembly
when it meets in January.
Governor Buck said he considered
unemployment insurance a most im-
portant subject and a problem that
could be solved much better by a
group than by an individual. Be-
cause of this, he has decided to
name the special board which will
report back to him their findings
and whatever recommendations
they may deem necessary.
Finances Chief Problem
The Governor pointed out that
unemployment insurance is oper-
ating successfully in other States
and he expressed the belief it could
be made to work equally successful
in Delaware. When asked il he
favored such insurance he stated
he at least favored an effort to de-
termine whether 1t would be pos
sible to make 1t work here. To. this
end he is planning to appoint the
special commission to make the
survey.
The chief problem Of the board
will be the question of how such
a plan could be financed. How
many members win be on the COM
mission is not known but 1t is un-
derstood they will be selected from
all sections of the State with all
interested parties being given repre-
sentation.
Should the commission recon-
mend that unemployment insurance
be instituted here the legislation to
make It possible will be prepared
and submitted to the next assembly.
Such laws in existence in other
States will be studied and the Della
ware act probably based on the best
features of such statutes.
