Highway Engineer Denies
Lack Of Funds III as
Curtailed Program.

Failure of the Federal Govern
ment to clarity the conditions under
which it is willing to appropriate
funds to Delaware for highway con-
struction has been largely respon-
sible for the almost total suspension
of road building in this State during
the summer, W. w. Mack, chief en-
gineer of the department, said re-
Gently. This suspension has not been
due in any way to the lack Of money
in the highway fund. he explained.
as it is adequate to meet the build
ing program that has been mapped
out with the aid of Federal grants
when they are available and at the
same time to supply the 100000 to
the general fund, which transfer
was authorized by act of the last
Legislature to meet a deficit in the
latter account.
It is understood the condition Of
the general fund may make 1t nee
essary for the State to ask for this
transfer together with an additional
100000 from the school fund which
also was authorized by the act of the
last General Assembly but this fund
also is ample to meet the loan when
it is called. Omcials Of the State
Highway Department are not con-
cerned over the possibility of the
call because under the provisions Of
the act only $150,000 can be borrow
ed every six months during the next
two years. There is no provision Of
the transfer Of the 100000 IN a
lump sum. The loan from the school
fund can be made e the rate Of
100000 every six months.
No Bond Issue Necessary
The money will be available
when wanted" Mr.. Mack said. ut
viii not be necessary for the depart
ment to issue bonds TO meet the loan
or to meet the running expenses Of
the department and besides this
would be impossible. The board has
no authority under the law to issue
bonds except for road building pur-
poses and this can be done without
Legislative act"
Mr.. Mack explained that one Of the
under which the govern
ment is planning to allocate money
to the State for highway work is
that 80 per cent of the men to be

Quoted a survey showing that

Beginning with September 1
the law provides that a pen

PAYING OF PLEDGES BY
INSTALLMENTS SUCCESS
Enables Average Man And Woman
To Give Fair Sum By Easy Stages


Promptly, on the first of Septem-
her, statements will be mailed to all
who pledged themselves to pay their
contributions on the installment
basis to the New Hospital Building
Fund. It will make the third quar-
terly payment-the first having been
March and the second June. This
method of paying ones mite to the
hospital fund has been pronounced
q huge success. 1t has enabled the
average man and woman to give a
fair sum by paying it in easy stages.
The opportunity is thus offered to
everyone to do his bit
It has been pointed out that when
installments are allowed to lag the
sum owed piles up, making it more
and more difficult for the donor to
pay. Therefore everyone is urged to
meet his installments when they be-
come due.
Il must also be remembered that
every dollar paid brings the day
when the new hospital will open its
doors just that much nearer.
