in Washington.
Charles w. Hardesty, State Ma

he would go to Washington soon to
see that Delaware gets its fair share
OF the funds. Gerrish Gassaway,
manager Of the Chamber Of Com
merce, who was a member Of Gov
ernor Bucks Delaware Industrial
Recovery Survey Commission, said
that list of projects for work re-
lief in Delaware now exists and
could be made ready for submission

II probably will not be possible
to get the work under contract and
started until early summer. w. P.
Mack, chief engineer OF the State
Highway Department said.
A list of projects is now on
hand, but it will take some time
to receive detailed instructions
from Washington. actually draw up
the specifications. advertise for bids
and award contracts. Mr.. Mack
was unable to say how many men
will be afforded work under the
funds to be allotted, but he said
that with a less amount provided by
a Federal grant Of last year an av-
erage OF 400 men were employed
during practically the entire year.
I Mr. Mack said that while he had
no official notification Of the amount
that would be assigned to the Del
aware State Highway Department,
he understood that Delaware would
receive approximately S2.310,000 in
the form of direct grant for road
construction work and that in ad-
dition total of $663,OOO would pro-
bably be granted the State for grade |

CHARTER BUSINESS FAILS
ANY INCREASE in 1885

The charter business in the
1 Secretary of States Office for
the first three months of this
year shows little if any in-
crease over that of the past
year.
The number of charters fl
ed during January was 1873,
February, 181, and March 100.
The amount of revenue from
charters in January was SS.-
684.95; February, S7,497.68,
and March ,S9,OS4.79.
The amount of gasoline tax
paid the State Treasurer in
January was $97,770.1S; Feb.
ruarY, $76,960.9O and March,
S73,259.25.
The falling off of the reve-
nue. during February and
March is accounted for by the
fact that many owners of au-
tomObiles do not get their IL
censs until after March in or
der to take advantage of the
lower license rate.
Motor vehicle violation fines
paid in January totaled $4.-
212.50; February, S2,735 and
