OLD ALMSHOUSE
NEAR WYOMING
Renovated and Improved by
CCC Camp Boys To
Great Extent
DRAIN FARM DITCHES

The work done in the past few
months by the CCC boys on the
property Of Kent County Levy
Court, formerly occupied by the
County almshouse, in clearing
bitches on many farms, has proved
such a success that a meeting CT
landowners of Kent County is to
be called this week to get an ex-
preston as to the advisabil;ty Of
retaining the camp and the men
quartered there for additional work
throughout the county. The Levy
Court, realizing the good work
done by the directors of the camp,
including John A. Martin, educa-
tional advisor, and his assistants,
have allowed the corps Of nearly
one hundred men to make changes
on the grounds of the county farm
which has greatly added to the
value of the property and at the
same time has given work to
many who were unemployed. ora
of the brick buildings, formerly
used in housing inmates, was COM
pletely renovated and will be used
for several worthwhile projects
and athletic activities. On the
first floor the largest room has
been converted into a recreation
room where social activities can be
held. Two other rooms on the
first floor are designated as wood
working shop and storeroom. Three
rooms on the second floor have
been renovated, one for PWA Of
flee, another for wrestling room
and the other a boxing room. On
the third floor there are six rooms
designated for various craft and
hobby clubs. With many of the
boys in the camp; showing consiC
cradle skill for the different kinds
of wood, metal, and art craft, Di-
rector Martin feels that these ta,-
ents in the boys should be develop
ed. There is also a baseball diam
ond, tennis courts, ard horse shos
pitching grounds provided Care.
of all kinds as well as books fol
the library are being solicited by

RIVER TUBE
PROJECT TALK
U. S. Engineer Has Fixed on
April 29th For Hearing On
Proposed Tunnel
UNDER THE DELAWARE

Lieut.-Col. John C. H. Lee, u. S.
Engineer, Philadelphia, has desig-
mated Wednesday, April %, as the
day for the hearing on the propos-
ed vehicular tunnel under the Del
aware River, south Of Wilmington,
which would join Delaware and
New Jersey. The hearing on the
project, which it is estimated would
cost $1O,OOO,O 900, will be held at IL
o'clock in room 800, U. S. Customs
House, Second and Chestnut Sts.,
Philadelphia. The Wilmington
lDeepwater Tunnel Company has
made application for approval of
the project to the War Department
and the hearing will be on this ap-
plication. The tunnel would be
nearly one and one-half miles long.
Interested parties having objec-
tions to the granting of the permit
are notified to appear at this hear
ing and express their objections.
Colonel Lee in the notice sent out
said oral statements will be heard
but for accuracy and to save all
important arguments should be
presented in writing. They should
be sent to Colonel Lee before the
hearing or handed to him at the
opening of the hearing. The ends
of the tunnel would be located at
points on the New Jersey Shore
about 900 feet north of the wharf
of the DUPONT Company at Deep
water Point and about 500 feet up
stream from the wharf of the
Reading Company at Pigeon Point
on the Delaware side. Among the
sponsors of the project are: John
B. Simon, Philadelphia, president
of the company; former Senator H.
Rushing Leap, Salem, N. j., John
Meigs, former director of docks and
ferries for Philadelphia. 1t is es-
timated 5000 men would be en-
ployed for 80 months. If the per-
NIT is granted, private capital will
be used, the application says. The
plans call for a two lane tube with
the top 55 feet below the surface
of the water at mean low water.
The entrances to the tunnel, on
each side of the river, would be T.
740 feet apart, according to plans
submitted.
