Tunnel to Link Ireland
and Scotland Proposed

London.-While President Eamon
de Valera of the Irish Free State
continues his efforts to sever every
tie between Great Britain and Ire
land, Belfast engineer has an idea
for joining the neighbor islands by
q submarine tunnel.
The author of the scheme, Will
liam J. Stewart, represents South
Belfast In the British parliament.
He also is one of the heads of a
large engineering firm.
His idea is to run tunnel un-
der the narrowest part of the chan
mel separating southern Scotland
from Ireland, distance of about
Is or 16 miles.
1t is estimated that the cost of an
Anglo-Irish tunnel would be at least
100000, but supporters Of the
scheme argue that the money would
be quite as we'll used in providing
employment. On the other hand,
It is reported that the mention of
such a plan for providing a closer
link is arousing those stalwarts in
the Free State who agree with de
Valera that the Englishman's place
is on the far side of the Irish sea.

DOVER HAVING
BUILDING BOOM
New Homes and Business
Places, Park and Golf
Course Under Way
S5OO,OOO EXPENDITURE

Steady progress is being made on
the 100000 WPA park and golf
course project for the City of Do
ver. The project is now more than
one-third completed. When fin
ished it will provide park and a
nine-hole golf course on the east
ern side of Dover, extending from
Silver Lake to near the State
House, and on both sides of East
Loockerman Street. There are now
"a men, 76 of whom are from the
relief rolls or the equivalent, en-
ployed on the project which was
started last November. Work was
held up during the winter due to
severe weather. The federal gov
ernment has allotted S59,172 for
the project and the City of Dover
$6,619. The golf course and park
viii follow the course of the St.
Jones River and win include a
pond of more than 800 feet diam
where an unsightly dump was once
located. According to present
plans the first hole of the course
will be located near the State
House. Included in the program
is the removal of old tree trunks,
bushes, and weeds and planting of
shrubs, flowers, and grass in their
place. Approximately $4,000 has
been expended on the project so
far. The st. Jones Creek has been
widened as part of the work
Dirt excavated for the pond as
well as additional fill material con-
tributed has been used to raise the
level of low places and fill marshy
areas. When completed Dover will
have the beauty of Silver Lake on
the north and the new park ground
and golf course on the east along
the st. Jones River to the grounds
about the State House. In addi-
tion to this Dover is now in the
midst of the largest construction
program that it has witnessed in
the last decade. 1t is now esti-
mated that before the end of the
present summer that a total of al
most a half million dollars will have
been expended there in improve
ment and construction work. Bus
ines establishments are being re-
built or remodeled while in prac-
tically every residential section
new homes are being erected and
new and improved streets. During
the month of April, the Office of
City Manager L. D. Shank issued
building permits for new homes
with a total cost of forty thousand
dollars.

dication there would be a bumper
strawberry crop this year. Added
to increased acreage was the fact
that spring started out with a
period of abundant rain that rails
ed the farmers hopes. But the
rain was so heavy it left the
ground too wet to be worked at
once. Then on the heels of the
rain period came a week of con-
stant drying winds, which left the
ground too hard to be worked.
Mr.. Derrickson explained. This
was month ago. There has been
no rain since. The ground has
been getting harder and dryer.
Last night Mr.. Newton estimated
the crop had already been reduced
25 per cent, and if there is no rain
in the next 10 days he said the
crop would be cut in half. At
Bridgeville, where Mr.. Newton
lives, State Senator ]. Roy Can
non, an extensive farmer, also de-
scribed the situation as serious.
Last year Bridgeville shipped 500
cars of strawberries to the metro
politan markets. And 1t was esti-
mated this year that Bridgeville
would ship 700 cars. But this es-
innate has already been revised
downward to 400 cars Many
growers say they will be surprised
If Bridgeville can fill 300 cars.
Other crops also are suffering. but
not 50 greatly. These include
clover. timothy, rye and wheat.
