ment. During the same perio'
$547, ,961.45 an average of $20431 ;
mile, of which S22, 2,436.42 was TO
new equipment, was spent on thu
county system.
1t is probable, Mr.. Mack reports
that the greater portion of the 2,10t
miles of dirt roads in the county
system will be improved within &
few years. More than so creosoteC
timber bridges were built during the
year on the county system together
with Sc constructed last year.
The snowfall of the past year
thoroughly tested the snow removal
equipment. Mr.. Mack recommends
consideration be given to purchase
a power shovel for each county for
loading of sand gravel.
Roadside tree planting contracts
during the year, on the dupont
Highway resulted in contracts
amounting to $15,9S2.15, paid with
federal funds.

Mr.. Mack recommends four new
groins, one at Rehoboth Avenue, one
at Surf Avenue. one at the north
end of Deauville Beach, and
fourth about 500 feet farther north
ward THE most popular stretches
of the beach will be seriously dam
aged during the next two years un-
less this work is carried out" Mr..
Mack says The beach at Bethany
beach shows great improvement
since construction of groins there in
1885, the report says. The engineer
recommends construction of other
groins both north and south of those
now existing. and urges the General
Assembly to provide funds for four
additional grOins at Bethany Beach.
