The Milford Chronicle,
Milford" Del. '""''' ''17 ~ ''''
To the Editor:
am impelled to write the follow
ing comments because of the recenl
interest the whole State is taking II
the Indian River Inlet area. l hope
YOU print them in the Milford Chron-
icle.
Just recently up State people have
become increasingly interested in
Sussex county. Down State people
are not surprised. They have al
ways suspected that once their
wealth of natural advantages was
discovered they would have to share
it with the rest of the world.
Even in the Seventeenth Century
this area was referred to as Para
disc" by an explorer in letter to
his native land.
Each year more people from other
sections have been finding their way
to Sussex county, particularly Re-
hoboth Beach. However, the area OF
sunny sand dunes and beach front
extending south of RehOboth re-
mained unknown to outsiders until
about five years ago, when the High
way Department constructed hard
surface road from RehOboth to Beth
any Beach. Until that time this area
was the happy hunting and fishing
ground of Sussex cOuntians alone,
and up State people wouldn't have
given so cents an acre for it.
With the opening of this road up
State people and others have dis
covered these dunes and found them
desirable. Apparently they claim
them as their own and have met to
determine how they can be develop
ed" to best advantage. The presence
of "squatters," people who like these
dunes and spent money erecting cot
tages there, is deplOred. There Is
talk of having them removed. A man
who developed a playground in New
York at a cost of 16 million dollars
is present at the meeting. 1t is stat
ed that a public playground could
be developed here. What would the
Hldn WuO Llduc IclcIChC " SNAiN
ing the lady" say to this scheme?
The area in question is owned by
the State. However. it lies in Sus-
sex county and has been used by
Sussex countians for generations.
The writer feels that it is only fit
ing that full consideration be given
the native population when disposi-
tion is made of this area.
Why wouldn't it be in order for
the State to sell locations to those
who have built or would build soon.
Let out of the State residents. buy
one 100 foot ocean front lot for
about 1000. Let Delaware residents
buy the same for about $250.OO, and
let Sussex county residents have a
500 rebate.
If ownership of locations could be
secured, a better class of buildings
would appear, because the builder
would then have something he could
call his own, whereas at present he
builds cheaply because he may be
forced to vacate.
Let those who are interested in
this area make their voices heard,
30 that those in authority can act
Very truly yours.

CIVIL SERVICE

Civil Service was described as
too slow" by Chairman Farley when
new thousands Of positions were to
be handed out in the public service.
Naturally, the political faVorites got
the jobs and they are still in-with
a heavy Civil Service blanket over
them, so they will stay in. Newly
appointed postmasters are being
comforted the same way.

Booming Market
For Motor Cars
Seen by Experts

DETROIT, Aug. %. CUP)-Ob-
servers of the motor industry today
predicted a booming market this
fall in the wake of anticipated radi-
cal changes in the 1899 automo-
bile.
Reports from the engineering
laboratories indicate that the new
models will have extreme "eye ap-
peal. Manufacturers are hoping
a radical different 1899 car will
serve as the sparkplug to lift the
industry out of recession.
Optimism prevails in the industry.
Thousands of workers, idle during
the summer slack period and the
annual change-over, have been
called back to work. Within an
other month the final assembly lines
at all plants are expected to be in
full swing.
Because the automobile is the
No. ! customer for raw materials
of the 48 states, A. H. Ward, presi-
dent of Wards automobile reports
predicted the industry would be the
pacemaker in leading the nation
out of the RECESSION.

of the prison, first said the men
had killed themselves. Later he
refused to comment on the reports
of DIR. Hersch and of other persons

others said that the bodies showed
signs of having been scalded, burn
ed, immersed, and beaten.
Judge Harry S. McDevitt, preSi-
dent of common pleas court, who
on Saturday at Mills, behest tried

9 the Breakfast clubhouse Similar
banquetS were held elsewhere in
the state. Coupled with his attack
on tax policies was a challenge of
Sen. William Gibbs McAdoo's rec
ord in the senate.
To inStill confidence into the
business structure of this nation,
and to re-eStablish the courage of
our people" he said. THE federal
government must: first, reduce the
tax load; second. stop bureaucratic
interference with business; third,
give concrete assurances of a sta
BILE national policy. encouraging
cooperation, not conflict, of labor
and capital"
Commissioner Riley charged that
Senator McAdoo was either silent
or absent from the senate during
the consideration of three major
California issues. He said McAdoo
did not make a peep of protest"
when the senate passed a resolution
expropriating California's billion
dollar tidelanG oil reserves. The
other two issues, Riley said, were
the unsuccessful fight to keep

HighwGys and Safety

A broad highway from Lake Itas-
ca in Northern Minnesota to New
Orleans along the west banks of the
Mississippi is planned by the Ma
tionai Resources Committee and the
National Park Service. Il would
supplement by 1000 miles the many
highways that already span the
country from east TO west, and those
on the. east coast which begin and
end at the northern borders OF
Maine and likewise begin and end
at the southern tip OF Florida: and
those which extend from the nor
thern border OF the State of Wash
ineton and skirt the west coast to
the Southern California line.
There is a distinct trend toward
wider highways in all parts OF the
country. with general preference for
those separated in the middle by
parkways that provide two way
lanes. They are known as dual high
ways.
Wider and better highways have
touring and travelling, and

cording to official reports. On this
class of highways it is easier TO OBJ
