DELAWARE CITY ROAD WORK
State Highway Department With
WPA Makes Needy Changes

Traffic conditions on the narrow
and winding state highway be-
tween Delaware City and Clark's S
Corner have been greatly improved
by widening the highway at two
of the main bends. The work has
just been completed as a State
Highway and WPA project and
will help greatly in cutting down
accidents on this stretch of high
way. The banks were cut back on
the southern side Of the road at
both curves to a distance of about
25 feet. The curves were rounded
gradually, after the banks had
been cut back, about IS feet in
length. The part of the road cut
back was then graded, covered
with crushed stone, and then COW
cred with fine stone and tar and
rolled with a steam-roller. There
is plenty of room for cars to make
the turn going in opposite direc-
tions now without much of a haz-
ard of striking anything. While
there are still several hazardous
points on this highway, the two
main risks have been practically
eliminated.

PLANS NEARLY READY

The new st. Georges bridge over
the Chesapeake and Delaware Can
al will have two 23-foot, 6-inch

Division, has recommended and the
department has approved that this
work proceed on the basis of pro-
viding for two 23-feet, 6-inch traf-
fic lanes separated by a one-foot
barrier together with a four-foot
sidewalk. 1t appears that these
provisions will meet all require
ments proposed in the letter from
Mr.. w. w. Mack, chief engineer

ment, which was forwarded tc

AVENGE CRIME
TEMPLEVILLE
Judge Owen Knots at EaStOn,
Nd, Sentences Kenton
and Sanchez
BOTH ARE TO HANG

The dastardly crime over at
Templeville, Md, when on Septem-
Der Sth last, Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Aiken were beaten and robbed,
was avenged Monday when Judge
Owen Knots sentenced Alvan Ken
ton and Thomas Sanchez, tried and
found guilty of the crime, to be
hanged. Though their victims did
not die, the two men who beat the
aged couple and attacked the wo-
man were sentenced to pay the full
penalty. Judge Owen Knots call
ed the crime of Alvan Kenton and
Thomas L. Sanchez almost with
out parallel in the state" He i'm
posed the death penalty, under
Maryland law, for the criminal as
sault on Mrs. Peter Aiken, 83. The
men were convicted in court of
forcing their way, September s
into the lonely Templeville home,
where the Aikens recently cele-
brated their Goth wedding anniver-
sary. "One Of you men," said
Judge Knots, in pronouncing sent
ence, received the hospitality of
this couple while working on the
roads recently. Then you invaded
the sanctity of their home by fore
ing entrance. First you overcame
the husband in most brutal and
cowardly assault, stripped him of
his money and other things. Not
content with the enormity Of your
offense, you beat the wife until she
had no strength to resist. I know
Of nothing worse than your deprav-
ity on this occasion. Just as sure
as there's a God in heaven, what
soever a man soweth that shall he
also reap. We exhort you to repent
and make your peace with God"
The court directed the Queen An
ne's county sheriff to deliver the
men to the penitentiary at Balti-
more, Md Gov. Herbert x.
O'Conor will set the execution date.
