The Citizens Gas Company is
laying new mains about two miles
south of Delmar, near Leonard's
Mill-pond. The mains have been
laid for a distance of one mile, be-
ginning south of the State Police
station and running north. The
pipe has been laid along the old
right-of-way over the dam, and
not over the new bridge. The
company supplies gas to Delmar,
Laurel, Blades and Seaford from
its Salisbury plant.
The Delmar Lions Club voted at
the last meeting to adopt as its
project for 1912 the Strengthening
of U. S. Route 13, thru the town, so
that it will meet the Delaware
State Highway from the north. At
present the roads enter State
street a quarter of a block apart,
making difficult for trucks hauling
mine props to make both turns.
The road could very easily be
Strengthened from Elizabeth street,
where there is a sharp curve, to
State street, which would require
only two blocks of relocation.
The State of Delaware would not
have to relocate its route, as it
runs perfectly straight for a mile
before entering State street.
