highways and road construction
are areas with which Mr.. Dupont

rather Developed Parkway
HIS father developed and gave
delaware the nucleus Of what is To-
day the DUPONT Parkway-and in
1922, the son succeeded his father
as member Of the Delaware High

Three years later, Mr.. Dupont
was elected chairman of the de-

the then Governor, Elbert N. Car

chairman)
1t was in the middle 193O's. that
Mr.. DUPONT began planning for the
construction of the Delaware Me-
mortal Bridge under the sponsor
snip Of the Delaware State High
way Department.
Up until then, there had been
several important but fruitless
Efforts to build a bridge as a pri-
rate undertaking but with bi-state /
md federal approval.
1t was the decision of the U. s.
supreme Court, fixing the boundary

While Mr.. DUPONT was not a
