Forbid Deer
Hunting

AS the open season for hunting
deer approaches, a number of
farmers and land owners have
banded together to form a game
preserve in a large block of the
deer-hunting section in Milford
Neck.
This section extends along the
South Bowers and Pier Beach
Roads. 1t has excellent cover, and
is known as a habitat for deer.
The owners have not only posted
their lands, but have also extern
sively advertised the fact that hunt
ing is forbidden on these lands.
They claim that the open season
has reduced the deer in this Sec
tion, and they desire to maintain
a section where deer will not be-
come extinct.
The area involved extends from
the Delaware Bay to near Thomp-

The State Highway Depart

persons have been operating
in Wilmington and in other
areas of the state, represent
ing themselves as acting for
the Federal Government in
procuring rights-of-way for
proposed interstate highways.
Upon receiving this infor-
nation, r. A. Haber, chief
engineer of the Highway De-
partment, denied that any
such activities are now in
progress, pointing out that
neither federal nor state
highway officials are now pro-
curing rights-of-way for these
highways.
IF and when the right-of-
way is sought for the pro-
posed interstate highways,
the work will be done by
representatives of the State
Highway Department, Mr..
