Right OF Way Holds
Up Highway Work
CONTINUED from page one)

Continued from page one)
Route 13 to the Canterbury to Mil
ford highway, and County Road
$50 which extends from Road 1856,
where it turns south, to the Mil
ford to Canterbury Highway, at a
point south of Canterbury.
These two roads are a part of a
contract that is now in operation
for the Improvement of existing
dirt roads in that area of Kent
County. However at a recent meet
ing of the Department orders were
given to remove these roads from
that contract and from the program
because of the right of way diff
culties.
During the past two years the
Highway Department has either
constructed, or placed under con-
tract, about $50 miles of dirt road
for improvement, with 273 of this
mileage being handled during the
immediate previous fiscal years,
and any right of way needed for
the proper improvement of these
roads has always been provided by
the abuting land owners.
AS a matter of fact, Highway De-
partment engineers explain that it
was only through the granting of
this right of way, where needed,
that these improvements could be
made since there is no provision
in the dirt road improvement fund
operation for the purchase of right
of way.
Concerning the two dirt roads in
Kent County that have been re-
moved from the dirt road improve
ment program, R. A. Haber, Chief
Engineer of the Department, re-
ported there are seven land own
erS along these roads who refuse
to sign for the necessary right of
way as opposed to the twelve who
will"
In this case the percentage of
land owned by the seven is such
that it overcomes the majority of
actual land owners, consequently,
since the policy of the Department
is not to pay for right of way, these
two roads will not be built in this
years program.
Mr.. HaSer added that arrange
ments will be made with the CON
tractor on the project for the with
drawal of these two roads from
the work to be completed on the
project
This is the first time since the
Department has been en-
gagged in the program of dirt road
improvements that it has been
necessary to abandon a project be-
cause of the inability to procure
needed right of way for the i'm
prOvements.
