Line with a rating of so. From
Route 18 south the rating is over
80 to Dewey Beach! from Dewey
Beach to Indian River (6.3 miles)
the rating is 58; from Indian River
to Bethany Beach, approximately
90; from Bethany Beach to Fen
wick Island (5.2 miles) the rating
is so.
"A comparison of sufficiency rat
ings shows that 1877 miles of Route
IA are rated lower than any por-
ton of Route 113. Ratings below
20 for both highways occur on 3.15
miles of U. S. 113 and 12.7 miles
on Route IA.
Different traffic patterns occur
on the two routes in question.
Route IA, with the exception of the
area south of Rehoboth, has a
steady year round traffic flow gen.
Grated by the communities which
it serves, with an additional surge
during summer months of recrea-
tional travel to and from the

balanced year round flow, resulting
from the local service and inter-
state character of the route.

the 1858 average daily traffic over

lowing pattern: Between Milford

Highway Planning Division Recommends Dual Priority
To Route Il Over y S Route 113

Delaware Route IA, the Milford
Rehoboth-Fenwick Island Highway,
will be given priority over u. s.
Route 113 in dual highway con-
struction, if a report made. public
by the Planning Department of the
State Highway is accepted by the
State Highway Commission.
The report shows that Route Ia.
between Milford and Fenwick Is
land, carries an average volume of
4,028 vehicles a day, as compared
to 1889 vehicles a day over Route
113, between Milford and SeIby-
Vile. Moreover, the increase since
1850 has almost doubled over
Route IA, whereas Route 113 has
shown only a 500 increase over
most of it's length. The accompany
ing table shows the average daily
traffic load over various points on
the two routes.
Also, according to the report, the
number of accidents and fatalities
last year were greater on Route IA.
Ninety-three accidents, killing four
persons occurred on Route IA:
while Route 113 had 83 accidents
with one fatality.
The report makes a further point
that acquiring rights of way for
Route IA will probably be much
less than that of Route 113. The
figures given are $1,060,000 for
Route IA, as opposed to $2,70O,O
for acquisitions OF rights of way
on the west side Of the existing
Route 113.
The report states, in part:
"U. S. 113 from Selbyville to
Milford is constructed within the
original 200 #. right of way ac-
quired by Coleman DUPONT Road,
Inc, over 40 years ago. The two
lane roadway is constructed in the
center of this right of way from
Selbyville to Ellendale Forest, and
Offset to one side for the remain
ing 10.5 miles to the north, which
facilities eventual dualization. The
entire length 1854 miles consists
of hot mix pavement on concrete
base, % 1T. wide, with shoulders
$40 IT. wide on each side.
Horizontal and vertical align
ment is generally good throughout.
The adequacy of the highway can
be measured by "Sufficiency" Rat
ings. All Delaware highways are
periodically rated on the basis of
structural condition, and the safe
ty and service offered to highway
users. The best possible score is
100, and any rating over 20 is
generally considered adequate.
Ratings less than 20 indicate a
need for some form of improve
ments, and assist in assigning pri-
critics for construction. The suf-
ficiency rating of u. S. 113 aver
ages approximately 80 throughout,
with the exception of the section
between Road 334 and Millsboro
(rating 64 for 3.2 miles) and be-
tween Milford Limits and Route
36 (rating II for 10 miles).

of Milford is 41.9 miles, OF which

IA, the volume averages 4,028 We
hicles per day, with As miles as
low as 2,157 vehicles and "a miles
as high as 1922 vehicles per day.
"On most sections of Route IA,
the average daily traffic has almost
doubled since 1850; for example,
south of Milford, traffic has in
creased from 2,790 to $3.50, and
between Indian River. and Dewey
Beach, traffic has increased from
2,10O to 1876. The rate of growth
has been somewhat less north of
Five Points, and generally much
higher south of Indian River.
"By comparison, the biggest
ADT increases on U. s.. 113 have
been between Frankford- and
Dagsboro, from 1906 to 1898, and
between Frankford and Selbyville,
from 2.45O to 4,545. Farther north,
the traffic growth has been less
spectacular. The Georgetown area
and Milford area have shown ap-
proximately a 500 increase.

Soy Attitude Makes

LONDON, Feb. 7 (AP) the
Soviet Union said today that
Americas attitude on nuclear

to conclude an agreement on

The statement was issued by

The statement referred to
a declaration by the United

airy "a on new data concerning

This declaration, said the
Soviet statement, shows that
"the United States Government
continues to maintain on a

an attitude which makes it i'm
possible to conclude an agree

Negotiations for an East
