ON Problems Facing the Delaware
Government"
"The problem facing Delaware |
government is not a political one"
he continued. Delaware is more |
honest than the average state due |
to it's small size where everybody |
is acquainted. Once this state was
made up of three different societi-
es involving different classes of
people and occupations. Now there
Is a change with new people
coming in bringing new industries.
To-day mapy parts for products
are made here and sent elsewhere.
More or less we don't have
finished product industry. AS
result people are getting broad
er view with expanded vision in
both our mechanical and chemical
industries. S ma III home-Owned
manufacturing plants are being
replaced by large companies.
"One out of every three res
idents has been an out-of-state
individual in the last Is years.
Consequently small communities
are losing their identities with the
expansion of surrounding areas.
