Hundreds" Confuse
Newcomers To State

AS the current political cam
paign progresses, newcomers to
the First State" will possibly be
confused at times by the increas-
ingly frequent reference to hun
dreds", a somewhat unique Della

division, notes the Delaware State
Development Department.
In order that new Delawareans
and visitors may have a better un-
derstanding of the nature and ORR
gin of these subdivisions the state
information agency offers this ex-
planation:
Hundreds, as geographical or
political divisions, are assumed to
have resulted from an early Gus
tom of grouping approximately one
hundred families for purpose of
defense or for local administration.

Bill Roth Attack
Big State Debt

Delaware is living beyond its
means" was the charge hurled this
week by William v. Roth, Jr., Re-
publican candidate for lieutenant
governor.
Roth told the Milford branch of
the American Association of Uni
versity Women Monday evening Of
this week, When a state the size
of Delaware pays higher ratio
than the federal government simp-
ly to carry it's debts, something is
obviously wrong"
The candidate attributed "this
mountainous expense to carry our
debt" to .'such practices as paying
fees to attaches in the General As
sembly"
Roth explained, These fees are
graduated, with the lowest set at
500 a day, and these fees are paid
whether or. not the attache attends
on day-to-day basis. Many at
taches attend the sessions less
than so per. cent of the time"
