RotarianS Hear
Former Head
OF Corrections

Robert G. Hackett, formerly
chairman of the Board of Cor
rections was the speaker at the
Smyrna Rotary Club on Thurs
day. He was the guest of Ro-
tartan James Everett. Mr.. Hack
EFT spoke on the needs of the
various correctional institutions
in the state. pointing out that
over 1000 persons are process
ed through Delaware's correc-
tional institutions in a years
time. The average daily popula-
ton in the various prisons is
$40 persons he said. Most sent
ences are not long, but some
offenders are chronic, and much
can be done to improve the sit
uation if citizens would only
take an active concern. Rotar-
ians present were reminded that
there would be Board of Re-
view of the Boy Scout Troop
which the local club sponsors
following the Rotary meeting
on April 5th. 1t is hoped that
many Rotarians will be present,
Nelson Everhart has also ar
ranged for tour of the Latex
Plant No. 3, in Dover, for the
Rotarians on April 18th, at s
p. m. Charles Pardee and Earle
Duncan of Dover were guests.

New Delaware
River Bridge
East of Here
To Be Studied

The Delaware Memorial Bridge
commission at its meeting Tues
day decided to go along with
New Jersey in a $4,000 study
of the feasibility of another
bridge across the Delaware,
from Woodland Beach to south
west of Bridgeton, N. ]. Gov
ernor Richard ]. Hughes of New
Jersey recently sent details of
his plans to Gov. Ebert N. Car
vel who turned them over to
the bridge commission for study.
The estimated cost figure for
the proposed bridge is $l00 mil
lion. The new bridge idea came
from Gov. Hughes when he was
campaigning for election. 1t was
thought then by some persons
that this was just campaign
talk. However, Gov. Hughes
has developed specifics as to
the location of the bridge, the
length, and the areas it would
serve. The attitude of the bridge
commission was that another
study of traffic will be useful,
one way or another. Eventual
ly, the proposed bridge will be-
come the responsibility of a BIZ
state authority already sanction
ed by the two states and now
awaiting final approval by Con-
gress. On the books for i'm
mediate planning is a twin
bridge alongside the present
Delaware Memorial Bridge.
