Several of those who spoke referred to the present tax levlad In Els-mere, which is 70' cents on the one hundred dollars of assessment. It was said that the main thoroughfare of that town, the Lincoln Highway. Is maintained by the Slate Highway Commission, whereas the two roads In the five suburbs, the Newport pike and the duPont road are not pwt of the State Highway project and the cost of their upkeep would cost considerable.
