One of the three key owners of the company was T. Coleman du Pont, a capable, energetic and ambitious man, who was also Buck's father-in-law. Du Pont had a vision of a superhighway running the length of Delaware, and the ambition, talent, and money to make it a reality. Construction began in 1917 and in that same year a new State Highway Department was established to oversee the work. Nevertheless, du Pont continued to pay the bills, amounting to $4 million by 1924. With his engineering education and family connections, Buck was assigned to work on the project, becoming Chief Engineer in 1921 and remaining in the role until 1929. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Governor_of_Delaware">Governor of Delaware</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=C._Douglass_Buck&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Governor of Delaware"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Buck was elected <a href="/wiki/List_of_governors_of_Delaware" title="List of governors of Delaware">Governor of Delaware</a> in 1928, defeating <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democrat</a> Charles M. Wharton. During this term the New York Stock Market crashed, signaling the beginning of the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression_in_the_United_States" title="Great Depression in the United States">Great Depression</a>. Fortunately, about the same time, <a href="/wiki/Alfred_I._du_Pont" title="Alfred I. du Pont">Alfred I. du Pont</a> had begun an effort to provide financial relief to those in the most need. Having failed to get such relief enacted by the <a href="/wiki/Delaware_General_Assembly" title="Delaware General Assembly">Delaware General Assembly</a>, on November 1, 1929, du Pont began mailing out personal checks of sixteen dollars to some eight hundred people. After spending some $350,000 of his own money, du Pont, appointed by Buck as chairman of the Old Age Welfare Commission, persuaded the General Assembly to take over the program in late 1930. As the economic situation continued to worsen, Buck called the General Assembly into session in November 1932 and also persuaded them to pass a $2 million emergency relief measure. </p><p>Buck was elected to a second term as governor in 1932, defeating Landreth L. Layton, the Democratic candidate, thereby becoming the first governor to be reelected under the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Delaware" title="Constitution of Delaware">Delaware Constitution of 1897</a>. In doing so he was one of only two Republican governors elected that year, while Delaware was one of only six states voting to reelect U.S. President <a href="/wiki/Herbert_Hoover" title="Herbert Hoover">Herbert Hoover</a>. In June 1932, Delaware became the seventh state to ratify the <a href="/wiki/Twenty-first_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution">21st Amendment</a> to the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Constitution" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Constitution">United States Constitution</a>, allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages. Governor Buck appointed State Tax Commissioner <a href="/wiki/Pierre_S._du_Pont" title="Pierre S. du Pont">Pierre S. du Pont</a> to head up a new State Liquor Commission to manage and tax newly available alcohol. </p><p>Buck continued to seek relief for the distressed state and in October 1933 called the <a href="/wiki/General_Assembly" class="mw-redirect" title="General Assembly">General Assembly</a> back into session to consider borrowing money from the Federal government. Once it was clear the General Assembly would never reach agreement on this measure, Buck took the unprecedented step of adjourning their session. Shortly thereafter teachers and state employees began taking reductions in their pay. In 1935 Buck had the State Highway Department assigned responsibility for the roads in the state that had formerly been maintained by the counties. </p><p><br /> </p> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" align="center"> <tbody><tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> <th colspan="12" style="background: #ccccff;"><b><a href="/wiki/Delaware_General_Assembly" title="Delaware General Assembly">Delaware General Assembly</a></b> <br /> <i>(sessions while Governor)</i> </th></tr> <tr> <th><b>Year</b> </th> <th><b>Assembly</b> </th> <th> </th> <th><b>Senate Majority</b> </th> <th><b>President<br /><i>pro tempore</i></b> </th> <th> </th> <th><b>House Majority</b> </th> <th><b>Speaker</b> </th></tr> <tr> <td>1929–1930 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Delaware_General_Assembly" title="Delaware General Assembly">105th</a> </td> <td> </td> <td style="background-color:#FFB6B6"><a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a> </td> <td style="background-color:#FFB6B6"><a href="/wiki/William_A._Simonton" title="William A.
