which will reduce the distance of tne

ers of the project. Including Colonel Al
bert A. Pope of Boston and others, out
lined their plans at considerable length
and dwelt upon the benefit to be de
rived from the completion of the highway.
It was pointed out that fully 400 miles
of the projected route already has been

has been macadamised, and it la esti
mated that the other portion can be put
In good shape at, a cost. of about $5000 n

ways already in existence by new ones
to be built by the states, counties and

posed highway. Local organisations are
to be formed. Which, backed by the Na
