GOOD ROADS PIKE’S PEAK HIGHWAY OPEN Alignment Definitely Completed From Atlantic to Pacific—Last Link Has Been Forged. The Pike’s peak ocean to ocean highe way has definitely completed an inde- pendent alignment from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, says the New York Tribune. The last link in the chain was forged at San Francisco on July 80, when the national officers, in con- ference with representatives of various California routes, selected the Feath- er-River Sacramento Causeway routes and established the Pacific coast termi- nus at Oakland and San Francisco. With terminal on the Atlantic sea- ‘board both at New York city and Phile adelphia, the first prong passes through Newark and Morristown, N. J.; Easton and Allentown, Pa. joining with the Philadelphia prong at Reading, Pa, thence continuing westward along the ‘William Penn highway through Harris- burg, Tyrone, Altoona, to Pittsburgh; crossing Ohio through Steubenville, Coshocton, Newark, Columbus, Spring- field and Dayton; Indiana through Richmond, Indianapolis, Rockville ; Illi- nols through Decatur, Springfield, Jacksonville, Griggsville; Missourl through Hannibal, Macon, Chillicothe, St. Joseph ; Kansas through Hiawatha, Belleville, Norton, Colby, Goodland; Colorado through Burlington, Limon, Colorado Springs, Manitou, Hartsel, Buena Vista, Leadville, Glenwood Springs, Rifle, Meeker; Utah through Vernul, Duchesne, Heber City, Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Brigham, Lucin; Nevada via the Overland trail through' Elko, Winnemucea, Lovelock, Deno, and California through Portola, Quincy, Oroville, Marysville, Sacramen- to, Davis, Benicia, Martinez, Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. The completion of the western exten- slon of the highway followed an official inspection of the trip made by Presi- dent C. F. Adams, in accordance with the decision of the midsummer meet- ing held on top of Pike's peak, July 10-11, following a sociability tour from Chillicothe and St. Joseph. The re- ports made on the inspection trip indi- cate that less than 10 per cent of the 1,600 miles between Colorado Springs and San Francisco is in poor condition. The road follows streams, Is through Road Through Williams Canon, Near Manitou, Colo. inhabited territory with less desert or desolate country to cross than any othe er transcontinental route, and trav- erses some of the most wonderful sce- nic sections of the United States. Vis- its were made at each town en route, to create new enthusiasm for the route, confer regarding highway development and arrange for a more complete mark- ing system. The average running time was 19 miles per hour. An emphatic campaign is now being conducted to complete the marking of the Pike’s Peak trail from coast to coast. The national specifications re- quire red and white bands, each 10 Inches in width, at cross-roads, forks, and frequent intervals between, these to be painted on telephone poles, fence posts, trees or rocks. In addition, a striking marker design in red and white has been adopted, and 1,500 enameled steel signs, 14 by 20 inches in size, are to be placed on individuul posts at in- tervals of not more than five miles be- tween New York and San Francisco. Highways In Connecticut. The construction of cencrete highe ways is going on in 22 cities and towns In Connecticut, and when these con- tracts have been completed there will be about 70 miles of concrete surfaced payment in that state. The highways are 18 feet wide and cost $15,000 a mile. Good Roads Indispensable, The time has come when we must @onsider the roads an asset, indis- pensable to the well-being of the farm- er and his family. This being true, is it not every man’s duty to do all he .can to keep the roads in good condi- tion? Good Roads. More than $300,000,000 was spent on highway construction and maintenance in the United States in 1916.
