A well-known New-York architect in SPEAK
ing the other day OF the road book called
Fifty Miles Around New-York," said that when
he tried to it on a trip which he recently
made into an unknown part OF New-JeTsey
he became disguised because there was nothing
on the route maps to indicate the points OF the
compass. When l look at map" said he.
zone thing l always want 10 know is which Is
north and which is south. 1t seems 10 me that
this is serious defect In the makeup OF what
is otherwise a handy and useful little book
This complaint was reported 10 Walter NJ.
Meserole. the chairman OF the Road Book Com
mittee, who edited all the maps in the book.
and he admitted that the point was fairly well
taken. although he said that, so far as he per-
sonay was concerned II would make no differ
ence whether the directions were given or not;
ard, anyway. he thought that man OF intel
| iEence ought TO be able 10 orient himself
without much trouble when studying map.
However" Mr.. Meserole went on II Is too late
| to remedy the matter as respects the books re-
| lating to New-York and Brooklyn. but
| going to put the north points the maps N
| the books covering the rest Of the State. The
| plan which these books are to be made is
somewhat different from that first determined
| on. The book FIFTY Miles Around New-York'
| covers the metropolitan riding district. going
up the Hudson as far as POughkeepse and out
| 70 Port Jerv!s and taking IN all OF Long Island
! and parts Of Connecticut and New-Jersey II
was proposed TO have similar books covering
| the regions around Albany and Troy, Syracuse.
| Rochester Buffalo and Bnghamton. But now
| we have decided 70 make book covering
| the eastern part Of the State. another for he
| central part and third for the western part.
| The first will cover the section from Pough-
| kcepse north to Rouses Point as far west as
| Little Falls. while on the east II will take In
| the Berkshire district in Massachusetts The
second will embrace the territory from Little
| Falls west 10 Seneca Lake. taking in tho cities
| Of Syracuse. Utica and Binghamton going down
| into Pennsylvania far as Scranton and on
the north extending to the Thousand Islands
| Potsdam and Malone. The Western New-York
| book will cover the part OF the State west Of
! Seneca Lake, including Buffalo and Rochester
| ! expect that these books will all be out in
the spring. for the greater part Of the work on
! Them has already been done. In addition to the
| detailed routes there will be maps Of the prin-
| opal cities similar to those given in the Around
| New-York book. showing the ridabe streets
and also the roads in the vicinity and their con-
dition; or course good deal OF work is in
volved in the preparation OF these road books
