TO POST THE HIGHWAYS.

Following up the resolution passed at
the last regular monthly meeting of the
Automobile Club of Maryland, April II.
to thoroughly post with permanent road
signs the roads from Baltimore to the
Delaware line, enroute to Philadelphia, a
party Of four left the headquarters of the
Automobile Club Of Maryland last Satur-
day at a. m. to lay these roads off in
spite Of the steady rain of the two days
previous. They did this in order that they
might see the roads in their worst possible
condition. In the party was J. Schreyer,
Of New York, an expert in laying of
routes, and was one of the first the line
Of path6nding. He has covered some
$4,000 miles around the country, having
arrowed most of the Glidden tours. also
the national highway from New York to
Atlanta for the New York Herald, and
expects in few weeks to remeasure
some 1900 or Is, 900 miles of new roads
throughout the East. Asa r. Gardiner,
Jr.. chairman Of the Good Roads Com
mittee of the Automobile Club of Mary

thence proceeding to Perryville. The
road from Perryvile to Elkton, distance
Of r3 miles. consisted Of deep red clay and
in wet weather about eight miles per hour
is the maximum speed at which it would
be safe to go. On arriving at Elkton
they passed the courthouse on the left
and turned right shortly beyond to Glas-
gov thence to Newark. They took on
gasoline there, then made their way back
to Baltimore via Fair Hill, Rising Sun,
Conowingo, Kalmia and Belair. from
Belair down covering the same ground
travelled going. The return route is the
route that will eventually be established
between here and Philadelphia; as the
State Road Commission has done con-
siderable work on this route and is still
working. BY June it is anticipated that
the cutoff between Kalmia and Castleton
will be completed.
The lower road via Perryville and Elk
ton will be posted by the Automobile
Club Of Maryland within the next forty
five days. The contract for the lumber
and painting having already been let, and
the upper road will be posted just as soon
as the State Road Commission finishes the
cutoff mentioned above. The Delaware
Automobile Association has advised the
Automobile Club of Maryland that they
will have the roads posted on the lower
route from the Delaware line to the
Pennsylvania line within sixty days from
date, and both associations have written
the Philadelphia Automobile Association,
requesting them to thoroughly post the
roads from the Delaware line clear into
Philadelphia.
