From New York the route as II is expect
ed 1t will be continued will be via Tren-
ton. Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore
to Washington. Between New York and
Philadelphia the road is all macadamized
and with but little exertion the sandy
stretch between Elkton and Perryville,
Nd. could be put into shape and thus
connect Philadelphia and Baltimore with
another good stretch of macadam high
way. Between Baltimore and Washington
there is the famous boulevard, with the
exception OF about four miles OF rough
going between Contee and Beltsville,
which could also be whipped into a good
road at a small expense The matter of
these two bad stretches between Balti-
more and Philadelphia has been taken
up with State Engineer of Highways w.
w. Crosby of Maryland, with the hope
that assistance will be rendered by Mary
land in order to complete the interna-
tional highway as far south as Washing
ton.
The matter of southern roads between
the National Capital and Miami, the

meet Montreal, Canada, and Mi
anna, Fla. a distance of approx
mately $500 miles, with an in
ternational highway for motor
lists. The prediction Is confidently made
that this route between the north and
the south will be built inside Of the next
two years One of the important features
Of the proposition is that it will, in all
probability, pass through Washington
About four years ago the state of New
York provided for a bond issue of $50, O,O00,-
600 for use in building a system of good
roads throughout the state. The princi-
pal feature Of the plan was state trunk
highway system connecting the counties
Of the state by through. routes. Work
has been under way in every county OF
the state now for four years. the counties
and towns sharing in the expense OF
building all the improved roads except
the state trunk highway, which is being
built and Is to be maintained by the state.
This state trunk highway system is being
built in. sections. few miles being built
each year in each county. In 1910 the
state legislature appropriated $1.OW.OO0.
or rather provided that that amount
should be made available to .htild. all the
missing stretches between New York city
and Buffalo, SO as to make continuous
through road between these two cities.
This year the legislature made available
the sum Of $f,50O.OOO with which to i'm
prove the stretches of the state trunk
highway route still unimproved between
New York city and Rouses point. on the
Canadian boundary line on the west shore
of Lake Champlain, thus making a
through route from the Atlantic ocean to
the Canadian line.
Encouraged by the prospect of the build
ing of this road the Canadians organized
a committee and campaign was COM
menced to bring about the building Of
fine macadam road from the city of Mon
treal to Rouses point. n. Y, to connect
with the New York state road. thus max
ing continuous macadam road from New
York city, the metropolis of the United
States, to Montreal. the metropolis OF
Canada, making an International highway

object primarily the completion Of road
