The following letter written by Mr.. B
F. CARRIER. of Harrisonburg, Va. was
received by Mr.. H. F. Byrd, president
of the Valley Turnpike Company:
Il recently made trip to Atlantic
City from here and returned in nv car,
and it gives me pleasure to write you
that the road of which you are president
was the best 81 miles of road that we
went over while on the trip. There
might have been at several places stretch
es of six or eight miles that was as good;
but nowhere did we have 81 miles IN one
stretch that IN anyway compared to the
Valley turnpike.
The road certainly has been improved
wonderfully under your management
and / feel that saved more in wear and
tear on my car and tires than the amount
of the toll. not considering the pleasure
of riding over such an excellent road.
Hoping you will have lots of en-.
enlargement in finishing the work you
have so well started. remain,
Yours very truly,
''B. F. CARRIER"
