good, for the greater part of the way.
Leaving Belgrade Lakes, the roads
improve steadily through Mercer.
Norridgewock and thence on through
the Rangeley region. In the Rangeley
and Dead River region are found the
finest roads in the entire State. Only
one really bad section of road was
found in the Rangeley district, and
this was between the town of Range
ley and Madrid. This road is actual
ly dangerous, being filled with holes
narrow, with many steep hills and
dangerous curves. 1t is one of the
most beautiful roads in the entire
State and one which should be fixed
up Immediately.
In the vicinity of Pennington the
roads were invariably good from
Skowhegan to Greenyile, via the new
route laid out by the Maine Automo-
bile Association Pathfinding tour
Excellent roads were encountered al
most all the way, and from Greenville
to Milo more good roads were en-
countered. From Milo TO Bangor the
road was fair, with some bad places
From Bangor to Ellsworth over the

There is some hard road between
Bridgton and Naples, but beginning
near Naples, an almost entirely new
road has been constructed across to
Poland Spring. This road will be in

Between Brunswick and R0ckland
the road was found to be surprisingly
good considering the bad reputation
which ii has always had, the only ex-

Waldoboro.
On the trip through upper Penobscot
and Aroostook counties, some very
bad road was found There is a sec

rebuilt at once. If this was done, this
important highway between Moose
head Lake and points along the Pisca-
taquis and upper Penobscot rivers
would be in good condition.
Beginning at Lincoln, the road
steadily grew worse, until beyond Mat

of mud holes into which the automo-
bile went nearly to its step. On the
old road to Patten, after leaving So.
Molunkus, the road is practically i'm
passible for several miles, or until
Benedicta is reached. Through Sher-

the roads were good, but as Houlton
was approached, they began to grow
poorer.

the present time. The roads on Mt.
Desert Island are found to be good,
or at least those roads now open to
automobiles.
Owing to the bad condition of the
main road between Ellsworth and
Bucksport, a new route was laid out
via Surry re-entering the old road
in the town of Orland This road is
good.
Crossing the river from Bucksport,
very poor piece of road was en-
countered from the ferry landing in
Prospect we'll into the town of
Stockton Springs. This is another
thoroughfare which calls for immedi-
ate work
Good roads were found through
Stockton Springs and Searsport into
Belfast, but from there on the beauti-
full shore drive through Northport and
Lincolnville to Camden was found to
be in very poor shape. The road is
full of holes, and badly in need of
rebuilding. From Camden and Rock
port to Rockland, there is a fine
boulevard one of the finest pieces of
road in the State. Leading out OF
Rockland toward ,Thomaston is an
other poor piece of road, but this, it
is understood, is to be rebuilt early
in the coming year. Through Warren
and Waldoboro, the road is fairly
good, and improves steadily over the
new route laid out by the Maine Auto
mobile Association Pathfinding car,
between Waldoboro and Waterville,
via Jefferson, Windsor, China, Vassal-
boro and Winslow

the road on the westerly side of the

better one, of the two highways, one
on either side of the river, between

gusta, Western Avenue is in excellent
condition, but by the time AIanchest-
er has been reached, the road is only
fair.
