river is now completed. This con-
struct1on work necessitated a detour
over very poor roads, considered dan
gerous by many. The opening of this
road permits the Cse of the popular
River road to Peekski11 which runs
through Harmon on Hudson and Blu
chanan; thence via Washington st.
into Peekski1L
To suggest return from Peekskill
is rather difficult in the many vari-
ants which are offered over good
state roads. A very good route is
to turn eastward at this point and
go to Yorktown. From this point
drop south to Yorktown Heights and
Croton lake and on down through
Kitchawan and Wildwood to Briarc1iff;
thence via the Saw Mill River. road,
East View, E1mford and Ards1ey
where turn is made to the Hudson
River road at Upper Dobbs Ferry.
At Elmsford an excellent nacadam
road runs down by way of Harris Cor
ners and Hartsdale; thence over the
White Plains road to Mamaroneck,
from which point it is possible to
reach either. the New RochelIe-G1en
Cove Ferry or the Rye-Sea Cliff Fer
ry to Long Island. This furnishes the
best available cutoff from the Tar
rytown-Nyack ferry to Long Island,
avoiding New York City and the con-
gested sections of lower Westchester.
A new overhead bridge has lately
been completed at Hartsda1e Station,
this avoids what was formerly a, very
dangerous grade crossing. All good
macadam road via. Fenimore avenue
and the old White Plains road leads
to Mamaroneck. In this city the new
brick pavement is a credit to the city
government and connects with a good
road to Rye-Sea Cliff Ferry.
From the connecting point of the
Boston Post Road in Mamaroneck the
road is good to New Rochelle, al
though it is being repaired one side
at time in short stretches, it fur
nishes no Inconvenience to traffic
whatsoever. There is a good road
leading from New Rochelle to the
Hudson Park Dock where the New
Roche11e-Glen Cove Ferry is located.
Pelham Parkway is now in excellent
condition to New York.
Frequently in the Fall and Winter
the tides fall below normal in Long
Island Sound. This shifting of cur
rents has formed a large sand bar at
the inside end of the Glen Cove break
water. It seems practically impossi-
BILE to keep this channel dredged out.
The Touring Department of The
Automobile Club of America advises
the motoring public that the boats of
the Sound Transit Company which
have formerly operated from New Ro-
chelle to Glen Cove, will from now on
operate between New Rochelle and
two hours from 900 in the morning
to 500 in the AFTERNOON. Returning
from Sea Cliff every two hours from
1000 a. m. to 6 p. m. This ferry
will operate all winter except when
the weather makes it impossible or
unsafe.
For some time past a quaratine
against dogs has been strictly enforc-
ed in Tarrytown. So actively in fact,
that the local authorities would not
permit a dog in the town without a
nuzzIe. Many dfsagreeab1e encoun-
tiers were experienced by motorists
who unawares drove into the town
with the household pet enjoying a
ride. The authorities insisted upon
the dogs being muzzled, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they were in private

firmly secured by a chain. Many
amusing encounters were enjoyed by
the local hun1orists when madame in
