left Seneca and following the telephone
wires into Jamestown which is stu
ated on a good macadamized highway
which leads to Whites Ferry. The road
from Seneca to Jamestown is of the
ordinary country variety, and is in good
condition. There are no rough places,
and it is about four miles to where it
connects with the nnacadam road at
Jamestown.
Turning to the right at Jamestown, we
continued over the macadam highway to
Ounce Orchard. about two miles east of
Jamestown, This pike is beginning to
show the wear and tear of traffic and
preparations are now under way for re-
pairing the sections which are coming
through. The same road was followed to
Gaithersburg, which was reached after a
run of about four miles from Ounce Or
chard.
We entered Gaithersburg via Chestnut
street. and at its junction with Frederick
avenue. which runs through the center OF
the town. We turned sharply to the right
and headed In southerly direction for
Rockville and Washington. The road is
macadamized the entire distance and is a
delightful one at all times. Arriving at
Rockville, We came down over the new
road. which has just been completed and
is of the macadam type clear into the Ma
tional Capital. Motorists are advised,
however, that a motor cycle officer is con-
stantly on duty and the speed limit should
be observed at all times when on this
stretch OF road. especially on SUNDAYS.
This distance from Rockville to Wash
