Tho road 20 Cambridge as outlined
in recent issues OF THE sun In accordance
4 with advices given by the bureau OF tours
/ OF the Automobile Club OF America does
/ not appear to be all that It should be, to
/ judge by letters from readers Of this
| paper Charles II. Phelan OF 100 William
street this city, offers a better way to
go from Providence to New London than
that suggested by the A. G. A. When
in Boston last Sunday I read in your
paper ono OF the routes which you sug-
gested to go to Cambridge to see the Yale
Harvard game" he writes. II refer to
the road between Providence. North
Providence, Westerly. Groion and New
London. l took this route home and
found that the road was extremely poor.
especially between Westerly and Groton.
Upon arriving in New London l mem
toned the poor condition OF the road to
the garage keeper and he informed me
that the new State road through Provi-
dence. Putnam and New London had been
opened within the last few days. but that
no one going from Providence seemed to
know this fact | understand that this
road liz in perfect condition and In view OF
this II seems a shame TO suggest the ad-
visibility OF going over the aforementioned
route"
Writing from 1876 Broadway, Bruce Eli
son takes exception TO the advice given
by the Automobile Club OF America as
10 the road to New Rochelle: Jerome
avenue between Fordham road and 167th
, street has been in such miserable condi-
ton all summer that il has been practi-
cally abandoned by automobilists This
section can be avoided by turning to the
, right at jerome avenue and 167th street,
where sharp hill must be assembled. At
, the top of this hill Is the Concourse. which
is closed south of this point. 1t is in
excellent condition, however from l67th
street to Fordham road.
, "FOrdham road Is we'll worth avoiding
FOR Its condition all summer has been
dsgraceful. II may he avoided by turn
ing to che right from the Concourse one
block south, tnat is lSSth street, and con-
tinuing on this street until the FIRST
turn TO the left after passing under he
elevated structure IN reached. Proceed
two blocks to Pelham avenue and then
turn to the right and go straight ahead.
Pelham Parkway and the Shore road TO
New Rochelle are In excellent condition,
unless something has happened to them
since last Tuesday night with the excep-
ton OF short stretch at the Pelham
golf grounds, which is badly ruttcd
II was unfortunate enough 10 have
to drive over the section OF the White
Plains road referred to by the Automobile
club a short time ago by proceeding
at about Ave miles an hour and picking
my way with the utmost caution I got
through with my springs intact and all the
members of my party still In the car. II
was surprise TO me that I did So II
il possible that this condition has been
remedied. but ] do not believe Il has
I'm my opinion. Pelham Parkway and
the Shore road afford the best route TO
New Rochelle"
Automobile dealers and garage men are
gratified by the understanding they have
that Governor Whitman intends to
do away with the office OF State Fire Mar
shall. Ordinances which they characterize
as oppressive. arbitrary and unreasonable,
put into effect without any consultation
with them. are what they ascribe to the /
State Marshal's office. These dealers and
garage men would not object either to the /
reorganization of the city Bureau OF Fire
Prevention
