Tollgates Beyond Westminster.

Westminster, 636 miles from the Ma

Bearing to the right from Main street
into Pennsylvania avenue we came TO
our first tollgate at 64.S miles, where
a charge of 20 cents was made to cover
the next seven miles, practically cents

made in the direction of improving the
roads beyond Westminster, which have

smoothed over somewhat within the

we found road machinery resting up

work early Monday mnrnng. While
there has always been fairly good

heavy traffic of late Yeas has plainly
told on the macadam surface. so this
stretch is now undergoing much needed
repairs. With the exception of about
half a mile, where new metal has been
distributed over the roadway. all of the
work has been completed. At 40.3
miles a new concrete bridge is in the
course of construction, which is rap
idly drawing near the stage of com

Rigid observance of the safety
zone system will speed up traffic
and reduce accidents" says the

mobile Club.
The club was largely instru-
mental in bringing about trial
in Cleveland OF the Detroit plan
OF marking streets. and all mo-
torists will be urged to hold in
violate the safety zones marked
for pedestrians
'"The success of the entire sys-

unanimity with which the rules
are observed. and if pedestrians
will use the walks intended for
them and if motorists will do
their share there will be great
reduction in the number of acci-
dents and general expedition of
traffic"
