at the same point. Meanwhile, the old
bridge has been moved short dis
lance south for temporary use, making
a slight detour necessary. This is
plain during the day, but at night
caution is advised, especially by tour
lists making good time over the state
road between Syracuse and Utica.
Ashokan Reservoir Route.
The road along the north side Of
the Ashokan Reservoir, Immediately
west of Kingston, n. Y, is now in bet
ter shape than it has been since its
relocation to allow more room for the
great Catskill Mountain water supply
project. James F. Loughran, Of King
ston, Superintendent of Highways for
Ulster County, writes that there is now
no obstruction between Kingston and
Nos. 203 and 423 distance OF forty
six miles. This will greatly facilitate
travel from Catskill Mountain points
and west to the Hudson Rover, or New
England points through Kingston. But
the road on the south side Of the
Ashokan Reservoir-which in time will
enable the motor tourist TO make a
complete circuit of that great piece of
construction works not now open,
and probably will not be available un-
til the fall of 1915 or later.
Mohawk Trail" Easily Found.
Quite a number of tourists from New
York State and the West, planning a
trip from Albany or Troy to Central
or Eastern Massachusetts, by the new
Mohawk Trail may think that spe-
cial directions are necessary in enter
ing this route at North Adams. This
is not the case, but in travelling east
ward the start is exactly the same as
described in the blue Book" and
there are no forks or interesting roads
that the traveller would think of TAX
ing before reaching Charlemont, Mass.
Westward the new road leaves the old
line at a point IL miles west Of Charlie
mont Village, crossing a three arch
concrete bridge, then continuing over
railroad crossing at grade. Beyond
this railroad crossing there Is 8 per
cent grade for a distance Of about three
miles: then the new road bears right
across another concrete bridge, and
continues up 7 per cent grade for
about three miles, beyond which there
are lighter grades, with a final 7 per
cent down grade into North Adams.
The Mohawk Trail" is becoming very
popular, especially with tourists al
ready familiar with the Albany
Springfield Boston route.
Canandaigua Detour Eliminated.
The former detour entering Canaan
daigua from the east by Lake Street is
no longer necessary. Lake Street hav-
ing been completed, giving couple Of
miles Of brick roadway skirting the
end of Canandaigus Lake.

Reciprocity" Means
a Little Latitude

Charles Stewart, secretary Of the
ton, says tabs are being kept this
year on cars with Jersey licenses
crossing the ferries into New York
State. This Is retaliatory measure
adopted in consequence of the close
checking up Of all cars with New York
licenses crossing the ferries into
Jersey
New York motorists, who last year
crossed into Jersey more than fifteen
times, which is the limit Of the reci-
procity clause in the Jersey law, were
put 70 considerable annoyance by q
close checking up system.
When New York began to check up
on the Jersey motorists, these Ger
man-Jersey tactics were not carried
out so rigidly, and 1t is though: that
if the Jersey officials resume this busi-
ness during the present summer, New
York can probably put a stop 20 II by
holding up tourists from Jersey.
