Where the Roads Go
The Dixie Highway is a trans
state highway from the Straits of
Mackinac to Miami; two loops ex-
tended through Florida. the east
loop from Tallahassee to Jackson
vile and down the east coast to
Miami, the west loop from ITALIA
hassee through central Florida, cross
ing the state north of Lake Okecho-
bee
The old Spanish trail is another
Translate highway extending
around the Gulf. 1t ends in Tampa,
and is the first Translate highway
with a terminus on the west coast.
The road will extend over an all
Florida route from Pensacola to
Lake City to Dunnellon to Tampa.
The Tamiami trail is one of the
most important highways and a
great work, from an engineering
standpoint, than any other road in
the south. This road crosses the
state from Miami due west through
the Everglades to Marco, Lee coun-
ty, thence north to Tampa. Pledges
have been received guaranteeing the
construction of every foot. 1t will
be the most southerly highway in
the United States, with more tropical
and scenic beauty than any other
road.
The Paradise Loop takes in the
heart of Florida, Commencing al
Tallahassee, it covers the west coast
to Arcadia, then through centra
Florida and the cast coast at Jack
, sonville, completing the circuit by
traversing north Florida from Jack
, sonville to Tallahassee.

The growth of good roads in Flor
ida has been phenomenal in the past
few years. The state is now as well
covered with good roads as almost
any state in the Union, and better
than most of them. There are more
projects under way to connect up
good roads already built in Florida,
which will give us the best system
of good roads that any state can
boast.
With the roads already built and
those which will be built this year,
tourists can travel from any part OF
the state to any other part on good
roads all of the way.
The Central Florida Highway as
