Boston to Bar Harbor
The Shore Route from Bo,ts. A.
Portland via Portsmouth has euis,,i
even more than its usual popul,I,,
ever since the beginning OF the ,sun,s
season, owing to its exceptionally r,si
condition all the way. II is, hovsr,,
not advisable TO continue alone a,
shore from Portland TO either Esrrr
or Bar Hsrbor, as there are one Or Ina
long detours on this road which an I,
ways in poor condition.
The preferable route is that vi, Lev.
iston. Augusta, Waterville and Barfs,
| The first few miles Of this route fr,-
I Portland TO Lewiston are no: in ven
good condition, but the balance 10 A.
gusta is all right. OF the two pos,ik,
roads between Augusta and WateriH,
! that which runs along the west bul
| of the river is preferable 70 the W
| following the east bank, as the la.x
i, very rough throughout practically
entire length.
The general average Of roads irs
Wateryille to Bangor is now quite gc,:,
even though a long detour OF sbou, r
miles is required al Benton. and ~
other between Pittsheld and Newrs
Both of these detcurs are, however, il
good condition and need cause no %.
prehension.
| New York to Buffalo
The only detour in addition TO Tia,
previously described between Southf,t
ard Hartman, which occurs on he
trunk route from New York 10 Bins.
/ hamton, is one Of about four miles in
| length Just west OF Wur!sboro. This
is always in poor condition, but pssss-
, BILE. and once through il, the riotorlst
will encounter no more serious dlf.
! iiculty at any point between there and
Buffalo, following the route which
passes through Binghsmon, Elmita,
! Watkins and Geneva. 49,,
Although the direct road from MIG
dletown to Wurtsboro via Bloom'ng'
burg is almost finished, it cannot yen
used nv motorists. as the unhnlshs
section is located or the size Of "
mountain. and there is no suitaoisN
to get around the construction WORK
On the trunk route from ALBANY

are at least two detours required y
though neither Of them is serious W.
OF these occurs just west OF Une,' ~
