Urges Winter Auto Roads.
bar Harbor Times J


II there has ever been any doubt as to the
necessity of an all-the- year automobile road
from Bar Harbor to Ellsworth, the experience
of the past week should have removed it.
With no steamer running from Rockland and
the Ferry steamer broken down and crippled
by the heavy ice, the whole of Mt. Desert is
land and adjacent islands have had to depend
on the bridge road for mail and supplies.
Supplies are getting dangerously low, and
at best it will take a week or so to clear up
the freight en- route to the island. Horses
ca ill be spared to haul freight from Ellis
worth. They are all needed to get out wood,
and horse is a slow team on a twenty mile
road What we need, and need badly, is a
good auto truck road from here to Ellsworth
and possibly to Bangor. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that such road can be main
tained even in a winter like the present
The auto-stage between here and Northeast
Harbor has run on schedule time, in spite of
the fact that we have had more snow this
winter than ever before.
1t is not an expensive process to prepare
snow roads for automobile travel, and /,
seems to us that this work should not longer
be delayed. l. is reasonable to suppose that
all of the towns on the island would cooper
ate in making a road to Ellsworth that oui
many auto trucks could run on, thus max
ing us independent of steamboats,.
