All the motorists Will be glad to ex-
change the atmosphere of the city for
the more braeing air OF the Atlantic
seaboard, especially when this change
can be accomplished by travelling over

For the rur to Atlantic City, two
exits from New York are available;
one by using the Municipal Ferry from
the Battery to Staten Island, and run
png across the island to Tottenyille.
from which point the ferry must again
be taken to Perth Anboy; the other by
the Fortysecond Street Ferry to
Weehawken and thence southwark
through Newark, Elizabeth and Rnh-
way to Perth Amboy. The former
route has certain advantages that ap-
peal 70 nan- motorists, while the
longer Terry TIP across New York
Harbor and from Tottenviile TO Perth
Anboy are avoided on the latter.

road surface IS distinctly bad for a
short distance, the combined route.
