ATLANTIC PACIFIC
Meade Globe-News:-

Meade Globe-News:-
The progress made in better roads
and marking highways, has increased
by leaps and bounds within the past
few years, and so plainly are the main
travelled highways now indicated, that
travellers can go from one coast 10
the other without having to ask the
way, or going mile farther than
necessary. At the present time num-
Der of these roads are marked dir
fectly thru Meade, the most impor
tant among them being, perhaps, the
Atlantic Pacific Highway.
At the present time an effort is be-
ing made to have this highway in
cluded in the Federal Aid System of
the various states thru which it pass
es. Until such time as this aid is Sc
cured, it will be the duty of each COM
munity on this highway, to share in
the expense of keeping the road up,
just the same as they have been do
| ing in the past, and when it is consid-
cred that the fact that we are on a
generally travelled road is taken into
consideration, that people from all
parts of the United States pass thru
Meade, routed both east and west, the
amount necessary to do our share
seems small. Some idea of the peo-
pie passing this way can be had by
examining the register at the auto
park. Some very complimentary
things are said of Meade.
A brief summary of what the At
lantic-Pacific Highway organization
has already done is given herewith:
Progress of the Atlantic Pacific
Highway to Date
/. Selected route and located the
Highway thru eight states.
2. Have all arrangements made to
locate routes in three additional states
8. Line has been marked between
Deming, New Mexico, and Paoh, Ind.
distance of 1900 miles.
a Practically all of the line has
been included in the various state
systems thru which it passes.
s. Road has received National re-
cognition and is shown by all leading
! road map companies.
6. Have prepared and circulated
thousands of maps of the line.
7. Have arranged for locating many
tourists camps and information
bureaus on the line.
8. Thru publicity have drawn a
great amount of travel over the
route.
8. Has organization working in
every state for future improvement
and maintenance of the line by hav-
ing the same located in State and Fed
!, eral aid systems.
Canadian bridge at Logan, New
Mexico,-It is hoped that the new
bridge over the Canadian river at
! Logan, New Mexico, will be open soon
after January LIST, 1922, for travel.
The opening of this bridge will re-
move the only handicap to easy travel
on 1000 miles of the line east of
Deming, New Mexico.
The 1921 Highway dues are now
, $3.50 year or S. for 80 members
, due for the city of Meade.
