CITES REASONS WHY BELFAST HIGHWAY
SHOULD Be Immediately DEvEL0 PED

the so designated State Highways.
This amount was later augmented
by S10,000,000 and in September this
year the people of the State Will
pass upon the proposition to raise
some six millions more for the same
purpose.
When the commission was organ
lied about 1850 miles of highway
were laid out for construction and
maintenance by the State. The
highway from Augusta to Belfast,
designated as Route r. and now
marked as Highway 1O2, was includ-
ed as a part of this trunk line sys-
tenn.
To date about 100 miles of the
highways have been developed, leav-
ing some $50 miles to be improved.
While some part of most of the pro
posed highways have received at
tention, no work has been done. by
the State Highway Commission on
the Augusta-Belfast highway.
The speaker declared that the
people of the section lying between
the two cities have patiently await
ed the development of that project
for the past twelve years and feel
that start at least, should be MADE
upon that particular road immed-
lately. The. highway in question
serves directly eight cities and
towns, most of which are without
railroad, electric line or State high
way services.
other points made by the speaker
were that the Augusta-Belfast high
way is primarily a farm and market
road, serving first our own citizens
and tax payers. 1t is only two miles
further from Augusta to Bangor by
way of Belfast than via, Waterville
and Newport. A first class road over
the former route would relieve the
congested through traffic over, the
Waterville and Newport road, and
| consequently the expense of main
tenance and upkeep would be divid
1 ed between the two roads. The Au-
| gusta-Belfast route passes directly
| by six beautiful lakes. all of which
have summer cottages on their
| shores, the number of which would
be greatly increased with the i'm.
| provement of the highway. 1t con-
meets the Capital City of the State
directly with the beautiful Penob.
scot Bay region, and from a scenic
standpoint would open up section
far superior to that traversed by the
present trunk line to Bangor and
the east.
The construction of Highway 10c
would largely increase the value OF
the taxable property along the
| route and boost section which Is
| one of the finest and most fertile
farming areas in this section of the
| State. The several towns have al
| ready built long stretches of good
State aid road thus reducing the
number of miles to be built by the
State to make a continuously good
road.
Mr.. Thompson cited the recent
offers by generous citizens along the
way, of free stone, gravel and camp
sites and other assistance, showing
a public spirit that should be en-
couraged.
The speakers audience was intent
" interested in his remarks, and at
the conclusion of his brief address
indicated their anpreciation nv sin
cere applause. George R. Weber
spoke briefly of the opportunity for
business and Industrial expansion
which would be opened up nv the
construction of the Augusta Belfast
highway
