90-MILE MAINE HIGHWAY
WILL BE C. w. A. PROJECT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
AUGUSTA, Me, January 20.-A 90
mile scenic highway is planned as a
part of the c. w. A. program for Maine.
This road is to be through the heart
Of the great Northern Maine forest from
Ashland to Frontier Lake in the Pro-
vince Of Quebec. The preliminary sur
vey started this week end and is being
made by crew of 100 surveyors, having
three airplanes as a part of their equip
ment. 1t is estimated that 1t would
cost s2OOO,000 and require 18 months
to build furnishing employment for
1900 or more men.
This road would follow, in general
Vay, the old "Skeedadler" road, which
was an old lumberman's tote way made
famous In the Civil War days because
1t was made use of by draft dodgers in
escaping from Maine into Canada. 1t
would make accessible some OF the
finest hunting and fishing regions OF the
State, be a scenic highway which would
be unexcelled anywhere.
