second stretch, often referred to
as the Annapolis bypass, was
completed late in 1854.
Planned Building Program
Expressway construction on
the Washington side of 301 was
not begun until the Annapolis
bypass and Revell highway link
was completed.
The State didn't have the
money to do both at the same
time, Mr.. Pritchett said. The
money for the expressway east
of 30l came from Gov. Lanes old
5000 million bodybuilding pro-
gram. The project west Of 30l
is being financed in the current
$500 million 12-year program.
In order to keep all areas of
the State satisfied by having
some construction work going on
virtually all Of the time, the
roads commission additionally
builds its roads in small chunks
"a 81 million contract here. a
Sis million contract there. etc.
The commission apparently feels
it has to do this in order to re-
ceive the kind Of political sup
port needed for the comprehen-
sive building program it has
undertaken.
1t almost goes without saying
then that voteless Washington
is at a disadvantage in this
build-by-bits program.
Interchange Deferred
/ The first section of the ex-
pressway on the Washington
side of 301--a AZ mile stretch 70
the Enterprise road overpass-
was completed in the fall OF
1855.
But that didn't help the Wash
ington motorist much, because,
although Enterprise road APP
pears TO be in much better shape
than Palmer highway. the roads
commission had decided not 70
build an interchange at the
point. This was the subject OF
considerable controversy, be-
cause residents Of the area
fought hard against this de-
cision.
Having decided against the
interchange. Mr.. Pritchett said
the commission could not very
well build a temporary entrance
and exit road at Enterprise road
'or use until the expressway
reached the Palmer. There is no
other interchange in the seven
and a half miles between 30l
and the Palmer highway.
Construction Of the three-mlle
stretch between Enterprise and
Palmer has been delayed By bad
weather and the fact that the
grading contractor didn't have
enough equipment on the Job
Mr.. Pritchett said.

Final Bulletin
For on Old Paper
By JACK JONAS

The Ulster County Gazette,
issue of January 4, 1900, seems
both rare and common.
1t is so rare that there are
only two known copies. One
of these is in the Library of
Congress. The other is owned
by the American Antiquarian
Society.
But reproductions of that
particular issue are so COM
mon that the Library of Con-
gress has issued a special
bulletin telling how to iden-
tify an original from the
reproductions, should another
original copy happen to turn
up.
The library put out the
special bulletin when inquiries
about that particular news
paper reached 100 a year. 1t
took too much time to answer
each inquiry individually.
That particular date of the
Ulster County Gazette, men,
toned here last Tuesday, con-
tanned a description of the
funeral of George Washing
ton. 1t was published at
Kingston, New York, by
Samuel Freer and Son.
The item about the Gazette
brought response from collat-

roads program-the period be-

But as the 12-year program

to a switch which put the Palmer
project in the first four years
and moved scheduled dual-lane
