Boudinot dan road, motored to Madison last weekend to attend the football game. are roads leading to all parts of the of Hinsdale. latter state. From Cincinnati to Willamstown is a newly "nished road with one or. two grade separations of old macadam and which with these exceptions will be found a reasonably good road. Even the grade separations will not · cause ·trouble in wet weather. From Williamstown it is necessary to turn eastward to Falmouth over a seventeen-mile macadam highway that is somewhat worn, but from Falmouth south the motorist travels an old tarbound macadam road thTough Paris and Winchester and takes :· :ferry across the river into Richmond. It is natural that most people would be tempted to go from Paris to Lexington, but because of construction work south of Lexington it would be necessary to return from Lexington directly to Winchester, back onto the main highway, .thereby doubling the distance between Paris and Winchester. The construction work south of Lexington covers a stretch of three and one-half miles 'which will be impossible to negotiate at. the present time, because it is being ,graded so as to settle during the winter. NIUDeroua Detoura Here The Louisville-Nashville r<nJte wbjch S.y ;,\: F...._m Cake own as me west rnx e highway cannot be recommended for this year, because of numerous detours and bad stretches that cannot be put in good condition before some time next year. On the route that is mapped out for this year's travel there is just south of Berea a ~hree and one-half mile stretch of very .rough road at the present time, but this is now being improved and the worst s~tions of it will be somewhat eliminat~d before winter sets in. From the Castle Rock river there is a five and one-half mile project being surfaced with concrete, and about four miles of this should be completed some time early next year. At the present time the detour makes an extra mile and one-half When you get a good Thing to cover. From London to Corbin the entire distance is over a detour of dirt, but there Remember where you got it is every probability that the improve, ment of the main road will be finished this season. Between Corbin and Barbourville there is a vety bad stretch of 1129 Central Avenue ropd that is used as a detour while sev~ral thousands of dollars were lx>ing aptnt to grade and maintain the regular Wilmette route. The engineer announces that if the weather is favorable this will be 1a-:gely finished during the winter, but th·t it is probable the detour must be 'l.Md this season. · Part of the money t~t was raised in the north to improve .has road will be spent in maintaining the detour in as good a condition as possible. · 30 Mile· in Rouch From Chattanooga to Knoxville there is ~ approximately thirty-eight miles of pOOr road, but once Barbourville is ~sed nothiJtg is to be feared, because roads are good into Chattanooga by !f"!AY of Tazewell, Morristown, Knox;Yl¥e and Sweetwater.
