It was_ proposed to erect markers every hundred yards, des- ignating it the Marine Route. It was also proposed to erect numer- ous camping grounds and many re- freshment and comfort stations along the route. 1 Sheridan Road has tive hundred :entranees to private residences. It has one hundred and fifty sharp curves and corners. Karly of the interactions are complicated with steep grades to ravines, where the view is obstructed by dense shrub- hery. This beautiful quiet residen- .tial district is no place for increas- ing through trniBe, freight car trucks with huge trailers or buses. As President William Sherman Bay of this Association has quoted, "the price of freedom is eternal vigil- ance.” If the beauty, safety and residential character ot this won.- derful North Shore is to be saved for the future, theproperty owners must be alive to the dangers.
