Large Sum re i 7 The total expenditure on the Lincoln Highway since 1913 is approximately ninety million dollars. That is what the p:eople of the United States are doing to perpetuate this fitting memorial to Abraham Lincoln. The investment in Lincoln Highway betterment by the years is as follows: This is only what is reported by State Highway Departments; it takes on account of what is spent on the 254 miles of city streets. For a complete figure add at least 50 per cent. The distance between New York and San Francisco by the Lincoln highway is 3142.6 miles. Between Fallon, Nevada and Sacramento, California, there are two routes of the Lincoln Highway. .The mileage figure given in- II )C dr roi tio mil a 0 ied ea iati MORE DAYS TO MAY 0 fell at the- - State IFaiir GiroTuunudls Under Supervision of Utah Racing Commission Eli ng- - Utah Agricultural and Racing Association, WILLIAM P.

This means truly surface tions; most of that shown as brick surfaced is really brick on a concrete base ; the same is true of much of the mileage shown as macadam, because many states put a bituminous surface as a top where there had originally been laid a too thin slab of concrete. miles are Only 41 miles of the unimproved; the total improved is 98.77 per cent of the whole. Present indications are that' the expenditures on this favorite transcontinental road will be as great in 1927 as they were in 1926. Utah Roads The only unimproved part, the natural dirt, is in western Utah. When the season is favorable this stretch is as good as many improved roads, but it should be avoided in wet weather. Not only has it never been improved, but no maintenance is done on it Because of this unimproved section, thousands of motorists turn to the Oregon Trail at Granger, Wyoming, and reach the Pacific Coast at . Portland. Based on inquiries received for the Official Lincoln Highway Guide Book, it is predicted that transcontinental travel will be heavier this year than in any past season. During the touring season, the summer months, the Lincoln Highway is the favorite route. It not onlly furnishes the shortest and most improved road across the nation, but it gives ready access to the Rocky Mountain, the Yellowstone and Yose-mi- te National Parks, and it avoids the terrific heat of the Mohave Desert and the late opening and early closing Sierra passes of the northwest. condi- 3-3- qn TO! . , ted lar ft eludes the southern branch, via Car-so-n City, and along the shores of Lake Tahoe, known, as the Placerville route.
