Found Pleasure on New Brunswick Roads (on recent highway improvement; see R. E. Armstrong)

Five years ago I made by first trip by automobile to Charlotte County. The roads were then so very poor in many places, that I did not care to go again the following year. But when I made my second automobile trip three years ago I found the road conditions much better and each year since there has been a marked improvement. So great, in fact, has the improvement been that one can now start on a trip with no special concern about the roads. (Rest illegible—get better photocopy, esp. on last paragraph and the many native-born Canadians living in Mass, who with good automobiles and now good roads would come to New Brunswick)

Road information for Tourists: "Never before have there been so many US motor cars rolling though New Brunswick as there have been this summer. From far and near they have been coming. . . . There is little doubt that the advent of these cars . . . has been largely attributable to the improved highways throughout the province. The highway from Calais, Maine to Saint John is in particular good trim. St. Andrews, the CPR's famous resort, where camping arrangements are being provided for motorists, has had a large tourist invasion this summer."

Tourists Visit New Brunswick. Coming in Motor Cars viss.

Hundreds of tourists from across the border have come into New Brunswick this year via the St. Stephen/Saint John Road, and it is probably many more will enter the province by way of St. Stephen before the summer is ended. The number this year is reported to be far in excess of the number in preceding years, largely due to the fact that the rule of the road in the province has been changed and that the roads have been considerably improved. [reported that last year three times as many crossed at St. Stephen than at Woodstock or Richmond.]

Harding dies; Coolidge sworn in.
