Starting in New York City the high
way passes through Jersy City, Newark
and Trenton to Philadelphia, then west
to Pittsburg, through the north central
section of Ohio, over to Fort Wayne

Salt Lake City, finds its way into
Nevada by way of Tippet's ranch and
after reaching Reno, goes to Lake
Tahon, California, finally ending on the

highway for nutomobile travel, but is to
be an improved roadway, either of

venience of travelers, but to build a
