State road systems drive New York trunk line plans
The Springfield Republican notes New York must develop trunk line highways to form a comprehensive state road system. With 80 000 miles of roads only a fraction are state or county highways, while 26 000 remain in original condition. The 1905 constitutional bond authorization aided road building as over 100 000 automobiles spurred demand for through routes.
