Huge interurban chain links farms and cities in New York
New York January 25 More than a million residents in the three largest cities outside Greater New York and eight farming counties are connected by a 600 mile interurban system from Buffalo to Rochester to Syracuse and beyond. The state public service commission reports 200 miles of final links added this year widening rural connections across Orleans Monroe Cayuga Onondaga and Oswego counties enabling cars to run from Buffalo to Rochester and then to Auburn with 70 miles of northern farmland opened by two new traction highways. The spread is credited to central oversight by the governor's utility board encouraging rural roads and farm markets through added links.
