Transcontinental highway proposal spurred by Galloway tour
William Galloway, president of the William Galloway company, argues for a coast to coast highway built as the shortest direct route. On a 5,500 mile auto trip with four weeks travel, he cites poor main roads and detours, advocates engineering a permanent hard surface across the nation, and notes war time efficiency. His party included Dwight Galloway and J. G. Brinkerhoff. King left for San Francisco. They traveled through Bemidji, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho among others, finding Washington the best roads and urging repairs at regular intervals.
