It gives more engine efficiency-we have records of 15% more horsepower de­ veloped. 'l'his means greater hill-climb­ ing ability. 2. The increased efficiency permits gr eater load-carrying capacity. 3. You save as high as 25% in gaso­ line. 4. Gasoline saving guarantees more mi leage. 5. Additional speed-the fastest tire in the world. G. Quicker st:nting-:ul vantageous in crowded thoroughfares. 7. Easier to guide-reducing work at the steering wheel. 8. Because of equal tension gained from all-cord construction you can coast farther. !). 50% stronger, that is, it requires 50% harder blow to break side-walls. 10.

  • Transportation
    visionHagerstown 2035 5 | Transportation Transportation Introduction An adequate vehicular circulation system is vital for Hagerstown to remain a desirable place to live, work, and visit. Road projects that add highway capacity and new road links will be necessary to meet the Comprehensive Plan’s goals for growth management, economic development, and the downtown. This chapter addresses the City of Hagerstown’s existing transportation system and establishes priorities for improvements to roads, transit, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities over the next 20 years. Goals 1. The city’s transportation network, including roads, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities, will meet the mobility needs of its residents, businesses, and visitors of all ages, abilities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. 2. Transportation projects will support the City’s growth management goals. 3. Long-distance traffic will use major highways to travel around Hagerstown rather than through the city. Issues Addressed by this Element 1. Hagerstown’s transportation network needs to be enhanced to maintain safe and efficient flow of people and goods in and around the city. 2. Hagerstown’s network of major roads is generally complete, with many missing or partially complete segments in the Medium-Range Growth Area. 3. Without upgrades, the existing road network will not be sufficient to accommodate future traffic in and around Hagerstown. 4. Hagerstown’s transportation network needs more alternatives to the automobile, including transit and bicycle facilities and pedestrian opportunities. Existing Transportation Network Known as “Hub City,” Hagerstown has long served as a transportation center, first as a waypoint on the National Road—America’s first Dual Highway (US Route 40) federally funded highway—and later as a railway node.

  • Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest
    How Campers Can Help Protect the National Forest First of all, obtain your camp-fire permit from the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H., or from any Forest officer; then observe the following rules: Build your camp fire near water, never against a log or tree. Be sure it is out before you leave it. When you throw away lighted matches, cigars, cigarettes, or pipe heels, STEP ON THRU. Dead and down trees, alder, pin cherry, striped and moose maple, may be used for fuel. LEAVE YOUR CAMP GROUNDS NEAT. THINK OF THE NEXT FELLOW. Bury your tin cans and burn garbage and papers—don't throw them in the streams. If you discover a fire and can not put it out, notify the nearest Forest officer or telephone the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H. District rangers are located at Gorham, Woodstock, Bart- lett, and Pierce Bridge, N. H. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1920 United States Department of Agriculture Contribution from the Forest Service Department Circular 100 William B. Greeley, Forester Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest HE cloud-piercing peaks, the lakes and streams and waterfalls, the wind­ swept ridges, and the deep woods trails make the White Mountain National Forest a land of heart's desire to the lover of the outdoors. In summer the hiker and mountain climber, the camper and fisherman may take his pick of trail and cliff, camp ground and trout stream; and the camera hunter may shoot scenes of beauty of every variety from peaceful valley to granite peak. Even the motorist will find convenient camping places and vantage points with a lookout over wild forest and mountain scenery.

  • Route(S) Description 26 the Increased Frequency on the 26 Makes the Entire Southwestern Portion of the Network Vastly More Useful
    Route(s) Description 26 The increased frequency on the 26 makes the entire southwestern portion of the network vastly more useful. Please keep it. The 57, 60, and 61 came south to the area but having frequent service in two directions makes it much better, and riders from these routes can connect to the 26 and have much more areas open to them. Thank you. Green Line The increased weekend service on the Green line to every twenty minutes is a good addition of service for Campbell which is seeing markedly better service under this plan. Please keep the increased service. Multiple Please assuage public concerns about the 65 and 83 by quantifying the impact the removal of these routes would have, and possible cheaper ways to reduce this impact. The fact is that at least for the 65, the vast majority of the route is duplicative, and within walking distances of other routes. Only south of Hillsdale are there more meaningful gaps. Mapping the people who would be left more than a half mile (walkable distance) away from service as a result of the cancellation would help the public see what could be done to address the service gap, and quantifying the amount of people affected may show that service simply cannot be justified. One idea for a route would be service from winchester transit center to Princeton plaza mall along camden and blossom hill. This could be done with a single bus at a cheaper cost than the current 65. And nobody would be cut off. As far as the 83 is concerned, I am surprised the current plan does not route the 64 along Mcabee, where it would be eq..

  • Scenic Areas of the White Mountain National Forest
    Scenic Areas of the White Mountain National Forest “Scenic Areas are places of outstanding or unique beauty that require special management to preserve their qualities. This type area will be maintained as nearly as possible in an undisturbed condition.” Secretary of Agriculture Rules and Regulations from 1960. Scenery in the Era of Tourism, Railroads and Logging: 1880-1911 Few people know much about the designation of scenic areas on the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF). Even fewer can identify all ten designated scenic areas even though they may have visited them or saw the boundaries marked on trail maps. The purpose of this article is to tell the fascinating story of designated scenic areas and to encourage the reader to visit and appreciate these special areas. Scenery played an important role in the early tourist history of the White Mountains. Artists and vacationers came in large numbers to enjoy the majestic views, clear streams and green forests starting in the 1880’s as the passenger railroads reached the mountains. The White Mountain School of Art played an important role in heralding the beauty of these mountains. The coming of the railroads brought more than tourists and artists. It brought the lumber barons who had previously skipped the White Mountain forests because of their inaccessibility. Most White Mountain rivers were unsuitable for driving logs but the technological advances of the steam engine made railroad logging practical. The huge demand for lumber for a growing America attracted investment and large-scale removal of the lush mountainsides covered with spruce forests. New Hampshire led the nation in spruce production for the decade of 1890-1900 with production peaking in 1907.
