• Abstract:
  Final location of the United States System of Highways consisting of approximately 80,000 miles of the most important roads in the country was made known to-day by the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. The system was given final approval by the American Association of State Highway Officials at its annual meeting at Pinehurst, N. C., on November 11 but public announcement of the exact location of the routes has been withheld until maps could be prepared for distribution.
