About 100 members and RUnSts of the Cape Cod Chombor
of Commero'p Sat down to the monthly dinner , at Wnysido Inn
in Chatham, a week ago, called out by the new Mid-Cape High,
way, discussion of which was the subject of the raeotlrijr fol-
lowing the dinner.
Mr. William A. Callahan , state
commissioner of public works, was
scheduled speaker , but , unable at
the last moment to come, duo to
press of legislative affairs, was re-
placed by Mr. Edgar Copoll , traffic
englnoor of tho Public Works De-
partment , a summer resident of
Capo Cod , with a homo In Dennis.
Mr. Copoll camo at tho roquost
of. Rep. Allan Jones and was in-
troduced by Mr. Frederick V. Law-
rence, the contractor who built
that part of Route C which is in
the Wellfloot section.
The Mid-Cape Highway will be
Hie Ilrst of its kind In tho Stato,
Mr. Copell statod . It is to bo a
high-spend, limited access highway,
with a grass Btrip between the
lanes and with tho approaching
roads from tho various communi-
ties landscaped. And these nccess
highways it IB the function of Capo
Cod to plan , said Mr. Copoll. The
State Public Works Department
has the responsibility or providing
a modern Mid-Capo Highway, but
tho rest must be dune locally. The
planning boards of the various
towns should study the needs, said
bo, and determine tho most con-
venient locutions for access roads
to connect the towns with the new
highway.
It was lack of zoning, the speak-
er Hold, which turned tho Worces-
$dtt t&\J&5*
cause of accidents.
Tho section now being lined up
from Route 180 In Sandwich to
Route 182 in Barnstublo is 11 miles
long. It will eventually bo a double-
barreled highway, with another
roadway constructed alongside ,
having two lanes on each side, with
parking spaco. A service road Is to
bo constructed along tho ontlro
length to provide nccoss con-
nections.
Mr. Copoll gave his opinion that
the new highway should bring In-
creased business to tho communi-
ties of Capo Cod, inasmuch as con-
struction by the State Department
will Include the landscaping of the
access approaches for H00 to 50(1
feet from the highway, thus offer-
ing nn attraction to motorists to
wander off the highway to some
of the towns and villages.
Tho Department hopes to star t
work on tho second barrel when
the single-barreled road now being
constructed is completed as far as
Orleans, which It should bo In two
years.
From Orleans, the noxt section
will bo constructed on Route 6 to
Truro; nnd tho noxt Is being con-
sidered for Provincotown and tho
Province Lands.

IEPITORIAL
Survey Response A "Must"
Those proprietors of hotels, lodging houses, guest houses,
and cabins, who have not yet replied to the questionnaire sent
them by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, should do so
without further delay, in the interests not only of their own busi-
ness, but of that of all Cape Cod, which, of course, reflects back
o their own business, too.
The Federal Reserve Bank has agreed to undertake a spe-
cial study of the resort lodging business on Cape Cod, the results
of which will be of inestimable value to the Cape's recreation
industry, by providing the factual material for promotional work
here.
The bank has extended to January 3 the date when these
replies must be received, since enough had not come in by the
date first set. In fact, out of over 400 forms sent out, only 33
completed forms had been sent back up to a few days ago.
Your Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, by whose request
the bank is undertaking this survey, needs such information as
will be forthcoming from the survey for making future plans.
The Chamber reminds all those engaged in the business of
lodging vacation guests that information they send in on the
questionnaires is kept confidential by the Federal Reserve Bank,
which cannot release them to anyone on Cape Cod, to any
group, nor to any taxing authority. Only the person submitting
'he figures will know what is on his own. If he wishes, he need
not sign his report.
A complete or nearly complete report from the Cape will
be the basis for securing more business here in the future. All
resort proprietors please take notice. The survey can be made
only if there is sufficient response. The opportunity is here. We
have only to act on it.
The Past Matrons' Club of the
Cotuit Chapter, Number 177, O.E.3.,
