But at this point the floating cameraman, library scissors in his teeth, attempted to climb to a ring five feet above his head to saw free some more of the bags.

Of the almost 14,000 ft. of cumulative climb on the Lincoln Highway, 10,000 ft. will be missing in the new road. Only bottlenecks will be the two-lane tunnels. The almost $400,000-a-mile cost to widen and surface the road, to drain and finish boring tunnels, to employ an estimated 17,000 men for three years...
