Route books for Federal-Aid highways, 1931-1977.

The two volumes in this series contain letters designating New York Highways as primary or secondary routes eligible for federal aid. Volume 1 includes a description of each Federal aid primary and secondary highway route approved in New York as of January 9, 1931. The routes are numbered consecutively. Beginning and ending points and intermediate cities, villages, and hamlets are indicated for each route. The rest of the series consists of letters approving revisions or additions to the system, as it existed in 1931. Each letter states the number and the route of the primary highway added to the Federal aid system. (There are few if any letters approving changes in the secondary system.) Usually the length of the route is given, along the state's total primary mileage including the new route.
