Electric Roads 

 The "Wen Shore Railroad is operated by electricity from Utica 

 to Syracuse. An electric Line extends from Rome through Utica 

 to Little Falls, Herkimer County. From Utica a short line 

 extends southwest to Clinton. 



Waterways 



The Barge Canal extends across the county and through 

 Oneida Lake. The old Erie Canal, which turns from New Lon- 

 don to the southwest, is navigable from that point through this 

 county and Madison. The Black River Canal, connecting the 

 Black River and the Mohawk, is navigable through the county 

 for small barges. 



Improved Highways 



The state road between Albany and Buffalo extends from 

 Utica through Oneida to Syracuse. Rome has connection with 

 this road by means of a highway running from Utica through 

 Rome to Oneida. A road from Utica runs north through Lewis 

 and Jefferson counties to the counties of St. Lawrence and Frank- 

 lin. Another road runs south from L'tica through Bridgewater 

 to West Winfield, Herkimer County. 



A number of improved highways also radiate from Rome, in- 

 cluding the following: northwest through Camden into Oswego 

 County: north to Ava ; north to Hillside; and west to Vienna. 



In addition to those already mentioned a number of other roads 

 complete an excellent system of improved highways in this 

 county, which may be seen on the accompanying map. 



There are in the county 259 miles of completed improved high- 

 ways with 15 miles additional under construction.
