A New England study to be published later this month will recommend that an east-west highway from Calais, Maine, should terminate somewhere south of Lake Champlain. Plattsburgh will be ruled out as the recommended terminus because of the unfeasibility of northern New Hampshire and Vermont as routes for the highway. This became clear as Charles C. Crevot of Boston, executive director of the Northern New England East-West Highway Commission, addressed a luncheon meeting of about 30 New York and Vermont representatives.
