Text Appearing Before Image:
rafficwhich the roads of Santa Clara County bear is that pleasuretravel which, with the cheapening of the automobile, hasincreased so tremendously of late years. Of this travelSanta Clara County invites and secures its full share, whichis poured in by the State Highway from San Francisco andOakland, two main trunk line highways originating at thesepoints converging at San Jose, the commercial center of thecounty, into one main trunk line that reaches the cities andvalleys to the southward by way of the Coast route. Of the pleasure traffic which passes through Santa ClaraCounty there is a definite and natural diversion, for manypoints of interest exist made easy of access by county high-ways. Principal of these is the famous Lick Observatory,the gift of James Lick, one of Californias pioneers, whosewill set aside $700,000 for an observatory to be equippedwith the finest and most powerful telescope obtainable.
