While the total mileagelof road within the half circle is increasedin this chart, the total vehicle mileage is decreased from 2,535 miles to 2,165 miles, or over 14%of the greater. That is, the designation in this chart cuts off 14% of the vehicle mileage entirelyand carries 74% of the remainder.—(Annual Report on Highwayilmprovement, Ontario, 1915). See page 81.
