T. Life Bldg , Kansas City, Mo ROADS Af*p LOADS: — A man came to this office today and complained that he drove more than ten miles behind a truck which carried eleven tons. Think of it. 22,00 V pounds besides the wagon. Do you wonder that we have a road problem and that many are worrying us to how best to solve it. perhaps a lot of people do not realize that a movement Is on right now to forbid trucks carrying heavy loads using roads. It would, they argue help keep the traction and steam lines alive and would save the roads. Its sufficient to think about that at least those wiyf, haul ten or twelve tons and travel down the middle of the road, ought to be considering it seriously. The Mid- ♦ Vest Magazine has this to ray on this question: , The heavy truck is a road hog! It destroys the road and endangers life. No concrete road can be built strong enough to stand up under the overweight truck. | The average truck driver is not t only careful enough to keep tar a*vy j from the edge of the road, but a’su carclea* enough to be a menaf-e to everybody else on the road. This carelessnc as comes from the knowledge thj|t if lie hits you. his preponderance of weight is his protection and your-destruction. The road hog is a public menace! To preserve the roads and to pres tret human life this overweight truck should he driven off the highways, i 4* * ■! ■ RWl— • - • ■ ».—■!*!
