The character OF the vehicles which

influence upon It's endurance 10 the

burden two-wheeled cart does far
more damage to the road than one OF
four wheels. and this because OF the
suddenness in the motion of the wheels
and their Irregular. twisting move
ment In the trackway. Where the
axles are short and the wheels close
together the damage to all. save the
turnpike ways. Is greatly increased.
for the reason that there Is no chance
for the growth OF grass between the
treadway OF the wheels and the foot
way OF the horses. This principle ap-
pears to have been recognized in some
parts OF the country. Thus. In the
neighborhood OF Boston. whore the
