GOOD Roads and wide-Tire Wagons.

When will the public wake up to
this important change? Not until
there is a law to compel those who
use narrow tires to make the change
| have a large amount of road to re-
pair ard l find it impossible in GER
tain localities to keep a good read
when heavy teams with narrow Tires
are in constant use. Mansfield, Conn,
Joins the city of Willimantic and
there is no railroad, excepting one on
the west side; consequently all the
lumber and supplies from the north
and east of the towns ad dining are
hauled through Willimantic. Some
teams carry 5000 pounds with two
inch tire. They cut our roads all to
pieces and do not pay cent OF tax.
If heavy teams were compelled to use
four inch tire and those carrying a
ton or less three inch tire, the roads
could be kept in good condition. In
localities where the wide tire is used
the condition of the roads is muvh
better. Why not have the change?
1t could he readily brought about by
legislative enactment ". d. Stearns.
