Wide Tires for Wheels.

The Jacksonville Citizen says;
"One method OF securing better
roads is to increase the use of wide
tires on the wheels OF wagons en-
gagged in heavy traffic. We observe
in an exchange an announcement
that the government of Southern
city has passed q resolution provld-
ing that all wagons carrying loads
of 3 900 pounds or more should
use wide tires.
"Everyoae knows how the use
OF narrow tres aggravates the
faults of poor roads. Ii the bed
becomes soft, a wagon with narrow
tires carrying a good load will cut
into the DIRT aud form a rut, which
will be carried deeper by the next
one, until the road is badly cut mp.
When the sun dries the earth,
large chunks of dirt are strewn all
over the surface to the evaporation
of the traveller.
"Experience in the Old World
has shown that a great improve
ment IN the roads of a country is
possible through the general ad'p
ton of wide tired wheels. LII
France this has become the rule
With respect to heavy carts, and
not only are the roads saved from
being cut up but farmers can carry
much heavier loads than with
narrow tires. Wherever the system
has been introduced, it has become
popular, and only agitation is re.
Qulrt d to secure Its general adOp-
uOn."
