Wagon Tires and Roads.

Eds. Record Union: To the recon-
mendations recently made by the STATE
Highway Commissioners l wish 10 adu
a few suggestions. In the anxiety for
good roads it seems to me the cause or
bad roads Is overlooked, nine-tenths be-
ing bad wheels. 1 respect the Commits
sioners for their allusion to wide tires.
In a wheel ordinance the size of wheels
is of as much Importance as the width
of tire. The object of good roads is to les
sen the power required for transporta-
ton. Now, then, wheel two and nalf
feet high bears heavier upon short
surface compared with the wheel four
to five feet in hight, consequently the
low wheel starts depression. The
next one coming along drops into 1t,
causing all these holes in the road and
throwing the occupants of a buggy from
one side to the other as they attempt to
trot along.
The high wheel rolls over the little
depression instead Of dropping in. All
who stop to consider know the high
wheel rolls much easier than the low
one.
Now, as to the width of tires They
shouio NC, DIS our commissioners SuS-
gest, for ordinary farm and road wagons
four inches for wagons carrying two to
four tons, five inches for those carrying
four to six tons, and six inches for wag
ons carrying over six TONS
These tires upon wheels Of proper
hight would assist in rolling down a
proper graded street instead of cutting
1t to pieces, like the shameful wheels
now in use. This tire law should go
into effect in eighteen or twenty-four
months after passage, and whoever will
comply with the ordinance Immediately
should have reasonable reduction
made of his taxes.
In one clause I see recommended
straight highways Of 4, 500 miles, cost
ing from $500 to "a 500 per mile. I dare
not put those extravagant figures to-
gether lest the sum might exceed what
the farms OF the State would sell for 1
would cut the cost per mile down, say
from 500 to $500. lay little less en-
phasis on permanent roads and more
on protection to them.
am OF the opinion that the $3.50 to
S2oo roads, under proper wheel ordi-
nances, Will be in much better condi-
ton In ten or fifteen years than the
81, 600 road with the present wheels in
use. l have had practical experience
with narrow and wide tires and high
and low Wheels for half century.
