Economy of wide Tires.

At hearing before Gov. Voorhees,, OF
New Jersey, on the proposed wide-tire
bill, ii was stated that heretofore the
township meetings have generally ap-
propriated small sums for the care Of
the roads, but that now the wheelmen
attend these meetings in a body, and
if the roads are not in as good repair
us they think they should be, they
move for an increase in the appropri-
ton and generally carry their point"
1t was also argued that it would be
cheaper to rebate ten dollars of taxes
to any farmer using wide tires than
to double the rcad appropriations, and
wide tires would generally improve the
roads.
