DEMAND WIDE TIRES.
Council Bluffs Business Men Want an
Ordinance Enforced.

Council Bluffs, June l1.--AS the re-
suit of conference held in the Com
mercia1 Club rooms by the members OF
The committee on roads and streets, the
ordinance passed by the city council
In 1896 calling for wide tires on Wag-
pns driven over the pavcments of the
city will be brought forth from the
wreck of non enforcement and the pro-
visions therein contained will be
brought TO the attention of the city
eouncil for stringent enforcement.
The subject under consideration at
the Monday evening meeting of the
rommittee was street Improvement and
how the better conditions of streets
both paved and unpayed might be
brought about. The suggestion was
there made that the pavements We're
being cut up by narrow tired wagons,
and the streets where they We're un-
paved were practically made useless
during the spring by the use of the old
fashioned two-inch tires. The old or
ainance was then discovered and a
resolution unanimously recommending
the enforcement. of the same was
adopted.
The ordinance was passed by the city
council on Dec. %, 1896. and in text is
as follows
THAT on and after July 1, 1897, 1t
shall be unlawful for any person at any
time to drive or permit to be driven
over any of the paved streets of the city
any wagon or vehicle which, with the
load thereon. weighs over 5000 pounds,
unless the tires of said vehicle are four
inches or more In width.
"Any person violating my of the pro.
visions of this ordinance or refusing to
comply with the request of any officer
or obstructing, resisting or interfering
with the same while enforcing any Of
the provisions of this ordinance. shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall be fined IN
a sum not less than $40 nor more than
$50 for each offense."
The resolution which the committee
adopted at its meeting was in response
tc the recommendations made at the re-
cent good roads convention at st. Louis
a short time ago. There 1t was said
that one of the worst uses to which
road can be put is traffic over 1t In wag-
ons with narrow tires. The unanimous
expression of the convention was that
wide tires were an important factor IN
the maintenance of good roads.
No matter how good road may be"
stated Colonel w. F. Baker, in speak
ing of the enforcement of the ordinance,
narrow tires Will result In its being
cut up and made rough. The sentl-
ment as expressed at the st. Louis con-
yention was that the wi lie tires are not
only more conducive to better roads,
but are also more economical. Average
loads can be drawn with wide tires and
at less expense than with narrow ones.
In Michigan, where a rule was passed
a few years ago for wide tires, I have
been told by wagon manufacturers that
thew can not now sell a narrow-tired
wagon. The farmers have discovered
that wide tires are cheaper In the long
run and will result in the maintenance
of better roads. / intend to bring the
enforcement of the wide-tire ordinance
before the attention OF the city council
at its next meeting"
