spondent believes thai the movement

In hand with the movement for good
roads, and he states that. in his opin-
ion. unless this is done and wide tires
are adopted the effect Of the money
spent OIL roads will be very much i'm
paired. Frequent reference has been
made to the subject in these columns,
and we quite agreed with our eorre>
spondent that the attention OF those
interested in the movement cannot too
often be called to 1t. We hope thas
all who are working for the cause OF
improved roads and :treets will keep
the wide tire question well in front.
and earnestly work for the enactment
of proper legislation. One needs only
to 90 about the country little to notc
the damage done by narrow tires to
roads built at great expense. The use
of narrow tires is certainly the poor
