Wide tires would greatly lcngthcn

decrease the cost of REPAIRS The
streets could be kept in more clearly

would be fewer rutS and "chuCk holes"

and there would be less dust blown
through the air on dry days, sending
disease bearing microbes into nostriis

adoption of wide tires not only would
lessen the strain upon horse and driv-

that the population of the republic is now 100000
