TALE Of WIDE TIRES.
Practical Plan For Highway Super.
viscrs to Follow.

~' ~
viscrs to Follow.
A good and practical suggestion to
road supervisors and Others who have
charge of road maintenance may be
found in the following tale of the use
Of the wide instead Of the narrow tires,
says the Good Roads Magazine. The
story was told to Paul ID. Sargent,
highway commissioner Of the state Of
Maine, by a county commissioner of
the sayse state:
The heavy teaming In our town is
confined mainly TO the three miles of
dirt road. over which lime rock is haul
ed from the quarries to the kilns. This
teaming has been done for years on
two and fiye-tenths inch tires, with
hind wheels fifty-six inches and front
wheels fifty inches in diameter.
1.-The resulting repairs, made neces-
sary by the continual hauling of heavy
loads on narrow tires, has cost this
town thousands of dollars. In order
that this might be remedled we made
IN agreement with the lime rock haul
ers to furnish them with the wide tired
wheels fitted to their Wagon axles,
with the understanding that il upon
fair trial and experiment they should
prove to be Of mutual advantages the
haulers should buy the wheels of the
town.
ION consultation with the manufac-
turers we ordered the sizes above
given (rear wheels, Aty-six inches;
front, fifty inches, They arrived
about the LIST of July, 1905, and
from that time until about the 21st of
August | used my best endeayors TO
get them adjusted to the wagons and
forty-fcur inch wheels were so much
lower than the old ones that the rocks
and ruts would 'trig' them; also that
they would lower the body SO much
that the tongue would Stat and break
the horses legs. And who will pay
the damage? was the question.
"As a last resort we put the wheels
on one Of their wagons and hauled
rock for them one day. Our teamster
hauled the same loads and followed in
the old tracks. The road was in a
very dangerous condition at this time
and badly rntted, so that even light
driving wagons sank to their hubs In
places. The wide tires soon filed
the ruts so that the wagons with the
narrow tires actually hauled more rock
on the last or fourth turn that day
than they did In the morning.
After seeing the work of these
wheel COR one day the owrsr of the
wagon wanted the whole equipment
Immediately, and applications for the
three sets came so fast that we
were unable to shift the gearing quick
ly enough. In fact. one teamster drove
team for a week without brakes in
to have the wide tires sooner
Since that time the wheels have been
in constant use summer and winter.
AT the time of this writing the
amount of rock is hauled in three
that was formerly hauled per
day in four turns by the same teams,
and the drivers claim that the work is
Zone easier by the horses. The sand
stretch which was the hardest place
for the narrow tires Is now crossed

Result of Good Roads,

The other day the owners of service
stock in Fayette county, Pa, had their
animals in Fayetteville on exhibition,
and some very fine ones were there.
The time was when they would have
been exhibited under the saddle, but
our good roads are ringing the knell
for the saddler, and now every man
wants a roadster that can ''step some,'
says the Fayette Observer, Every
horse on display was shown between
shafts; not a saddler was to be seen.

in the railroad world. gave a subject for
continued discussion. This served to
counterfeit TO some extent the showing
of deceases in net earnings Of railroads
by reason of increased operating cost,
which has now become a general ten
dency. The traffic managers plan for
or increasing earnings and at the same
time adding TO the efficiency of the pres
ent supply of equipment. The intention
of railroad companies to Tetrench their
plans for any future projects of improve
ment is now generally accepted as a fixed
determination. The reduction of the pres

suit. But-also, a subsistence of q part OF
the demand for materials and for labor
quence. The question of how far this
process of readjustment may carry the
reaction in industrial activity is now be-
lieved to account for the recent action
OF the stock market, where operations
were reflected of persons informed of
the determination of railroad authorities
TO curtail their improvement plans
The feature of the day in the money
market was the free offerings of funds
although the strong position reported by
the banks Of England and France showed
the strength of the foreign financial po-
sition in spite Of the retention of the .
