WIDE TREAD I'll RES
Henrico County Fixes Scale-Three
and Four Inch Tires.


and Four Inch Tires.
Intimately and vitality connected
with the question OF good roads, is
the wagon tire question, which this
paper has called attention To fire.
quently. In "A number of states, and
some counties in this state, the width
OF tires is fixed by law. Henrico
county, in this state, has just adopt
ed, through its Board OF Supervisors,
the following scale: Four-horse
wagons, 4-inch tread, two-horse
wagons, 3-inch tire, one horse, p
inch tread, carts 3-inch. The farmers
are given until 1911 To make the
change. BY this time, they argue,
nearly all, If not quite all the
wagons in the county, will need new
wheels. There was opposition, Cf
course, on the part of some of tie
farmers, but the measure was final
ly unanimously adopted.
This Is step in the right direc-
tion, and will sooner or later, be
taken by all the counties who have
regard for their roads. In addition to
the broad tire IL should also be pro-
vided, as is already in many places,
that the wheels shall not track -
one axle just little shorter than
the other. Every wagon, then, that
passes over the roads would be a
road-worker instead of road reck-
er, as now.
