Must HIVE Wide Tires.

Led by Mr. Walter E. Grant, who has
long championed the measure. the Hen
rico supervisors yesterday passed a res
olution making compulsory after the
ist day OF March. 1911. the use OF broad
tires on wagons driven on the county
roads. This gives the farmers three
years to get rid OF their narrow-ti tied
vehicles without loss, and those who
care to. are expected to have tires of
the required width long before the
TIME limit expires.
In regard to the movement for bet
ter county roads it was also resolved
that the board having charge Of the
working and Improvement OF the roads
should at once employ a general SUI
perlntendent for the entire county,
who. under the direction of the board,

COUNTY PEOPLE
TIRED OF DELAY
Will Meet Tomorrow Morning
to Take Up Road Matter
for Themselves.
TURNPIKE HAS BEEN RUINED
Extension OF Chamberlayne Ave.

TURNPIKE HAS BEEN RUINED

Citizens of Henrico, who have ex-
hausted every method of getting a
passable thoroughfare into Richmond
since the Richmond and Chesapeake
Bay Railway practically destroyed
Brook Turnpike, and who are now tho
roughly aroused over the extraordinary
situation, Will appear before a special
meeting of the board of supervisors
of the county tomorrow morning at
II o'clock to discuss ways and means
for remedying existing conditions.
Brook Turnpike is of Importance not
only to the citizens of the county.
1t is the only convenient route by
which farmers of Hanover and Louisa
counties can get their products into
the city. When the highway was
condemned by the Richmond and Chess
apeake Bay Company the railway was
constructed in the middle of the ma
cadamized turnpike, and the public
have been driven to use the smaller
dirt roads on either side or else make
wide detours over roads equally poor.
These dirt roads-bad enough at first
have grown worse and worse with
use until now they have become abso-
lutelv impossible for loaded wagon.
On Monday an empty wagon became
so tightly stuck in one OF the many
bottomless mudholes that for a long
time it deaed the efforts of the team
to eXtricate It.
At one time II was thought that the
company would TO some extent
at least assist in repairing the dam
age to the county resulting from the
practical closing OF the turnpike. but
the road officials have apparently
grown Indifferent TO the matter, with
the result that the c!tizens-in no
amiable frame OF mind-are taking it
up themselves. The only solution to
the problem seems TO be the extension
OF Chambe-layne Avenue to Richmond.
This will mean the construction OF
abou, l-5 miles OF new road at the
expense OF the county.

50 Annoying That Members Of Council Suggest

Although they declared at once that

The argument is made that If the
