heavily laden wagons and vehicles,
said VIM. Pollock TO a Ledger req

ertis have decided marrow tires ar
not. and have laws regulating tn
widths of tires permitted on Wae

pacity.."
1t is too evident TO be DISCUSSED
that a narrow tire with a heavy loa'
on it will cut deeper In soft, mois
earth than a much wider tire. In fac
If the tire is three or four inche
wide. 1t becomes a miniature roller
and actually benefits the road inste,
Of damaging it.
J In France they have not only yer
broad tires. varying according to tn
tonnage Of the wagon, but they haV
the rear axle fourteen inches longe
than the front. This prevents tn
two wheels from tracking each OH

compact the surface. instead OF cut
