There is less inclination on

There is nothing wrong locally,
in the prospects for the fu-

are very healthfuI. An i'm
portant factor in the increase
in local farm values would be
the employment of a county

and the quality OF labor is much
higher. The pay is better, and the

Stable Space Economy.
Then there is the question Of sta
BILE space which often is not con-
sidered in making comparative state
ments of horse wagon and motor
truck operating costs. A great deal
of the business of the big coal deal
ers in the larger cities consists in the
delivery of coal to the hotels and
large office buildings. The coal yards
must of necessity be located near by,
and many, if not all, of the teams
are stabbed at the yards out of which
they work. Land in these sections
is nearly always valuable, and when
stable area can be released for other
purposes, as much Of it can when
motors are installed, there results a
great saving which goes a long way
toward paying for the motor equip
ment Peter Doelger, a New York
brewer, released stable property
worth $3.50, 900 by replacing his horses
with So power wagons.
The question of reliability during
extreme weather conditions, the abil-
ity to work overtime after an ordi-
nary days work is done and without
impairment for the morrow, the
quickness with which orders can be
filled and the advertising value of
prompt delivery, the great radius of
action, the possibilities for business
expansion into outlying territories
hitherto untouched-these and many
other advantages of power wagons
over horse equipment are too well
known to need further comment.
For those who can profitably sell
their horses but who are unwilling
tosdispose of their wagons at a loss
there are several makes of one, two
and three wheeled tractors that can
be hitched to the fore part of the
wagon and thus use the old equip
ment to advantage, although neces-
sarily such an arrangement IS nat
urally not so economical as prop
erly designed power wagon proyid-
ed with its own quick unloading
mechanism.
Quick Loading Facilities.
Finally, there is the question of
quick loading and unloading devices
which are necessary if one wants to
keep the motor truck in motion the
maximum number of hours per day
and thus increase its earning ca
paCity to the greatest possible. For
this purpose there are locomotive
cranes, grab buckets, continuous
chain hoists, portable leaders, over
head hoppers, dump bodies of all
kinds, and so forth. Some of these
are operated by steam or electricity,
or by the power Of the trucks own

Uses and Advantages Of Motor Truck Transportation;
Problem Of Ice and Coal Delivery Now Fully Solved

ice concerns using 224 power wagons
valued at $675,OOO.
Grouping the coal and ice COM
panies together, there are $50 COM
panies with 925 machines of an ag-
gregate value of $3,S25,00G. About s.
per cent of this investment was made
during the year 1912. The active buy
ing of this trade group will probably
double every year for several years
to come.
The recent consolidation in Chicago
Of the City Fuel Company and the
Knickerbocker Ice Company has ex-
IRENE significance for the motor
truck industry and for the great coal
and ice trade groups of this country.
The coal trade has its maximum
activity during the coolest months in
winter.
The ice trade is busiest during the
hottest months in summer.
Therefore the coal companies are
compelled to go into the market for
road-Yehicle equipment in the winter,
and the ice companies must do the
same thing in summer or they must
carry enough of this equipment to
satisfy the maximum demand in win
ter or summer, as the case may be,
thus mourning a heavy continuous in
yestment and carrying expenses for
horses and wagons or machines that
are worked to capacity only a small
fraction Of the year.
The 1npCr ObuiOt1g CplurfpTl Of the
problem is the carrying on of a dual
business, ice and coal. Then, of
course the same vehicle equipment,
except for the special bodies, could
be used at or near maximum ca
pacity all the year round.
An alternative plan, which will
probably appeal in its entirety only TO
the smaller concerns, would be to
hire motor wagon equipment from a
professional operator who, with a
large fleet Of machines could so ar
range mis- hauling contracts among
various seasonal demand trades as
to keep his entire equipment working
at maximum capacity the whole year
round.
Concerning Short Haus.
In discussing the reasons for the
slOwness of Philadelphia coal mer-
chants in applying motor wagons, a
well-known authority quotes the Goa!
men as saying that they cannot use
the machine economically, as their
hauls are very short. the city being
Crtss- crossed all over with steam
railroads which bring the fuel right
into the coal yards.
That the argument of the coal men
is utterly without foundation in fact
is proved by the experience of the
Burns Brothers Coal Company in New
York and the City Fuel Company in
Chicago. Short hauls, many Of them
less than a mile, comprise the bulk
of the deliveries Of these concerns
Yet the tonnage handled per machine
per day is something enormous. and
the saving over the old horse de-
livery methods is tremendous.
Each of the ten-ton motor trucks of
the Burns Company averages well
over 100 tons Of coal delivered a day,
which, counting in the delays in load
ing and unloading and those caused
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-04-06

by congested traffic conditions on the
streets is a wonderful showing.
Practically all of the sixteen ma
chimes so far installed in the service
Of the City Fuel Company are used
in the downtown district of Chicago
where the street traffic is the densest
and the hauls usually under two
miles. And yet these machines, with
an administration that is still far
from being perfected owing to the
newness of the motor service. are
saving their owners no less than
$40, 900 a year over the cost of the 80
three horse trucks they displaced.
In Buffalo Spaulding & Spaulding
are making as high as 80 tons Of coal
delivered per day per machine with
their seventeen 5-ton power wagons,
and with a few notable exceptions
the hauls are short.
Thus the contention of the Phila-
delphia coal dealers that motor
trucks will not apply in haul
service is effectively refuted But it
must be borne in mind that all of
these installations are of recent date,
so the men from Quakertown may be
excused for their lack of knowledge
on this point.
The Investment End.
On the investment side, with prop
er administration and terminal facil-
tiles, motor coal trucks cost less
than the horse outfits they can dis
place.
A typical example is that of the
City Fuel Company of Chicago. This
concern pays $3.50 each for its horses,
S425 for its 3-horse wagons, and $40
for three sets Of harness for such an
outfit. Thus the total investment IL.
a 3-horse wagon equipment is $1,285.
At present each of the 5-ton motor
trucks has displaced two 3-horse
bitches Cor about 2h teams) in this
service. The value Of the horse equip
ment replaced per machine Is thus
$3.50. This is little more than one
half the cost of each 5-ton motor
truck complete with body, so the ar
gument advanced apparently does not
hold water.
But the present average daily ton
mage of these machines is only IS
tons. although So tons a day has been
done Still, with practically ideal
conditions of operation. 20 tons n day
will be quite possible, in which case
the motor equipment will be actually
cheaper in first cost, than the horse
outfits they displace. What the econ
omy of such ideal service can be i'm
agined when it is considered that IN
der the present system-in which per-
force the machines are worked only
to One-half their capacity-the yearly
profit is $4,000 over the former horse
costs.
The other advantages of motor de-
livery, apart from the question Of
economy, are so numerous that only
cursory mention Of them will be
given.
The driver question is simpler with
motors than with horses. Fewer men
are needed to move the same tonnage,
