The efforts of the county authorities
that have been so commemorate to
keep the county road through the Fort
Shsfter reservation In coed condition
will all be oyerthrown unless the con-
Tractors engaged in constructing the
additions to the department hospital
are restrained as to the size of the
loads Of humber and other material
that their employees are hauling over
the stretch of road in question. Prac.
tlcally all OF the damage recently re-
haired by the road force was caused
by leads of lumber of immense size
coming up the hill near the hospital.
The wagons are drawn by a motor of.
greet power that permits loading the
marrow tired vehicles to limit that
""NSuiu tIJ the ucdNlcSI CONSTRUCTION
to damaging point aud in addition
the loads are unskillfully disposed on
the wagons in that greater portion
OF the enormous weight is carried on
the rear axles. As the loads strike,
the rather steep slopes the rear wheels
cut fairly through the metalling and
another reDair job Is at hand. Restric-
ton to suitable leads in size would be
2 real economy for the local authori-
ties and save many dollars for the
c9unty The use of public utilities
should not be nermittad to run into
abuse A read is public nrnpe-fv and
should be protected against wiIfuI or
Needless DAMAGE to the same degree
as public building would be.
