The letter is in part as follows:
I've have made great Roadway by

Among the main factors making for
the efficiency OF the motor ;ruck is the
TACT that it has a considerably greater
CARRYING capacity and higher speed
than the horse-drawn equipment.
Trucks also require less time for load
ing and unloading a given amount of
material than wagons. Trucks can be

maintenance cost stops when service
stops. In our tunnel work in some of
