new LAW WILL
REGULATE ALL
HEAVY TRAFFIC

One Of the interesting and i'm
pCrtant phases fer the new traf-
fic Law. which will be discussed
board Of supervisors for January H..
relates to the restriction to be placed
On heavy motor and horse vehicles,
and will also prohibit the use of cleats
upon such vehicles.
The engineering department OF the
city and county has complained many
times Of the damage the heavy mo-
tors were doing the streets. These
complaints lead to l.. N. Whitehouse,
city and county engineer, taking up
with P. L. Weaver first deputy city
and county attorney. the scheme Of
Incorporating in the proposed ordi-
nance such regulations as apply in
New York to heavy vehicles.
The result is that a number of the
sections promulgated by the New York
highway commission are to be incor-
porated in the new measure.
Following are some Of the salient
features Of the proposed sections:
No traction engine, road engine,
trailer. steam roller, automobile truck,
motor or other power vehicle shall
operate on the highways which has
wheels fitted with flanges, clamps,
cleats, Tugs or spikes.
No traction engine, trailer, steam
roller, automobile truck, motor
or other power vehicle shall OPP
crate on the public highways if it
is of weight in excess CT Is tons.
The two sections given are a sum-
mary of the New York law.
Mr.. Whitehouse and Mr.. Weaver are
strongly in favor of such regulations,
They say in that way a great deal Of
damage to streets can be avoided
