WEAR AND TEAR OF STREETS
Weight Of Load Being Increased With.
out Increasing Strength Of
the Pavements.

We are increasing the weight of
loads hauled over our streets and
not cor-espondingly increasing the
strength of the pavements to carry
them.
The legal limit of load to be hauled
over the streets of this city is IA
tons. This weight is being constantly
exceeded. and the streets are damaged
accordingly.
Occasionally we see these heavy
loads drawn by long strings of horses,
and when horse power is used the
damage is greater by reason of the
narrower tires usual on the vehicles
and the shoes of the straining animals.
But the greatest danger is from the
power-driven trucks. In these the
horse power can be increased at will,
and it is of no use to increase horse
power unless the load is increased to
correspond.
The damage done by these heavy
loads is different from that caused by
the swift-moying automobiles. 1t is
not so readily noticed, but it is the
more dangerous
While the tires Of power trucks are
wider than those of the horse-drawn
wagon, there comes time when the
wide tires, mas crushing force which
the ordinary pavement cannot with
stand.

tors of the State for approval or rejec-
ton at the next general election here
after, that is to say, said Section One
of said Article shall be amended so as

COMPETITION.
The kind THAT wins.

In fair competition lies the true.
sport OF good business. There is
no calling, no profession, or occu-
patton, equal to it for absorbing in
terest and endless succession of ex-
citing incident. But it should be
that kind Of healthy competition
and friendly rivalry that does not
strain neighborIy relations. On
the contrary, it should tend to
bring those men together who are
engaged In similar business for
the purpose of free discussion and
publicity of opinion.
Unfortunately, this does not often
occur. Men engaged in a like bus
mess sometimes get too friendly,
combine their interests, and form
a combination, contrary to the laws
OF the realm.
Others enter into bitter per-
sona1 conflict with each other, en-
deayoring with might and main to
throw ignoTriny upon and disre-
spect for the house of their COM
petitors and their goods.
The intensity Of the competitive
struggle is subject to great deal
OF variation. At times it may be
characterized as cut-throat. where
the slashing of prices has for its
object the elimination of one or
more of the contestants. Each
competitor is confronted by the
ever-present threat that il his
service is poor, or the quality Of
his goods is not up to the stand
ard, some other house OF business
will outstrip him. But the house
and no more than a fair profit as
the paramount factors in business,
is the one that in the long run is
sure TO win.
