M0T0RTRUCK ROAD ARRIVED
First One on Record Being Constructed
Between Los Angeles and Har-
Dor of San Pedro.

The motortruck road has arrived.
Tie first one on record is being CON
Structed by Los Angeles. Cal. 1t is 10
miles long, ana runs from Los Ange-
les to the harbor of San Pedro. 1t is
n 4O-foot width of Waterproof macad-
am, covered with eight inches OF solid
concrete, and with an elastic bitumi-
nous carpet" over the whole.
This roadbed is more durable than
those built merely for pleasure vehicles
or light motortrucks. In construction
and purpose it is n sort of compromise
between the ordinary highway and the
railroad. 1t provides the kind of road
needed for the heaviest sort of haul
Ing, and by segregating the slow, pom
derous truck traffic it benefits the
lighter traffic on other roads.
The innovation is sure to be widely
Followed i'm time, where conditions are
similar. There may be truck roads es-
'ablished in all populous communities.
Then we may see steady streams of
great gas-driven trucks hauling freight
along the established routes, relieving
the pressure of traffic on common high
ways and supplementing the work of
the railroads. 1t will be valuable adj
dition to our transportation systems.-

with poisoned wheat. but the practice
