AUTO TRUCK'SF FIELD
IS NEAR BIG CITIES

In view OF the present interest in
the carrying of freight in motor
truck from city to city, the Engineer
ing News-Record has made { special
investigation Of the comparative cost
of freight transportation by railway
and by highway. The results OF the
investigation are published with ex-
haustive detail. including facts. fig
ures and tables, in the July 10 issue
OF the Engineering News-Record.
The investigation shows that the
cost OF hauling freight by rail, where
there is sufficient business, is only
a small fraction Of the cost of haul
ing it by highway, even when the
road is paved-at large expense-and
a motor truck is used. On the other
hand, the advantage of hauling by
motor. truck is found in the ability
OF the truck to carry freight from
origin to destination and to obviate
the repeated rehandling which is
necessary with railway transporta-
ton. The motor truck, too, on short
distance hauling often saves more
in the cost OF packing and boxing
than the entire freight charge.
However. the most economical
method Of transport for a given To-
cation will depend on the local con-
ditions. especially the amount and
character OF the freight to be
handled, and the cost Of building and
maintaining various types of road
way at that location.
Charles Whiting Baker, consulting
editor OF the Engineering News
Record, who carried out the investiga-
ton, urges that the building of
branch-line railways in country dis
tricts should be resumed, and that all
such railways should be allowed to
charge freight rates high enough to
pay the cost of transport over them.
so that they should not be a burden
on the main line. Railways to handle
light traffic, however, should be built
and operated quite differently from
heavy-traffic railways
The motor trucks greatest field of
is about the larger city,
where 1t can effect a great saving in
handling less than-carload freight
shipments and express packages be-
tween the city and surrounding towns.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1919-07-12

the United States by highways are
to be measured; hitherto, the Lin
coin Highway was supposed to start
at New York city and Washington
was not even on its route; as will be
seen by the map published in this
issue Of the Motor Transportation
trans-continental route the Lincoln
Highway now will have its starting
point in front of the White House
and this is as il should be.
In Washington, as the Capital of
the nation, there is deposited the
Standard Dollar, the Standard Meas
ure, the Standard Weight, and vari-
GUS other standards. There could be
no more fitting place than here to
reckon distances from.
1t will be the endeavor of those
who have the project in charge to
make IL custom hereafter to speak
of distances by highways as being so
many miles from the Zero Mile Stone,
and no doubt in the next issues of
route books this designation will be
used.

Cross-Country Convoy
Reaches Greenburg, Pa.
Only Few Hours Late

The Motor Transport Corps trans
continental train, which left this city
July Z, completed the first four legs
of it's 5000 mile trip last night when
it arrived at Greensburg, Pa, q few
hours behind schedule time, but in
good order.
Yesterdays run was the longest and
hardest of the trip so far, the convoy
meeting very heavy rains and heavy
grades, at times reaching an altitude
! of 1900 feet.
With the exception OF a few minor
troubles, such as the shearing of a
bolt, the trip thus far has been I'M
eventful from the standpoint Of the
Maintenance Department. The big
gest job tackled has been the refining
of some truck brakes, done mainly as
a matter of precaution to obviate any
chance of trouble in crossing the
mountains where steep grades are
frequent
