MUST BUILD HIGHWAYS T0TAKE
CARE Of GREAT DEVELOPMENT TRUCK
Transportation COMING IN TEN YEARS
superintendent Illinois Highways Says Problems That Com
monweath Same in Other Parts CountryRoad System
Problem Must be Solved to Meet Conditions Bound
Follow Expansion Of Motor Trucks Field.

Illinois Is facing the problem Of
building statewide system of roads
which win be called upon to sustain
not only the heavy traffic Of today,
but also the anticipated increase in
traffic which will develop within the
next two decades. The use of the mo-
tor trusk for transportation, now In It's
infancy, seems likely to become as uni
versal as the use of the passenger
motor car; and looming up as 1t does
as the most important element in the
future movement of freight, must con-
seQuently be considered one OF the
principal governing factors in the de-
sign Of modern highways.
These conditions, says s. E. Bradt'
Illinois, superintendent of highways in
1llinois, are not dissimilar to those in
other states, and therefore all far-see-
ing highway officials have now to cope
with the problem of building highways
which will have the stamina to JOIN
with the heavy truck in delivering the
goods" of tomorrow.
NEW PAVING TYPES
The anticipated use OF connected
system Of country highways in Illinois
by motor trucks has resulted in Ger
tain notifications in practice in nigh
way desien, all OF which have resulted
in increased cost
The selection of the rigid types of
paycment-such as brick, concrete or
bituminous concrete on a concrete base
for practically the entire state bond
issue road system is largely due to
the destructive action OF motor trucks
on the lighter. cheaper types of road
surfacing. If passenger car and team
traffic alone were to be built for the
lighter types of pavcment-such as. for
example bituminous macadam, surface
treated macadam or plain water bound
macadam-could be used satisfactorily
and great saving in first cost could
be made. With heavy truck traffic to
cope with, however, it would be finan-
cial suicide to build any but the most
substantial roads on the main routes
Motor trucks are also directly re-
sponsible for the almost universal
adoption of greater thickness in rigid
pavements than has been used in past
practice. This amounts to about one
inch increase in all standard types, en-
failing a resulting increase in cost.
Instances are on record where ever
rigid roads have been broken down by
heavy truck traffic because they lacked
the requisite flexural or slab strength
The standard of thickness used in Hi
nois has undoubtedly been entirel!
adequate for present needs, but an in
creased standard of thickness has beef
adopted to safeguard the vast invest
vent that is now being made in road
the $S4,OO0,00O which is now avail
able from the federal aid and the stat
bond issue for the construction of 1
connected trunk line system of high
ways.

motor truck-of its adaptability and
economies-that was offered by the
freight congestion of 1917, during
which the $4,000 motor trucks in use
hauled 1,2O0,00o,000 tons of materials.
1t should sound "a warning to pros
pective purchasers to get their orders
in while immediate deliveries are OBJ
tainable. 1t should be an added incen-
tive to dealers to intensity selling eff

Motor trucks will be called on as
they have in previous emergencies to
handle the traffic that the railways
cannot accommodate. They will bring
foodstuffs direct from the producer,
coal direct from the mines and man
ufactured products direct from the
manufacturer-to the door of the res
taller or consumer. The measure of
reputation for economy and satisfac-
ton they reach, however, will be d.
rectly in proportion to the amount of
organization and efficiency OF opera
ton that is applied to their use. I'm

necessary.
TRUCK BUREAUS BIG HELP
| 1t Is very readily conceivable that
the effects of the coal shortage will be
high grade motor trucks in sufficient
quantities to meet demand will be i'm
| possible. In such an event 1t behooves
the truck owner to obtain the greatest
amount of productivity he can from
each unit in his service. Maintenance
cost records, return load bureaus and
unloading methods are some of the
things that the operator cannot know
to much about. 1t is the duty Of the
manufacturer and Of the salesman to
furnish the owner with educational
data and ideas that will be helpful to
him, and it is the duty of the owner to
apply careful study to the fulfillment
OF his transportation reuirements.
That the compulsory use OF trucks
by those who have always depended
on the railroads will cause q great
many to ship their goods by motor ve-
hicles in the future. is a foregone con-
clusion. While the efficacy of the
truck has already been proven many
have still to be educated to its econo-
mics, and situation such as the coal
shortage will bring on provides the
best means for that education.
