AFTER TRUCKS

come from Chile 70 the United States
to purchase 60 motor trucks to replace
an horse carts in the delivery system
Of Valparaiso and Rio Santiago. Chile.
In South American cities the municipal
meat delivery has been generally car
ried on by horse vehicles. but since
the start Of the war there has been n
growing sentiment in favor Of motor
trucks The city OF Buenos Aires IS
a typical example OF this practice. in
which beef from municipal slaughter
houses at one end OF the city is deliv-
cred by horse carts 10 the retail butch
ers OF the city. Buenos Aires uses
from go to $50 horse carts in this
service. and the delivery must be ac-
complished by u a. M each day. At
present these carts are owned by dif-
ferent concerns, and the thought is
that they could all possibly be re-
placed by motor vehicles What seems
TO be the greatest objection TO the
motor vehicle is that the work does
not require the trucks for the entire
day. and 70 use them eventually would
mean employing them in some other
work that portion Of the day not need
