keep OFF ROADS
WITH HEAVY LOADS,
APPEAL OF Jones

People and firms using the county
roads to an extent should not overload
trucks while the roads are muddy and
soft, County Road Commissioner w.
o. Jones said Tuesday.
The snow and ice that has been on
the roads for the last six weeks has
caused them to become unusually
muddy and soft and heavy trucks
travelling the highways while they are
in this condition, will make the roads
almost impossible, continued Jones.
There are several hundred miles Of
gravel roads In Wayne county and the
cost for the maintenance Of these
roads amounts to considerable sum
each year." continued the commission
er, "as he pointed out the fact that
les heavy hauling would lessen the
the cost in keeping up the roads"
The state laws protect the roads,
placing certain amount Of tonnage on
wagons and trucks, and prohibiting
overlooking of vehicles. 1t has also
been pointed out that many people
driving large touring cars with tires
six or seven inches in width should
not be allowed on the soft roads at
this time Of year.
It Is the wish Of county officials to
refrain from and working hardship on
anyone. They ask the people OF the
county to use good judgment and keep
from using the roads in their present
condition, unless necessity compels
them. ard then make the load as light
as possible.
