One of the stiffest tests of automo-
bile power was given on Cliff street in
Montpelier Saturday afternoon when
Martin Pembroke, who was looking
over an International truck, asked H.
i. Cutler if the truck would carry n
load up Cliff street. This is supposed
to be as hard street for motive power
as any in the city. NJ. J. Curan, an in
spector of the company, was driving
the truck and accepted the challenge.
The load was weighed and it was found
that the truck was carrying 1000
pounds above its capacity The truck
took the load up the street to the
height of the land and then returned
to the center of the city, The driver
| for his own satisfaction, then wanted
to test the truck with the proper load
on it., with the result that the truck
went up the hill without stopping, and
then went up Corse street and through
Hubbard park. II is the first time that
loaded truck has even been over
these two streets. The result will
probably be that drivers of other trucks
will try to pull off the same stunt The
gross weight was $3.50 pounds while
the load was 1850, which included two
persons riding on the truck
