MOTOR TRUCK TIPS.
Applying Hub Bolts.


In the application of hub bolts II is
vitality important that all nuts must be
thoroughly frightened when the hub bolts
are applied. After a nut has been
screwed as tightly as possible tap the
head of the bolt with a hammer to make
sure that the bolt is properly seated.
then tighten the nut again and rivet
over the nut end OF the bolt. III the hup
bolts are carefully applied In this way
they will not loosen in service.
Rafting bonnet.
The motor truck is, of course peculiar
ly liable to rattles. and anything that
helps reduce this will be valuable. A
strip of round lamp wick or rawhide
fastened along the edge of the radiator
upon which the front end OF the bonnet
rests will prevent some of the noise. The
ledge can be prepared for the wick or
hide by drilling holes. through which the
material Is threaded. or by drilling
smaller holes and securing the wick In
place by pieces OF fine wire.
Capacity and Size.
The motor truck buyer must be careful
rot to confuse carrying capacity and
body size. For instance. gigantic load

Thanksgiving time harmony was
rudely Jared one more at Wednes'
days meeting when the clerk reported
the receipt of a letter, in blank, sd-
dressed to the commissioners by Harry
E. Weir, of Fairview, New Mexico.
The communication conveyed nothing
save a big interrogation point drawn in
the middle eff the sheet of paper. For
a few minutes there was CONSERVATION
in the camp, but the commissioners
and their solicitor soon put their heads
together and drew the conclusion that
the former city engineers hyIogliphlc
letter had reference to his claim OF
S41S. 80 against the city for surveying
fees. The commissioners dispute the
claim and point TO the minutes in de-
Tense. The street commissioner stated
that there is nothing in the record to
show that Mr.. Weir had ever been
authorized to do this work for the city.
Peter Viola, who signed his name as
chairman of the Wild wood New YEARS.
Committee, addressed a letter to the
commissioners asking for financial aid
to proposed festival of fun, frolic and
frivolity. He also made a personal
appeal for funds, telling the commits
sioners that $500 or $500 is needed to
give the project even The semblance OF
success. He was informed that the
matter will have to be taken up with
the Board of Trade.
Launcelet g. Lehman, who is ia
charge OF the city's pumping station
at Rio Grsnde, presented in person his
request for the folio wing: A coal con-
veyor to cost several hundred dollars
and a heating plant to keep the entire

lection of machinery and pipes. II
was suggested that the pipeless heater
