There is undoubtedly something

man. one not only well versed but
whose word is above reproach, had
made the unqualified statement that
In the very near future. gasolene
would fbe selling for between 10 and

The information was also given
out that the refineries had overpro-
duced so much gasolene that they
had been compelled to let up to a

LEGISLATION SUGGESTED TO
DIRECT REDUCTION OF
ROAD WASTAGE.
CLAIMED HEAVY TRUCKS
MORE ECONOMICAL NOW
Said to Have Been Proved That
Large Vehicles Are Not Respons-
lbie for Excessive Road Deteriora.
tion--Llsht Vehicle Must Speed to
Approach Economy Of Heavy Truck.

There Is probably no more vital or
widely discussed topic Of interest In
the motor truck industry Just now
than the relation Of trucks to road
wear. Much opinion has been ex-
pressed to the effect that large ca
pacity vehicles, by virtue OF their
greater weight, are In some measure
responsible for excessive road deter
ioration. Altho It might be advisable
at the present time to decrease the
tonnage transported over highways,
it Is not possible to do so, because
there Is no other agent capable OF
taking over this traffic.
Thus the only alternative Is to d.
rect legislation toward reducing the
road wear per ton transported. Tests
have shown that the road impact Is
the principal cause OF highway des-
truction. and also the road impact
does not necessarily Increase in d.
rect proportion to the size OF the
truck but Is governed by the amount
of weight truck carries below the
springs.
Truck Traffic Legislation Urged.
No one realizes better than the
motor truck manufacturer the neces-
sity Of putting into force legislation
which win preserve the roads and
enable this country to approach more
rapidly it's ultimate state OF highway
perfection. II Is doubtful. however,
whether the policy which is now
pursued Of restricting large capacity
trucks will be effective in accomplish
ing this end.
There are only two possible ways of
preserving the roads thru legislation,
