Road Patrolmen
Removing Signs

Altho there has been no formal or
der from the board Of supervisors
that advertising signs along the pri-
mary roads must be removed. the
signs are coming down. BY what
amounts To an understanding among
members of the board the signs are
uaoiheu. Within u year, perhaps
aGtoists can follow the road markers
without having to stop at road in
tersections to find the markers
among the mass of advertising signs.
iatroiinen in charge o. the pri-
mary road districts are taking down
the signs and removing them from
the road. In time they will all be TAX
en- down. The patNOlmen have the
backing OF the supervisors and coun-
" engineer.
~ local merchant recently asked
County Engineer Hickok if he might
not erect signs just inside the line
fences along the road. The engineer
told him that the attorney general
bad ruled that the highway. from
fence to fence, and for it's entire
length, belonged to the public and
advertisers had no right to erect
signs in 1t. The merchant later sent
out n truck and had taken down all
his signs that were on the primary
roads.
So the movement is under way to
rid the roads in this county of the
signs In time they will all be gone.

published articles about the system,
and already data complied on the
standard forms are coming into the
headquarters OF the truck owners
conference for compilation and study.
Plan a Success.
One may quite naturally wonder
how this newest Of standard systems
differs from it's Ill starred predeces-
sors and for what cause IL has sue
ceeded on the graves of their failure.
Primarily it's success is based upon
the fact that it originated in con-
ference representing the ideas OF
many experts with many points of
view. II WAS not produced as bust
ness enterprise but purely ns serv-
ice to operators of motor trucks, and
Is distributed without pecuniary gain
to any one at the cost of publication.
Ii was not restricted to any one
means of distribution. but Is being
sold by two prominent loose leaf book
manufacturers, by the truck owners
conference. by magazines and by
truck and tire manufacturers. \ pro-
Queer OF calculating machines Is
pushing it. Some manufacturers are
purchasing large quantities for dis
tribution as standard equipment on
their products. 4 truck builder IS
conducting n prize contest for drivers
and shipping clerks based on the ma
tional standard system.
Is Distinct System.
AS to the system itself, it repre-
sents distinct advance over any
similar previous attempt, not only in
the manner OF its origin and the
methods OF distribution, but in many
OF it's accounting features. The old
shibboleths of truck cost accounting
have been eliminated. 1t is not cut
and dried, furthermore. but Is subject
to annual revision by committee OF
experts representing varied interests
so that it will be kept up TO date.
and will be accommodated to changes

NEW SYSTEM PLANNED TO END
DOUBTS AS TO OPERATING
EXPENSES.
EVOLVED FROM MANY
DIFFERENT METHODS
System Now Generally Advocated as
Fully Covering Truck Operating
Costs Worked Out of Many Var
ious Methods All Intended to Reach
Common End.

The fundamental principle upon
which the motor truck must be oper-
ated is a correct and accurate knowl-
edge of costs all the time and for any
given period. The truck owner must
know what his vehicles are costing
him and what they are bringing in
every day. every week and every
month of the year. Without this cer-
tain knowledge it is very likely that
he may operate over an extended
period at a loss. In actual practice
this condition has caused the failure
of more motor truck operators than
any other whatsoever.
Until very recently the entire sub
iect of cost keeping for motor truck
operation was only dirniy understood.
The methods used were incomplete
and frequently failures resulted. To-
day we are gradually evolving COM
plete and accurate method of Keep
ing costs.
Uniform System Evolved.
BY means of series of truck own :
ers' conferences held in q dozen or
more of the principal cities of the
country during the last year and a
half the national standard cost sys-
tenn for motor trucks has been com
piled and distributed to the operators
of thousands of motor trucks in all
