Road builders say the auto and the

Three remedies have been sug.
gested. They are:
First-Roads built durable enough
TO stand any traffic.
Second-Trucks built to a limited
size and a law prohibiting the haul
ing OF more than a specified weight
over certain roads.
Thiri-Roads built 50 strong for
any load to travel IL and the prohi-
bition of loads exceeding a certain
limit on other roads.
Tho National Automobile Chamber

the chief road troubles is that auto
mobiles have been built without re
gard OF where they were to run.
