In England, too, railway fares are
about to be raised, at even a higher
percentage than In this country, re-
marks q writer In the New York
Times. Whether the consequent grum-
bling is higher there than here 1t is
impossible to decide. AS an intended
help in shilling 1t, the newspapers are
publishing the prices for transporta-
ton that travellers had to pay in pre-
railway days.
Thus for the journey from London
to Glasgow the INSIDE passenger of
1912 had to pay about $50. Going no
farther than Newcastle from London
cost the man inside the coach some
thing like $28. In addition there was
the outlay for meals on the road and
for the long list of expected tips to

CAUSE OF DAMAGE TO ROADS
PernlcIous Practice Of OverIoadinN
Small Trucks With Narrow Tires
10 Responsible.

With the rapid increase In the mum.
Der Of motortrucks operated over our
highways, 1t has been found that
many Of what are called Improved"
roads have failed to withstand the ad-
ditional traffic imposed by the new
form Of local freight transport. This
has given rise to new problems Of
road construction and maintenance,
and in some states has led to the en-
actment Of laws prohibiting the use
Of the large capacity truck, on the
assumption that 1t is the heavy truck
that does most of the damage to the
road. The first result Of this legisla.
ton has been to encourage the PERM.
cious practice of overlooking, under
which trucks designed to carry safe
~ q limited weight r forced to car
~ a large additional load. The tires
Of the various sizes of truck are made

breaking or cutting the road surface

narrow, and the danger of injury to.
the road becomes manifest. The tire
width required for certain loads has
been carefully worked out after many
years experience, and most states
have laws fixing the weight that 10
borne by an inch Of tire width. In all
standard types Of truck the width Of
tire corresponds to the load that a
be safely carried, and truck manu-
facturers warn their customers against
carrying a greater weight than that for
which each size Of truck is designed.
The enactment of a law prohibiting
the use Of large capacity trucks leaves
the same tonnage Of freight to be
moved, and with the heavy truck
barred resort must be had to the
smaller sizes. This means in many
cases less economical and efficient
service, and prompts the manufacture
Or or merchant to try to make up for
loss In load capacity by increasing the
size Of the load. With this additional
load the gross weight on the tire ex-
ceeds the factor Of safety, and there
by increases the danger Of breaking
the road surface. It is self-evident
that a truck designed to carry two
tons with correspondents width of tires
