Trucks Is Limited

Drivers of wagons and trucks are
cautioned to beware as the law
strictly limits the sizes. Of loads which
can be hauled over the roads Of the
county. It will no longer be in order
for those hauling loads to see how big
loads they can haul, for by so doing
they may subject themselves to fine
or Imprisonment. -
At least one township in Gratiot
county has already taken action
through its highway commissioner to
prevent excessive loads. Elba town
ship has posted notices quoting the
law.
Wagon tires inch wide can carry
but 400 pounds to the wheel; inches
but 400 to the wheel. Trucks with 2
inch tires, running 20 miles an hour,
but 700 pounds per wheel; A inch
tires, running Is miles, but 1900
pounds per wheel; 7 inch tires, run
ming II miles per hour, but 5000
pounds per wheel. It. would be well
to hook up the exact tables for all
tires. Other limitations are made on
account of frost, rain, etc.
Fines are assessed from So to $50,
or Imprisonment of 30 days. 1t is
the duty of the sheriff. to make all
township and district highway COM
missioners his deputies to enforce
the law.
