PLAN TRUCK CURB
TOSAvE PAVING

The District Commissioners are
considering the enactment of regula-
tions to govern motor truck loads to
reduce wear on streets and roads.
This came to light today when Maj.
F. S. Besson, assistant engineer COM
missioner In charge of highways. held
an informal conference at the Dis
trict building with a large group of
truck owners and statesmen. After an
hour of discussion Maj. Bessoa said
he would consider the points brought
out and submit recommends tions to
the Commissioners.
Il think" said Mai. Besson later,
that II we can prevent overlooking
of trucks and running on rims and
wornout tires the Commissioners will
be satisfied"
The consensus of opinion at the
conference was that each size of
truck should be kept to the load it
10 fix one maximum load limit for
all trucks.
Maj. Besson expressed the belief
that large truck properly loaded
does not do as much damage to the
streets as a smaller one overloaded.
made to the recent hauling of large
quantities Of dirt over Connecticut
avenue. where a part Of the roadway
had just been paved.
Il believe" said the major. that if
the same quantity of dirt had been
the old-style horse-drawn dump
wagons the wear on the new surface
would have been greater than it was
from the trucks. Furthermore. IL
would have required SO many more
wagons than motor trucks to haul the
dirt that there would not have been
room on the avenue for any other
vehicles"
1t has not been decided what branch
of the District service would handle
the regulation of truck loads, but it
was intimated the task might be as
signed to the sealer of weights and
measures.
Possible Recommendation.
Mai. Besson indicated that the fol-
lowing procedure might be recon-
mended to the Commissioners:
That they ascertain from the truck
manufacturing companies what the
load and size of tires should be for
each type truck.
A list of these capacities would be
kept In the office handling the prob
lem. When an owner applies for his
license the permit clerk would ascer-
tain from the list what the capacity
of that particular truck should be-
Before issuing the license the clerk
would require that the capacity be
painted clearly on the body of the
vehicle.
II this course is decided upon it
probably will be necessary to have
one or two inspectors to make rounds
of the places from which trucks load
up to see that the capacity limits are
adhered to.
