WASSER IS SPEAKER
BEFORE ROAD BOARD

CHICAGO. Jan. 16.-National reg
u!atory measure to govern the opera
ton of motor vehicles and construc-
ton of public highways were recon-
mended by State Highway Engineer
Thomas j.. Wasser of New Jersey.
speaking at the opening of the thir-
teenth annual congress of the Amer
lean Road Builders Association OF
which he is the president. A three
day session of the association was
opened here today.
Mr.. Wasser devoted considerable
time to the discussion of commercial
vehicles. Trucks, he said. are re-
sponsible for great damage to high
ways over which they traverse. To
remedy this, the New Jersey road
builder advocated the passage of a.
bill providing that overloaded
trucks, when apprehended, be seized
and held for a period of not less than
five days, stored at the owners risk
and expense, coupled with a fine.
He further commended that when
q hauling company, which contracts
for shipments by the ton, is caught
in the act Of overlooking its trucks,
q bill should be passed making a re-
vocation of their license mandatory
on the part of officials.
Mr.. Wasser would nave the issu-
ance of automobile drivers license
limited to citizens Of the United
States only, with provisions for tour
lists of other countries. Under the
Jerseyman's plan, all applicants
would also be compelled to furnish
a statement from a physician certi-
flying his mental and physical fitness
to operate a vehicle.
In reference Il road construction
n uniform width of pavement of
thirty feet was recommended by Mr..
Wasser. Such a roadway, he said,
should be free from sharp curves.
steep grades, and all other obstruc-
tions.
