Short-Line Railroads Doomed by
 Gasoline Carriers, Says Stiles

Stiles of the Tonhustler company of Chicago, asserted that the transportation system of the United States would see greater changes during the next 10 years than it had during the past 50 years. The state ment was made at q banquet given by upwards of q score of employees Of the company, which is now engaged in hauling gravel on the state ald road from Union Springs Co Mont gomery.
 Mir. Stiles, in discusssion of this age of speed. stated that the fleXi- bility, speed and dependabtlity of trucks, together with the eheagness of haul had spelled the doom of short haul lines, on which the average hauling rate was but 9 few miles daily and the average price for 1922 S7 cents per mile He predicted that in few years nearly all cities would have lines of trucks running out in all directions in their trade territory.
