Balloon Tires To Help Roads.

The balloon tire is as yet too new
to tell its own story, but some Of
the reasons urged against it by its
opponents do not seem warranted by
facts. Misled, perhaps, by the I'M
doubted fact that the pneumatic tire
caused great destruction to the then
common type of hard road, the
water bound macadam, conservatives
now state that the balloon tire with
its greatly increased size of wearing
surface, will cause damage to roads
of other than cement or brick
surface.
This IS not borne out by facts al
ready recorded Of other wide tire
bearing surfaces. Heavy trucks,
equipped with double wheels and
flat, solid tires, do no damage to the
surface of the highways they use,

Beautiful Roads Impossible With
Present Advertising MefboJs

present Adver Using Methods.
No matter how good the road sur
face, the scenery cannot be consider
ed enjoyable if interrupted and
confused in the eye of the beholder
by a succession of wildly painted
advertising. signs. The movement
to beauty highways by elimination
of sign advertising gathers force,
but meets strenuous resistance from
those who contend that man has the
right to rent the land he owns for
the erection of a sign, the rent of
which will pay his taxes.
Regulation, rather than elimina-
ton, is the compromise favored by
advertising companies which secure
signrights to roadside property and
resell the space to advertisers. They
contend that the signs can not be
eliminated legally but can be
regulated as to size, color, distance
and beauty.
In this connection, it is interest
ing to observe that Kansas City,
Mo, in preparing for the convention
of hundred thousand Shriners next
June, started an antisign movement
sponsored by the Merchants
Association. Nearly all of its
members signed the petition. Many
other business men enlisted, and
some of the largest and most often
sive signs already have been taken
down voluntarily The proposed
ordinance may include street clocks,
barber poles, news and shoe shine
stands, and other sidewalk OBJ
structions.

Road damage done by such vehicles
IS from blows or pressure and not
from surface wear. 1t is, with the
modern road, almost always the
weight or the blow which damages
the road and seldom or never the
surface.
According to this, the balloon tire
should preserve rather than injure
roads, since its lessened air pressure
increases the elasticity of the cushion
between the road and the weight,
and therefore decreases the force of
any blow struck by the wheel.
