Hauling

~ HE Indiana Supreme Court, in
III a decision Tuesday, upheIJ
Ll the "heavy-hauling act" This
law prohibits q load of more than
$500 pounds, including the vehicle,
on roads in bad condition, unless the
vehicle has tires five inches wide.
The decision will be pleasing to
the highway commission. It is dis.
couraging 20 road makers-and de
-bilitating to funds--to have high.
way surfaces cut to pieces in wet
weather by overloaded vehicles.
Construction Of highway involves
not only a financial problem, but
also a serious technical problem.
The better the roads the bigger
the loads that will be hauled over
them. It's an amending conflict be.
tween construction and destruction
like the naval race between the
penetrative force Of projectiles and
the resistive power of armor-plate.
Somewhere along the line, build.
ing road surfaces to withstand the
heaviest possible traffic, without
damage, construction costs become
prohibitive.
A plug Of tobacco carried In the
hip-pocket may be too great a load
for some Indiana roads. On Others
even all profanity must be thrown
overheard before vehicles can
traverse them without damage.
Consequently only by rightly i'm
posing limits on the weights of
vehicles and contents, to suit the
condition and character of the high
ways, will the roads best serve the
greatest number.

The purpose Of the measure is to

other works of civilization.

with its mystifying and powerful
currents is sometimes called.
The American was in good form

weather, She had, however, kept
herself in fit condition thru walking
