Highway Dept. Says No
to Raising Restriction
Warns Ely-Tower Road Faces
Smaller Load Limit Be-
fore Spring Ends.

The state department of highways
cannot raise the load restriction on
the Ely-Tower road, because ut might
al proportion to any benefit that
might be extended to truck haulers, .
c. L. Mott, department maintenance
engineer, has informed the Ely Com
mercial club.
At its last meeting. the club asked
the highway department to raise the
load restriction until later in the
spring, stating that it had been placed
too early and that the road bed was
still frozen solid The club pointed
out that the restriction would prevent
timber operators from fulfilling con-
tracts due April l..
In letter to Ray Hoefler, club Sec
rotary, Mott said he would not favor
gambling with the situation at this
time, particularly as it concerns only
a few days more of traffic use"
Motl continued that 81 presume you
are familiar with the disastrous results
we had last year in not being strict
enough with load restrictions, nor
placing them early enough in the
year TO protect the surface against
breakups.
Serious damage to the surface crust
usually takes place very early in the
spring." he said, "as soon as the thaw-
ing extends below the surface crust.
At that particular time the soil under
meath the crust becomes very unstable
and heavy loads crack up the surface,
which permits the moisture to get
down through the cracks into the sub
grade. After this take place it is only
a short time before the road goes to
