Worley has plainly and forcefully empha-
sized the Importance of planning and build
ing highway bridges that will be capable
of carrying as heavy loads as the highways.
"For example," said Worley "a nine-axled
vehicle is highly practical. Such vehicle
would have gross weight of $4,000
pounds, and it would not over-stress any
highway, but it would be different mat
ter when it comes to bridges. In short,
modern and sound engineering designs call
for complete highway structures with no
weak parts. That doesn't mean much adj
ditional cost-in fact less than 3 per cent
would provide bridges with a carrying
capacity that would even up all carrying
capacities as contemplated in the Inter-
state Highway System. And that would be
sound engineering, sound administration
and in the interest of the public welfare.

Better Roads And Bridges

The U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, the
Illinois Highway Division and the En-
cheering Department of the University OF
Michigan have gone to town" demanding
modern roads and stronger bridges Doc
tor H. NJ Westergaard, Dean of the Gradu-
ate School of Harvard University supports
these experts and states that it is an il
fusion for anybody to believe that modern
highways are overloaded by truck and
trailer traffic
Professor Worley of the University of
Michigan recently pointed out before
convention of the American Association Of
Highway officials in Los Angeles that there
was a sound basis to call upon Washing
ton, National and State legislatures to pass
much-needed legislation to modernize the
regulation, and support multiple-axled
trailers in the contribution they are max
ing to the public service with motor trucks
and trailers. Professor Worley was con-
vincing in his address to the highway Off
Gals in Los Angeles. He explained the
mechanics of trucks and trailers and show
GU L1ldL IllS10 10 uO 4OulludL1O1 4OI Vic
popularized and propagandized theory that
these vehicles overload modern highways.
AS matter of fact there is a demand
for modern legislation governing the use of
multiple-axled trailers because they are
contributing abundantly to public service
and motor transportation.
According to Professor Worleys re-
search and investigations combination of
vehicles with series of axles placed AZ
inches apart could have gross load of
over 100000 pounds without over-stressing
the paving surface. However, Worley
points out, there is no practical design for
substitute vehicles. Nevertheless, his re-
port completely explodes the statement
that any vehicle in modern use today is
overlooking any highways. But Professor
