| Maryland Alters
Ruling to Allow
| Full Fuel Loads
Rx the As,oeiofed Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 23-The State
Roads Commission yesterday altered
a load limitation ruling on Mary
lands highways to permit fuel
carrying vehicles to carry full LOADS
Last Tuesday the commission
temporarily placed limit OF 10000
pounds gross weight on all two
axled trucks and $4,000 pounds on
three-axled vehicles to lessen the,
damage to highways because OF the
rapid thaw.
Yesterday that ruling was changed
to permit fuel trucks to carry up to
40 900 pounds gross weight on all
main highways except the Phila-
delphia road from the Delaware line
to Baltimore and the Annapolis
highway. The limit on those two
was set at $4,000 pounds.
In effect, however, this permits full
loads for virtually all fuel carriers,
a commission official explained, be-
cause fuel-loaded vehicles seldom
exceed $4,000 pounds.
The waiver on the fuel carriers
was requested by the State fuel CO.
ordinator' office.
