Tests Show Frost
Damage To Roads

st. Paul, MINI. = up - A Min
nesota highway engineer has de-
veloped a method of determining
how much backbone" is taken out
of roads by spring thaws. Highway
engineers in the nations frost
belt" have long known highways
are most vulnerable just after frost
leaves the ground. But how much
roads are weakened and what load
weight restrictions should be i'm
posed have in the past been arrived
at by sometimes costly trial and
error.
c. L. Motl, chief engineer for the
Minnesota highway department,
has set up a bearing test" A metal
plate IL inches in diameter is
placed on the highway. The plate

serves as a base for hydraulic
jack which is made to lift the rear
of a truck loaded with concrete
blocks. A meter registers the
amount the road surface is de-
pressed.
BY making bearing tests in the
summer, when roads are dry and
least likely to be damaged by heavy
vehicles, and again after spring
thawing, the per cent the road has
been weakened is determined and
restrictions are imposed according
ly. Motl says road surfaces are
sometimes go per cent less capable
of carrying loads just after thaw-
ing.

WILLARD FRASER BLASTS TAFT.HARnEY LAW
At TRAlnmEN Meeting m BILLINGS

No one denies that Industrial peace
IS greatly to be desired. No one de-
MES that uninterrupted production
should be the goal of management and
labor. 1t seems to me, that both
these ~contending groups should recog-
nize that their very existence would
in the end depend upon their reach
ing mutually beneficial compromises
through collective bargaining and vol.
untary giving and taking. 1t would
further seem to me that neither one
side or the other could afford to ig-
nor the fact that excuses Of either
labor or management will even en-
danger the both to extreme legisla-
ton as the Taft Hartley law.
l do not believe the present hate
ridden congress thought through the
effects of the Taft-Hartley law. 1t
did rot stand up tc the propaganda
aroused public Observation-Disclosures
ton which vented itself in encroach-
ing upon constitution guarantees for
free men. 1t did not think through
the ramification Of administration
and enforcement, or the Implications
OF throwing to the courts the burden
OF settling the highly technical prob
lem Of our industrial relations, courts
which l believe in due time will throw
out those sections which ~jeopardize
individual rights.

Petitions Being Circulated
Against Parking Meters

Montana cities having parking meters.
In many areas of the state. sentiment
for and against parking meters runs
high.
BY 1916 nearly 500 us. cities had
parking meters taking an annual toll
estimated at more than $500, 900.
City administrators look upon this
revenue as necessary income In these
days Of municipal financing prob
lens. Many citizens, however. are be.
coming alarmed at this system OF tax
Ing which in effect. 1t is claimed, does
nothing fundamental in solving the
growing traffic problems in crowded
cities and at the same time reaches
into the pockets Of citizens for a take
that is a sure thing for parking meter
outfits who get theirs first" in the
meter purchasing program.
Those favoring the initiative meas
ure to outlaw parking meters point
out that in most cities the "curbstone
bandits" are installed on the claim
they will force rapid turnover OF park
ing stalls Yet Immediately after
installation many cities have set up
2-hour meters. The 2-hour meters do
not relieve the parking problem and
their installation only fortifies the
argument that parking meters are not
regulating traffic but are for raising
ven Tor city administrators and
parking meter companies.-F.U. News
Montana labor news., 1948-06-03

A move Is underway in Montana to
outlaw parking meters in Montana
through initiative measure. Pat ].
Hagarty, Miles City businessman, is
leading the movement.
The Montana Supreme Court recent
ly ruled in favor Of parking meters.
The suit originated in Missoula where
the city had entered into an agree
ment with a parking mster company
for installation. OF 500 meters to be
paid for out OF receipts Of the meters.
Many farmers were interested In
the Montana Supreme Court decision
on the parking meter suit because
they do much buying and selling in
the Montana cities having meters.
A temporary restraining order was
issued against the city by District
Judge Albert Besancon at the request
of two Missoula residents on the
claim that the agreement between
the city and the Duncan Meter Corp.
was in reality a franchise and there
fore required the approval Of a ma
jority Of the qualified electors.
The appeal to the Montana Supreme
Court was made because the trial
court had declared that in its judg-
ment. approval OF the meter by the
voters would make their use legal.
Main arguments OF those opposing
the meters were as follows:
l. Parking meter taxing is a charge
for use OF the streets and is the same
as establishing a toll road prohibited
by the constitution.
2. The use of parking meters for
and not for traffic regulation
Is prohibited by laws governing cities.
3. Parking meter ordinance is class
legislation because only those with
money get parking privileges.
Outcome Of the ease was watched
with interest by a number OF other
