Is shown by the fact that 3no.ooo.ooo tona of ma terial were shipped by truck In 1919, Suppose this freight were transported In one-ton trucks.

SPEED 'M NTf.R There are many field of ahort dis tance light delivery. In which the lighter trtick is better adapted. ' How ever, when bulk hauling Is considered, the light truck's greatest asset In com parison with Its big brother Is Its speed. For a two-ton truck to trans port material as economically as a hi ivy duty model it would be n. s sary for It to travel at three times the speed of the lirger truck;. Of cour the light truck cannot do thtsl hut It does travel at a considerably 1 higher normal speed. Ita Increased; speed, however, produces road wear; In excess of that caused bv the heavy.

It Is not necessary that the heavy duty truck resort TO destructive road speed ! in order to furnish economical trans- j portatlon.

A 7 1-2 ton truck has one Inch of tire width for each 1 606 pounds of weight. PAIR PLAM Highway engineers have long been erned with the problem of de termining a fair plan for motor truck legislation. Th United Sfntes bureau of public roads at Washington has conducted exhaustive tests to deter mine the real causes of road wear. The conclusion should certainly receive; ireful consideration from those in - j terested in the preservation of this country's roads. The report of this tesl which appeared in the official "Public Roads" bulletin favs that road Impact Is the real cause of road wear. Realising thK the experiments were devoted to ascertaining the cause of, rond Impact. Thru thee '.est, it was decisively! shown th"t unsprung weight Is the controlling facte in rea l impact.
