By E. E. DUFFY
Hauling goods and produce by
motor truck has become such a
buatnese in the United States that
communities can no longer afford
to build highways that will not
bear the full traffic burden eeoj
aomically.
Farmers, for instance, have in
creased their market radius from
that not*so-long-ago period when «-0
miles was a good day’s hauling dis
tance for two or four horses, tooths
present when loads weighing two
or three times as much mav bo
carried fifty ipU«s or mort over
good roads by. motor trucks.
Speed in transportation means
fneney to the farmer lh more wjya
than one, as this instance’cited in
a recent report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission indicates.
Saves Shrinkage
A farmdr in Minnesota notesthat
Fhen his poultry shipments a?e
made by rail there is a shrinkage
in weight of five or six pounds per
mute.. Delivery by truck, accom
pUshed quickly over the 50-mi’e
highway leading to Minneapolis,
brings a .shrinkage of i>n!y one
pound. ’ 1
Trucking by motor Is such a new
thing, comparatively speaking, that
for the most part there Is ignorance
of its extent. In many communi
ties the bulk of short haul ship
ments is made by motor truck.
An analysis of shipping between
Columbus and 30 Ohio cities, ac
cording to the Interstate Commerce
'Commission report, shows that for
hauls of less than 20 milM about
S 5 per cent of the totaHs by truck.
Fbr longer distances, truck hauling
naturally decreases, but up to 30
miles trucks absorb more than half
of the business.
Livestock Hauled
The importance of the motor
truck is emphatically stressed in
the business of hauling livestock
to market. Three and a third mil
lion hogs were carted by motor
truck In 1925 to 15 markets, slightly
more than one-tenth of all ship
ments. _ ;
Also 5 per cent of the sheep, more
than 12 per cent of the calves, and
4.6 per cent of the cattle traveled
de luxe on rubber tires to these
markets. In Indianapolis in 1913
only 4.5 per cent of the hogs com-

The front of the new “75” Chrysler roadster, showing
the “air-wing” fenders, thermostatic radiator and other
innovations, the new models are attracting wide attention
at the showrooms of H. B. Leary, /r. & Bros.
ing into market , were shipped by
truck; in 1923, one-third.
This tremendous industry of using
the public highways for trucking
the nation’s produce must be given
prime consideration in planning
future road programs. Substantial
roads that will not succumb to
heavy pounding truck Wheels must
be built by'each community so that
It may not only compete on an
even basis with its neighbor, not
only so that the Individuals actively
engaged in hauling may profit, but
also in order that the public itself
may attain the full advantages that
go with cheap and rapid transporta
tion. Motor trucks are here to stay;
roads should be built to.carry them.
HIGHWAY COMPLETED
A modem highway 300 miles‘in
length now links two of Brasil’s
great cities—Rio de Janeiro and Bao
Paulo; one the capital of the repub
lic, the other the capital of a state.
This road is eight meters broad,
with maximum grades of 6 per
cent. There are 19 reinforced con
crete bridges. , About 20 miles -of
the route is constructed of mac
adam. 70 miles is of crushed clay
and gravel, while macadam silicate
is used on other parts of the road.
Along the route are numerous
smaller cities, towns and villages.
