Tliis is the widening of tlie tires ased on vehicles designed to carry heavy loáds. The most pressing need of all is the eubstitution of tires which rojl roada and preserve and smooth them i'or snch as ent the beet highways i" pieces, swiftly and surely . InFrauce, a country of model roads, not only are the tires of draft wagons wide, but the liinil wheels are set der apart than the front so that the inner edge of the aeeond track just laps the onterline of the forward heel. Thus a wagon with tires fonr inches wide rolls down at least seven inches wide on each gide, or .-nine [purteen in-hes altogether. Compared with such use of a roadway the American habit of hauling a heavy load on wheels set in the sanie line and with tires uot more than two Loches wide is evidently an abuse which would ruin the besl of country roads, and tlie obBervant resident i any city knows that t destroys city pavements. lt is sheer folly to permit the owners oí heavy vehicles to continue to inisu.se highways maintained at. the expense of the whole ■ imity, and it is high time that as a Brst great step toward obtaining roads Michigan should follow tlie si ampie of Massachusetts and a law strong enough to force olacing oL pro] a all (rait wagons.
