FRIDAY; J1AY 22, 1836 DESTRUCTION TO HIGHWAYS Not only the , roads of the Roa noke-Chowan section, but those all over .the country, have fared badly in the last year or more under tha ter rific punishment of ' the monstrous trucks that have 'almost taken pos session of them. : i , j ? Particularly ' during the pasfc iaw months, when, unusual winter condi tions prevailed, have our roads been torn up unmercifully. The .roads were designed and built for Automo bile traffic. They were never design ed or built as runways for trucks as big as railroad freight cars and a bout as heavy. Nothing but steel rails can stand such weight, without going to pieces. The truck operators, . ever after bigger loads, more tonnage at a haul, kept on making the trucks bigger, wider, higher, longer, heavier, and kept on adding more and more tons per load. They have about gotten to the point now that they consider the roads theirs, and woe unto any mere automobile driver who does not give them all the road they want, which is all too often more than half. It is manifestly unfair to force the taxpayers and automobile own ers to keep on paying to provide and maintain roads to be used by these behemoths of the highways who tear these road beds down and endanger the lives of every motorist on the road. There most certainly should be a limit to the weight and loads carried, and some limitation to the length of the track and trailer con traptions that slither along at a mile a minute clip carrying tons of weight that should be routed over the railroads.
