When thine WARNING! to truck owners and drivers Y•, T�'•� URING'the months of March and April, it is against 1J, the law to load certain trucks and other vehicles on the highways of Ontario above one half of their rated. This applies to all vehicles having a. carrying capacity of one-half ton or more If equipped with solid tires and of one ton or more if equipped with pneumatic tires, whether motor driven or horse drawn. It applies on every high- way in the Province outside cities and towns. The Government requests owners and drivers of trucks and wagons to 'obey this reason- able provision, but warns them that the', penalties of 'The Highways Act will be vigorously enforced against those who neglect to do so. Frost heaves the soil, and leaves it soft, porous and wet. For these reasons, it is at once the greatest fertilizer of the land and the greatest menace to the road. Foundations of hard -surfaced roads are wet and spongy in spring, even.. -When the top is dry. Heavy loads "churn" them. Fractures take place in the founda- tions. The surface thus is left weak because unsupported. On stone and macadam roads, heavy, loads cut' the surface as well, The "metal" is forced down into the sub -grade through the spongy earth: abuse of an road in Expensive repairs follow the y spring time. In an hour one single truck may cause damage which will cost thousands of dollars and take weeks to repair. As contributions to road building come from local .municipalities as well as the Province, such abuses are, a particular offence Lutanist enterprising contmttnities which provide good roads. In their interest, as well as that of the public at large, the Government makes this request and issues this warning.
