EXPLAINS TRUCK USE
“Pedler Freight Trains” Superseded
Explanation of the new policy of
the Pennsylvania Railroad of using
motor trucks instead of “pedler
freight trains” where possible, is
made by Robert C. Wright, general
traffic manager of the Pefinsylvania
System. He says:
“It is evident that a freight train
| can not compare with a light vehicle
able to move at high speed. Local
| freight service handling small pack:
| ages has become an increasing bur-
den. Just how big a territory this
plan should include, economically
| speaking, I am unable to say off-
hand, but probably it would extend
twenty-five miles from any large
city.
| “The tonnage of this class han.
| dled by the trucks has been con-

“How far is it?” is the first ques-
tion the perspective buyer asks of
the real estate man who wants to
show him a suburban home or a
farm.
He doesn’t want to know how far
it is in miles, however. He wants
to know in minutes or hours. “It
is thirty minutes from the corner of
Main and State Streets” tells the
story. “It is seven miles out” does
not. For ‘seven miles may mean
seventy minutes, if the road is poor
whereas “thirty minutes” is definite.
A man has only so much time tc
| stantly growing and ours going
{ down, but we have been compellec |
| to operate the same number of
| trains and crews, to bear all the
| costs of operation, taxation, and
| dozen other things. So we decided
to select three busy sections of road
and see what we could do with #
| combined service. Results have
{ been even better than anticipated,
| but it is a little early to reach con-
| clusions. If the plan proves prac-
| ticable in every way, it may be the
{ forerunner of a motorized service
|
{ for all our small local shipments,
| The public is not affected in any
way.
“There are many economics which
do not appear at first sight. If a
woman in Philadelphia . wants to
the Wilmington lines, she must first
buy a packing case worth $12, and
I
oy the piano is handled eight
| times. But she can telephone 2
| trucking company, throw an old |
| quilt or two over the piano, and |
{ have it moved to its destination.
|
She makes a considerable personal
ge economic loss i
saving and a lar
avoided.
“We have no intention of goins
into the trucking business. We wisi
the trucking companies would take
all of this small business. There is
no prospect of such an arrangement
for a long time to come, however,
because it is not probable that we
could be relieved of our responsibil
ity as carriers at this stage of de-
velopment. Yet it is beyond ques-
tion that a house-to-house delivery
by truck of small parcels in con-
gested territory is a better plar
than shipment by railroad, or rail
and truck, with additional truck
deliveries made necessary at either
end.”

CONCRETE SATISFIES
AS ROAD MATERIAL
Stone and Cement Makes Long
Wearing Highway
Concrete roads, properly made
with good portland cement, offer
considerable choice of basic mater-
ials, according to the local market,
and a satisfactory long wearing
road when completed. For suburb-
an and rural roads concrete is an
ideal road material. Concrete con-
sists of a mixture of water, cement,
sand, and gravel or stone of many
varieties. Engineers call the sand
part the ‘fine aggregate,” and the
pebbles or rock the “coarse aggre-
gate.” Given clean aggregates and
and good cement and the road when
finished will be durable, dustless,
easily maintained, and smooth.
The two disadvantages, cracking
and breaking at the edges, can both
be overcome. Cracking, a result of
temperature changes, and stress
does little or no harm if the
promptly filled. Proper shoulde 3
at the edge of the road eliminates
the dangerous depression caused by
the earlier neglect of this part of
the road building, before it was un-
derstood how water and weather
wear away the edge-protecting
earth.
The two general types of concrete
pavement are known as one-course
and two-course pavement. The for-
mer consists of one course of con-
crete, all of which is mixed in the
same proportion and composed of
the same kind of materials, while
the latter consists of two courses,
usually mixed in different propor-
tions and containing different kinds
of aggregate. The one-course pave-
ment is much simpler to construct
than the two-course type.
In the two-course type of con-
struction local course aggregate of
average or low wearing qualities is
used in the lower course and im-
ported aggregate with high resist-
ance to wear is used in the top
course. If the only materials lo-
cally available for use as aggregate
are of inferior quality, it is more
economical to use them for aggre-
gate in the lower course of a two-
course pavement and import aggre-
gate for the wearing course than to
employ a one-course pavement and
import all the aggregate.

WANTS GOVERNMENT
TO TAKE OVER ROAD
Bankhead National Highway Mili-
tary Asset
Statistics gathered from State
Highway Commissioners, Chambers
of Commerce, Automobile Clubs.
and others, have been compiled by
Bankhead National Highway officials
as ammunition in the campaign to
have the road taken over by the Na-
tion, to build its less improved por-
tions and maintain it in perpetuity
The Bankhead National High-
way Association, which has gatherec
the data, states that a committee of
leading citizens from each of the
thirteen States the highway travers
es will go to Washington and urge
the passage of the measure.
The Bankhead National Highway
has been recognized by the Federa’
Government. The board of offi-
cers who accompanied the Trans
Continental Military Convoy which
traversed the road from Washing-
ton to San Diego across the conti-
nent, stated it was the most feasible
military route across the country.
Beginning at the zero milestone at
Washington the road goes through
thirteen States—Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Ala-|
bama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, and California, ending at
San Diego.
Officials estimate that more than
1,600,000 people traveled over the
road last year.
