Very few people are so hard to move as the average farmer on a matter of tils Mnd. He _ may â€" ‘have it proved to him that a wide tire â€"~ is better for the roads, better for lis .. horses, his wagon, his harness, but he has never lad a wide titre wheel _ and he hates to begin. The simplest meâ€" thod is to put a tax on narrow tired vehictes. Owners of such should be required to take out a license within a certain period after the passing _ of an act by the legislature. ‘The new _ good roads commission â€" should iake this up. There is nothing that doés â€"*~ more damaze to roads than the cut C ding of deep oruts byâ€" narrowâ€"tired ~â€"â€" wieets.

The result is most raluable, _ and the heavier the traflic the better the condition of the road, the effect _ being equal to a sftceession of rollings.

The fine roads built by the York Highways Commission are bAng â€"cut to pieces by the antiquated tires of the covaty farmers. â€" ‘There is no â€" sense and certainly no cconomy in. permitâ€" 4ng the narrow tire to continue _ its destructive work. â€" The World‘s arraignment of the deâ€" structive narrow tire and request for consideration by the newly appointed good roads Commission is _ timely. The subject is not a new one, howâ€" ever. As many of our readers will re« member, as early as 1885 â€" twentyâ€" eight yi‘m’s agoâ€"Mr. E. W. B. Snider M.P.P., . then member for North Watâ€" erloo, introduccd a bill in the Legisâ€" Jature which if adopted would_ _have practically settled the narrow thre gquestion and removed the necessity for action at the present time. The bill fixed four inches as the minimum width of tizes for all vehicles of one ton capacity and over. In tiks matâ€" ter, however,â€"as also later in _ the matter of Niagara _ power â€" Mr. Snider‘s idea proved far in _ advance of the time. "Narrow Tires; Poor Roads.‘" Mr. W. A.
