Show h i4 n c H j FUNNY, ISN'T IT? HH The Lehi farmer had to drive his trac- Hl tor pulling the threshing machine , some distance along on the concrete highway Hj before he came to the bitiilithic tvne of J I'oad where the tractor pulled large jHH;' chunks of pavement im. leaving holes in jH the highway, but strange to say W. D. HLj ' Rishel of Salt Lake City who is demand- i' ' ing the arrest and prosecution of the Le- j i hi farmer for damaging the "bitulithic" Wl I'oad, says nothing about the tractor and H i threshing machine doing anv damage to H the concrete road over which it traveled 1 ' the same hot day it inrured the "soft ton" H highway. H The editor of the Kaysvile Reflex very jjH appropriately stated the other day after jjH hearing about the damaged road: flH "Isn't it queer that this condition was H not thought of by the state road commis- H sion when it specified bitulithic for road H construction? The commission and the. HH bitulithic boosters knew the characteris- H tics of the black goo hard as flint and Hi slick as glass in winter and soft as stiff H mud in summer. In selecting a material H for our pei mauent roads the commission H "will onio day learn that they must spe- H cil'y a material which is suited to fawn HH traffic as well as joy riding. If farm ma- BB chineiy is to be barred from the roads. HH , farmers should not be taxed to build HH them." Box Elder Journal. |
