The trend toward flat treads on pneumatic tires both for passenger cars and motor trucks stands out as probably the most important develop. ment in tiré congtruction and design n the ‘ast year. A thorough analysis of construction answers the question Why will flat’ treads even tual place round treads on all pneumatic In the first place, a flat tread af. fords much better traction because of greater contact area. Proof of this Biatement is easy because it is only necessary to compare the path made by a flat tread and by a round tread as left in mud or snow, according tc tire experi# of the Miller Rubber co ¥ Tread and ply separation are ng the greatest sources of trou in tre life, Usually the round ad tire begins to separate at the hou'der.

It is the proper place, because he flat tf®ul. converts the flexing point in the d tread carcass into a flexing Another point in favor of the flat tread is the lessening of deformation of the carcass. When the round tread is operated under load, the tread is pressed against the road in a posi tion approaching a flat tread. The natural contour of the-tire is in oppo sit'on to this force. Since thero is greater contact ‘area n the flat tread, the tension o the rubber is less and probability of cuts is minimized Prices f. 0. b. Buick Factor- ies; Government tax to be added.

If we are to have the roa@® in our lifetime, we must predicat& our jnitial outlay in many {nstances upon serial bond issues which will give/us and our children the toad at.a reasonable rental for itsgpse. Property values, whether in the city or @ountry, are definitely affect ed by highway improvement and we are to proceed sdundly, from a financial standpoint, the full prop- erty power of the State should be thrown behind State bond issues. The road user should be willing to pay all of the costs of maintaining the highway, not so much as a mat- ter of principle, as because his operat- ing costs will be directly influenced by the quality of the highway on which he {s driving, and when all is sald and done, the motor vehicle fee offers the most direct protection to the State’s investment in the high way, because it is an annual revenue and can be directed against an annual charge. Maintenance Fund Essential. Any use of motor fees which de fiects funds from Ahis fundamental use js viclous and should not be countenanced. It is scarcely over stating the cage to say that construc tion of a road, save In emergency Purposes, without an assured mainte- nance fund is criminal misuse of public funds and should be punished as such. It {s also important that county systems bear some relation to State improvement, as otherwise the less important highway might be im- proved at the expense of the more {mportant—as stated in /terms of traffic, the only fair measure. The program is so large and such large funds are at issue that we must weigh all of the factors carefully when planning any construction. Varying conditions, varying stages of evelopment, render impossible sny definite, detailed statement of policy applicable to all alike. But the important thing is that we must not ostrich-like bury ourselves in the detail and so lose sight of the objective.
