DAMAGE TO COUNTRY ROADS. council takes aition. iTiy Telecraiih. -Own rorreapnmlent.j I HAMILTON", Monday. I The damage to country mail-, a- ai ri-ult of the heavy motor tniflii: and the failure of motor lorry owners In take out licenses as required by tin: Motor Vehicles Act, was discussed nl i> meet-1 iiiEt of iho. Waipa. County Council >'• ; terday. The general opinion of nn-rn- , In ra was that active steps should he; taken to compel owners of vehieic.s to | act in accordance with the trallii; rppni- j latioiiH. while it m< pointed out ! roads throughout the county being broken up by lorries carrying excessive loads during the winter months. The clerk (Mr. C. Grant) pointed out that several owners had already boon threatened with action against them, hut they continued to defy the regulations by carrying heavier loads than they were entitled to. (r. A. Livingstone: There is only one thing to do and that is to sue them. C'r. W r . McCarthy: The matter is a very difficult one to deal with. If the by-laws are fitrictly enforced it will mean that many lorries will have t" I be taken off the roads during the winter period. Many owners of heavv vehieles will have to dispose of their 2J-ton lorries if they wish to carry on for the winter. The county engineer (Mr. .T. W. Civil > agreed with the previous speaker, and adder] that the question was a very difficult one for consideration. Owners j of 2Jton lorries would be limited to a lond of half a ton. The council had 'also to consider before the end nf the ; month when the classification of roads came inlo operation. Several councillors were of opinion that, there should he a regulation t hi t the weijrht of the lorry be inserted on the side of the vehicle, and the engineer intimated that such provision had been made in the Act. T!ie entrineer asked if it was the wi-!i of the council that the winter condition regulations were to be brought into force and action taken in cases where they were not complied with. ; C'r. Livingstone considered the by- j laws should he strictly enforced. It was useless the council making by-laws unless they were prepared to stand by them. Cr. H. T. Reilly supported the sug- ' gestinn, and added that (10 per cent of motor lorry owners were breaking the council's by-laws in carrying loads in excess of what they were entitled to. It was finally resolved to take action against, the licensees of vehicles carting heavier loads over county roads than that, provided for by the regulation-. The council also'decided to enforce the regulation making it necessary for owners to have the weight, uf the lorry painted on the side of the vehicle, MA3AL CATARRH.
