RESULTS OF PUBLIC TRUCK WEIGHINGS Many See Ice Cuts The ice cuts of the Columbia River Highway have been a main scenic at traction of the mid-Columbia the past week, and the deep canyonH of solid ice remain practically intact. The rains that have prevailed the past few days have had practically no appreci able effect in lessening the size. If anything the precipitation has further congealed the snow and sleet deposits. Numerous local motorists have visited the ice gorges, and bus lines report that their business has been increased by sightseers from here traveling down as far as Multnomah Falls.

Cladden) Ever since the governor's special committee submitted a proposition to the special session of the legislature in December and this proposition, with a few changes, was incorporated into a state law. there has been much confu sion and misunderstanding resulting in much criticism of the traflic depart ment of the state because of certain arrests made for the violation of that law. Most of the confusion arose out of the uncertainty as to weights of cer tain makes of trucks, especially dump trucks. The traffic division of the police de partment of the city of Portland act ing under the department of public works held on March 9 on the D.-W". K. & N. scales, a public weighing of the better known dump jobs to deter mine just what 3A-ton truck would be able to comply with the law and still carry four yards of gravel, and also what trucks, even though they put on the maximum tire width, manufac tured, would be confinedjto the exces sive weight of a 3J-yard load. The ofiicial weights as obtained by the oflicers are as follows: Kiker, 3j-ton, 4-yard body, 12 inches width of tires, 16,130 pounds load on rear wheels and 9,980 pounds light weight; Mack 3J-ton, 4-yard body, 14 inches width of tires, 15,910 pounds load on rear wheels and 6,250 pounds light weight; Pierce 5-ton, 4-yard body, 12 inches width of tireB, 16,460 pounds load on rear wheels and 6,020 pounds light weight; White 5-ton, 4-yartl body, 14 inches witdth of tires, 16,920 pounds weight on rear wheels and 6,430 pounds light weight; Packard 4-ton, 4-yard body, 12 inches width of tires, 15,210 pounds weight on rear Lwheels and 5,790 pounds light weight; Sterling 34-ton, 4-yard body, 12 inches width of tires, 17,170 pounds weight on rear wheels and 6,580 pounds light weight. The results of this public weighing will be extremely interesting to the various truck operators throughout the state as well as the city, as it will give them a different idea as to what they can carry on the different make of trucks.
