Hefore the advent of the automobile, when the tralllc consisted of horse drawn vehicles, equipped for the most part with Iron tints, water bound mae ttitimi was the standard eons truct Ion for praetlcally all mads except those carrying the heaviest twlllc. Itnt pres ent tralllc condition are different. The vehlelcH using the roads consist not vnly of horse drawn vehicles equipped nith Iron tires, but also of motor driv en vehicles equipped with rubber tires. Moreover, these two dissimilar kinds ure found tu varying proportions.
