This week also saw the big truck
legislation get started when pub
lic hearings were held on House
Bill 44, to permanently raise the
size of trucks to some 71,000 in
stead of 64,000, pounds. The truck
men used to ask for 68.000 pounds
but have gone up in their estimates
of how big a truck should be.
The bill is o hardy perennial,
having been around Salem for lo,
these many years, and always hav
ing been decided in favor of the
railroads instead of the trucks,
however, the state has permitted
large trucks during the war.
There isn't much else but there
