Sheild.- ReMine was host Wednes day night to his crew of truckers, his engineers and loaders and a few other guests at a buffet dinner at The Last Frontier at Gates. In his opening remarks ReMine stated the purpose of the meeting was to give his crew members a chance to understand each others problems better. Main purpose he sa.d was to haul “bigger loads legally”. Walter W. Wellard, weighmaster who most of the loggers know, as he is in the we’ghing station between Gates and Mill City, was introduced and told his job was to see that the law was enforced. He said he did not make the laws. In his remarks he -aid fhat many times with proper loading many more board feet could be hauled in each load, Sometimes when loads come in they are out of balance, which causes excessive weight on one axle and the other axle may be well within the law. They were also warned about too much over hang on loads. Many times as much as 500 feet more per load could' be hauled if loaded properly. Mr. Well ard stated however, logger? in this area were doing a good job. The truckers have reduced their viola- tions by 90% in recent months. Ralph Sipprell, director of permits for the h.ghway department spoke briefly about thework of his depart ment. He -aid that possibly the per mits would be changed in the near future, however most of the regula tions about weights and lengths would remain mu h the same as they are now. He also stressed the importance • e’. MEHAMA Continued from Pa?® 1 of load distribution in order to haul By Mr«. John Teeter« larger legal loads.
