Truckin Ordinance
A report was _received from Committee No. 2 recommending,
that the trucking. ordinance (Ordinan e No. 617) be not repealed.
The caamittee. believes that the: miisuriderstar�ding in regard' to
the enforcement of ,the ordinance arises from th fact that a
truck registered -aS a: one . and one-half ton truck can actually
carry a much greeter load and, that: It is not ,,thusuai for such
trucks to carry -a load of .five ,sons; or more. Many trucks
registered 'as 1053than .:two -tor ,trucks- are therefore -complying
with the provisions of the present .ordin_anre which prohibits
trucks with .a veight capacity -Of two tons : or more from operatir
on certain _streets. The, present ordinance does keep many
larger trucks from going ° thrrough - the city The committee
believes that any substitute ordinance:would be impractical.
Y
On motion of Mosher ; and: Mrs. Nerrier, the report of
Committee No. 2 was approved.
