Truckers Threaten Highways At Illinois Meet
O J Banton reports at the Springfield session that heavy trucks are growing in mileage while passenger cars fall in annual miles from 9946 in 1946 to 9020 in 1951.

Roads now insufficient and being worn faster than built, Roebuck warned, praising Illinois truck license laws but fearing legislative lobbying to weaken them.
