War opens on overloading
State Roads Commission crews aided by State police enforce load limits across the state amid damage from severe weather. Two axle trucks face a 16 000 pound limit and three axle trucks 24 900 pounds as officers stop up to 60 trucks a night on a single highway. Bus lines reroute or reduce loads as authorities cite violations and magistrates handle cases. The thaw after a harsh winter has left muck under highways, causing breaks under heavy traffic.
