Wide Tire Law Attacked

New York, 1895

The farmers who are interested in the wide tire law should get together. The validity of the law is to be contested. The Supervisors have declined to appoint counsel to uphold the law on the trial. THE FARMER is of the opinion that the board should have done this, first, because it is the board's statute; secondly, because the enforcement of the law is essential to the preservation of the macadamized roads, and the lessening of the expense of maintaining them. It is to be hoped that John O'Donnell and other leading farmers will see to it that competent counsel is employed, if the hat has to be passed around to pay him.
