hem 10 Hi some important SuScFu' |
nent position.
We are glad to see that other towns
are becoming aware of the benefit of
road rollers for breaking winter roads.
Our town has one that has been used
on the river road the present winter.
1t has saved many dollars to the town
and been great convenience to the
public. Turning out can
be done without cutting down, and the
edge Of the road being rolled fiat, the
snow blows over, instead of filing in
as it does when plowed with deep
burrows on the sides. Our selectmen
are planning to have, at least, half a
dozen road rollers constructed for
next winters use. Besides road roll
ers a few snow fences will save the
town many dollars. A snow fence
200 fit. long was constructed four
years ago where drift had always
occurred that cost the town from SO
to $40 each winter, but since the
fence was built the town has not had
dollars expense on the "kenny"
drift. The great expense of keeping
winter roads open, to say nothing of
the greater convenience of having
good, instead of poor roads, ought to
be of sufficient consequence to call
the attention of every town to all i'm
provements in the direction of econ
omy and convenience.
