The last Pbenx says; Lieut.. Gov. Full
Ter aud Col. Hooker came home from their
visit last week to Orleans and Caledonia
counties thorough converts to the system
of making our Vermont winter roads with |
snow rollers They left the cars at Barton
% Orleans county, 90 miles from the Can
ida line and were driven from there to
West Glover, distance Of about 3 miles,
over roller made road That region got
lie full benefit Of the big snow storm two
weeks ago and the road in question is by
10 means a sheltered or protected one
,ut the distance was easily made in %
MINUTES with an average pair OF horses aud
pung sleigh. The road was mooth and
Iard, ana wide enough for two TENS all
he way, The roller used there is IL feet
vide aud weighs about $500 lbs. Among
he people OF those towns there is only one
pinion about winter roads, and it is that
now rollers are the only proper or econom-
,al things to make them with A man
rom Albany in the same county told Col.
locker that year ago trial OF the two
ystems was made on two nearly parallel
pads between two points. On the road
here the roller was used the cost OF break
,g roads for the winter was $25; on the
Dad where the old way Of ploughing out I
as practieed the cost was Sl35. A West
urke Caledonia county, man told Gov
uller Of an instance known to him where
wo years ago it cost the town $500 to |
eep open certain mountain road. Last
inter roller was used and the cost for
he season was 5000.
