The snow has been settling fast during
the past week, but still there is from
two 10 four feet in the roads at present
and when horse steps outside you al
most lose him.
1t was found that the snow had be-
come SO deep and heavy upon the roof
OF the toll bridge as to cause serious
danger TO the structure. The first
warning was when two rafteIs snapped
of. A crew of men has been busy for
several days shoyeling it off 1t is
rather ticklish place to work on as a
fall from the top would mean about go
f, ct to the ice below.

An attempt was made last week to
smooth the roads down with the road
machine. 1t worked all right on Main

the hubs and requiring all the team S
strength 10 draw them out.
