The electric road was completely tied
up for a while by the snow and blow OF
the first of last week. 1t was Tuesday
before the car got TO the South Paris
station. and Wednesday afternoon before
il reached the square. While we have
had no tremendous snow storms TINS sea-
son, il has been pretty hard winter for
the road About as soon as the snow
was well cleared off after storm, there
would come rain and freeze, covering
the track with ice which must be picked
off. There have been few days when 1t
was not necessary to keep more or less
men at work on the track.
