NEW ROAD MACHINE FOR ANSON
Road Agent Pullen has just pur-
chased a new road machine to be used
on the highways of Arson the coming
summer. 1t is what might be termed
a finishing machine and can be easily
drawn by one pair of horses. After
the big machine has gone over the
road, this new machine can complete
the work at great deal less expense,
and it Is claimed, do better work. 1t
is expensive work for the town to have
a six-horse team travelling backward
and forward over the road to do the
finishing when lighter machine with
one pair of horses can do the work
Just as we'll or better. Mr.. Pullen
intends to purchase pair of horses
this spring to be used on the highways,
and it is a move in the right direction
for him to do So A road agent
should have his own team. 1t great
" facilitates the work from what 1t
is to depend on outside help, which in
many instances is difficult to obtain
when wanted.
