Highway Commission Contracts
for This Service During
the Winter.

The Philadelphia p, c, after IS com
plcted and ready for Use, Is > be kept
free of snow in winter, accord < To Chief
Engineer Charles NJ. Upharn of the
State Highway Commission, who WAS asked
about the matter today.
A contract has been made. he said, TO
keep the pike clean of snow when the
snowfall is three inches or more. The road
will be kept clean by snow pillow that
will be hauled by n five-ton truck. The
National Highways Transport Committee
and the War Department are the two
agencies that upheld this work, and the
cost of this goes with the State Highway
Commissions Maintenance Committee.
This snow removal the engineer said,
is an economic proposition, rs II helps TO
keep the roads In better condition When
there is big snowfall, naturally there Will
be ruts made. and the traffic will naturally
follow the ruts, thereby wearing at the
part Of the road. But when the snow IS
removed there is no chance for ruts To be
made and for that reason the traffic will
use hewhole road lr stead Of orly pert Of ii.
The work on the pike, Mr.. Jpham
said, is progressing satisfactorily On
Penny iIill he declared, getting through
the deepest rock which has peak of
L. feet, IS done now anu there Is Just
a little more to be accomplished, a
bar of three or four feet. Although the
brick paving has been layed from DIR.
Veasy's place to the Belleyuea quarry,
still the road IS not open to public
traffic, especially TO heavy trucks, SO
as TO let the brick properly settle. and
reby letting the road settle down
Tn the second contract of the pike,
which belongs to Contractor Olson,
there is 8 part of the road starting from
Frank Lackeys place that is being kept
up with stone. Now more than three
miles of the Philadelphia pike has been
completed in this section which also
means the laying of the brick. This
section Is also not yet open to traffic.
as the engineer wishes the road to properly
settle.
Mr.. Upham said that with the ex-
ception OF one person. his department
has had no trouble. whatever. with &c
residents on the pike who are in need
of coal etc This is remarkable, he said
and shows that the people are glad
that a new pike is being built.
