ARMY TRUCKS FOR
ME. HIGHWAY DEPT.

The Maine Highway Commission
has particular reason to be pleased
with the end of the war, as it is now
beneflting through the distribution to
the various states of the surplus ma
terlal that can be made useful in the
construction of highways. Chief En-
gineer Paul D. Sargent has been at
work for several weeks in looking
after Names quota and is now look
ing with satisfaction upon the re-
suits. He said on Thursday:
I'VE have already received two of
the trucks, they coming overland I'M
der their own power. Eight more
are on cars at the Maine Central sta
ton and are being unloaded today.
Forty-one more are somewhere en-
route by rail. Fifty three more have
been assigned us for future shipment.
The only expense to the State is the
cost of handling and the freight. The
trucks are of various capacities AMI
makes and over half of them are
brand new. never having been used
day.
These trucks will Immediately re
put into service in highway CON
struction throughout the State and
you can we'll imagine the great help
they will be in fastening the work.
about which very natural desire
for early completion is everywhere
felt. not only by the public but the
commission. With the difficulty of
securing the necessary teams and
men for highway work they will be
almost invaluable.
I'VE shall until they are sent into
the work. temporarily store them in
the mule sheds on the state camp
ground, Camp Keyes. of which Adj.
Gen. Presson has kindly granted us
the use. But, you may be assured
that they will not be long idle. such
is the demand for that kind of help
in our work.
Now, beside the army trucks, we
have also secured Is automobiles for
use in our work. which will mean a
tremendous saving of time and en-
able a man to attend to M, Oh more
work in the same time than by the
old method Of covering tho ground.
The lot consists of 10 Fords. two
Bucks one Chandler. one National
and one Maxwell.
when we get all these trucks and
autos in commission. we will be far
better equipped for rushing along the
highway than ever and hope that the
results will be as pleasing to the
public as we expect them to be to
