Forecasts have been made a phase Of
khe work OF the United States Weather
Bureau in several States. and so vaiu-
hble has the service proved to be, that
national demand for its extension is
bringing up.
The service was first inaugurated in
ne winter OF 1s17-1s. when the
Weather Bureau, in cooperation with
the state highways commission OF
Pennsylvania, established and main
t2ined the initial project in a public
service which has become known as
~the highway weather service"
The project grew out of war con-
ditions as related to motor truck serv-
Zee for the transportation OF supplies
ever the Lincoln Highway between
Pittsbprgh and Harrisburg, Pa Its
activities consisted Of daily reports
from q number Of points along the
route OF the state OF the road as af-
fected by the amount and condition Of
the snow cover. Reports were made
by assistant sgperintendents of high
ways and were sent to the official in
charge OF the Weather Bureau office
~ Pittsburgh, who. bulIetined the in
formation and furnished Ii to news
papers for publication. That official
also issued warnings Of heavy SHOWS
for that portion OF the road crossing
tho mountains Of western PenusyI-
Eaniay which he distributed locally
and telegraphed to the State Superin-
