SNOW COST TO
 STATE S125,OOO

Keeping highways in fit condition despite the disastrous blizzarlS which have marked the winter of 1920 has been found a very difficult proposi- tion," says Arthur L. Clark of the A. L. Clark Co. Peerless distributors of this city.
 Maintenance of an army of 800 men, 100 motor trucks, blows and tractors to keep upon 300 miles of State roads cost the Connecticut State Highway Department $125,000, and also proved a strain on the purses of the various cities. Connecticut, like many other states, decided early in the year to spare nothing to throw off | the burden of snow where it inter fered with arteries of transportation and business.
 l Over 900 miles of State roads were attached by the highway department 1 in all parts of the state at a cost of | about $100 a mile. So great had been 1 the strain that dozens of the heavy army trucks donated by the War De- partnlent broke down under the pres sure. It cost Hartford about 30 cents a cubic yard to remove its snow, an
 estimate based on the 15-inch depth beginning February 5th and subse- Quent thaws.
 'To facilitate prompt work in breaking out roads, the highway de-
 partment force was divided into 15 districts covering the entire State
 and these districts were further di- vided into sub districts the respon- sibilfty for which was put upon a
 foreman. Thus a truck line highway
