NEW WONDER WORKER
" FOR DIRT ROADS HERE

When the State Highway Depart

war supplies, there was included a
14-ton caterpillar tractor.
At first it appeared that this heavy
implement would be nothing more than
a I,;S>Sa the hands of the depart
ment as its original purpose was to
haul heavy guns. A way has been
found, however, to make good use of it
in road maintenance work.
Because of its weight che tractor,
naturally, cannot be used on any of
the roads with hard surfaces. But 1t
can be employed 70 excellent advan-
tage, in the opinion of the State High
way officials, to scrape and keep in
condition the county dirt roads. SO
the tractor will be loaned to any Of
the counties for this work.
AS the machine can scrape and re-,
surface about ten miles of dirt road
each day, it. is expected to prove very
useful in keeping the dirt roads.
