for additional snow fighting equip
ment, consisting of Is single truck
steel sweepers and 10 powerful double
truck snow plows.
while the installation of the safety
cars will mark departure on the Pub
lie Service system, they are by no
means an experiment. Cars of the
same type are operated to the satisfac-
ton of the public in more than 200
cities, including such populous places
as Brooklyn. Philadelphia, Boston.
Cleveland, Milwaukee, Kansas CITY.
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Baltimore.
Richmond, Seattle and Portland. They
are in use in various Connecticut cities
and have been in operation for several
months in Trenton. The chief merit of
the cars is that they make possible
more frequent service because of the
ABILITY to use more of them without
increasing the number of operators.

Anderson Avenue
Buckling Due to
Water Pockets Ice

"The cause of the buckling of An
dersOn avenue said Engineer Ross
McClave one day recently, twas be-
cause when the road was built it was
not properly drained. What does this
mean? Why, that in laying out the
roads new course between Palisade
and Fort Lee there was considerable
blasting necessary. In doing this work
a great many pockets were left I'M
drained, with the result that, ice form
ing in these pockets when we have
had excessively cold weather, the up
ward pressure was so great that up
went the surface of the roadway and
the surface was completely spoiled,
buckling being one of the worst things
that can happen to a roadway made
with part macadam surface, as An
derson avenue is. No surface of a
road that buckles will ever go back
into place, so that it has to be all done
over again at heavy expense"
Mr. McClave said that all the Cliff
side roads had held well in the bitter
est cold because they are all drained.
The pure cement road across the
Hackensack meadows leaving Leonia
en- route to Hackensack has remained
in absolutely perfect condition, part of
it being now three years old.
If memory does not mistake, the An
derson avenue is legacy from Engi-
neer Earle. At any rate the punk
Palisade sidewalks are his, and sor-
rier job was never perpetrated.
