OCTOBER SNOW STORM

October got all mixed up IN It's
regular calendar season and IN ao-
dition to giving us some pretty cold
and rough weather all along, staged
a real mid-winter snow storm on
Friday, the 3Oth. There was de-
cided "feel" of snow in the air, with
fiurries all morning, and around the
noon hour it began showing IN
earnest.
The snow did not accumulate very
rapidly, but as the afternoon wore
along the ground was covered with Q
white blanket to the depth OF two or
three inches, with wet snow clinglng
to every bush, tree, wire and what
not, the whole landscape presenting
a beautiful mid-winter scene, and
October getting credit for the first
real snow storm of the season.
Saturday was cold. but most of
the snow had disappeared by night.

HALLOWEEN "CELEBRATED"

Halloween was observed in Rls-
ing Sun. In the evening the streets
were thronged with mummers,
masked and in all sorts of costumes,
fancy and ludicrous, who had a
merry time paying silent calls in
homes and places of business.
In the "wee sma' hours" there
was another group, not so mum, VINO
did some hilarious celebrating. In
fact it is said that some of the crowd
we're very hilarious" The fruits
If their strenuous labors were to
be seen Sunday morning in Center
Square, where Heterogeneous col
lection of articles had been dragged
hauled and carried and left for the
Town Commissioners to have re-
moved on Monday morning.
1t is a safe bet that not single
members of the bunch that expended
90 much surplus energy in adding
to the collection in the center OF
town, by way of celebrating"
Halloween, could have been hired
for love or money to do similar
work in broad daylight.

BRIDGE TOLLS Make TIDY
SUM

Tolls collected from motorists for
passage across the bridge over the
Susquehanna river between Perry
vile and Havre de Grace, totaled
$2O5,124.98 during the twelve
months ended September 80, the
States fiscal year.
The tolls collected during the
fiscal year of 1924-1925 were $751;
721 more than tolls in the previous
fiscal year, according to statistics
compiled for the annual report OF
the State Roads Commission.
The cost of maintaining the
bridge during the past year was
S1S,916.47, leaving a net profit OF
s1S6,2 ,2O8.51 for the years operation,
it was announced.
The net revenue from bridge tolls
was $16O,S71.66 for the fiscal year
ended September 80, 1924, and the
net revenue from February IL, 1928,
when the bridge was acquired by the
State, to September 80, 1928, was
$1O1, 1,118.15.
The total net revenue in tolls
since the bridge was acquired by the
State is $448,198.32, roads officials
announced. The cost of the bridge
was $5S5,OO0.
State Roads Commission repre-
sentatives estimated that the present
tolls system can be abandoned in
1927. By that time the cost of the
bridge and interest on the purchase
price, as we'll as the estimated cost
of 100000 proposed to widen the
span next year, will have been re-
turned to the State in tolls from
motorists.
August has produced more tolls
revenue than any other month, it was
announced. Practically $1,000 g.
da y-$31.67S.33-wa as collected
last August in tolls. The bridge
tolls revenue was less last January
than any other month of the fiscal
year, only $4,S8S being collected
That small total probably was due
to the snowstorm of January 2
which blocked many rural roads and
caused diminished motor transporta-
tion, it was said.

STATE ROADS COMMISSION
EQUIPPING FOR
WINTEF

A rotary snow plow, driven on a
caterpillar tractor, and eleven
trucks, are among the new equip
ment recently received by the State
Roads Commission for combating
heavy snowstorms in the State.
The new rotary plow is capable of
opening a path twelve feet wide
through snowdrifts from fifteen to
twenty feet high.
"The rotary plow will be used in
mountainous sections of the State
where the wind often plays tricks
over snow fences, making drifts
difficult to prevent" Mr.. Mackall
said.
In addition to twelve miles of
snow fences, erected at points likely
to prevent drifts" he continued
we now have eighty trucks and the
plow."
