subject statements and dicta to
searching analysis, an advantage-or

The state Highway Department Is

This week, is arranging for a Demon
stration of apparatus designed Tor

Right here arises the query: no"

ton; one, too. which may pc an
swered in considerable part by IN
dividuals and communities.
Some of those who wish for twelve
months of automobiling In Maine
might profitably direct little OF their
abounding zeal toward answering II.
All should be willing to contribute to
this practical undertaking.
In a recent address before the hl-
wanians of this city Chief Engineer
Sargent of the State Highway De-
partment spoke of the advantages TO
be had from snow fences in prevent
ing the big drifts.
Along the highways are many
places where a properly placed fence
would obviate the drifts in the roao.
often it is necessary to place these
back from the road on titled land,
necessitating fence Of portable de-
sign. An alternative would be the
building at great expense of a wind
tight fence beside the highway.
These snow fences undoubtedly
would save the town or the State the
cost by reducing the expense of keep
ing the roads passable, insuring bet
ter conditions in the spring, to say
nothing of annoyance because OF
waiting for road to be cleared.
We can conceive no possible objec-
ton to this Improvement and can
think of no better or more urgent
channel Of expression for those who
desire to effect improvement in our
highways. Whether we are to have
snow removal by the State or not,
these snow fences would be in line
with economy and progress-and
there's really no excuse for not hav-
ing them.

of Nordic or Of other alien stock or
are they of the run-out original
