EXPECT AUGUSTA
SNOW BILL WILL
TOTAL $4,000
Commissioner Halls Crews
Have Had Many Difficulties
To Cope With In Keeping
Streets Open to Traffic

'Tt has been a tough winter for
the street crew." declared Com
missioner Albert e. Hall. Wednes-
day, speaking Of the conditions with
which his department has had to
contend since the first week Of jan
uary.
I'VE have had to dig through to
the catch basins practically every
morning for the past two weeks. we
would just get them back into work
ing order ready to take care OF the
melting snow and ice, when they
would freeze tight and make it nee
essary to again open them up by
hand.
Asked as to the probable cost OF
snow removal for the present winter,
Mr.. Hall stated that though he did
not believe the snow bills would ap-
proximate the high mark OF past
winters. it would figure close up to
$4,000. .,
"For the month Of February alone"
said the Augusta street commits
sioner, "our snow bills on the outside
roads totaled $500. Not only were
the snow storms frequent and heavy
in that period, but there was hardly
a day when it was not necessary TO
break out the roads which had drift
ed in full over night, even though
there had been no new fall.
There are reports that other
Maine cities are experimenting the
worst conditions of snow and ice on
city streets in many winters. Many
Augusta citizens have expressed
their entire satisfaction with the
able manner in which Commissioners
Hall and his crews have handled the
situation here this winter. Though as
Mr.. Hall pointed out. the cost OF
snow removal will not run as high as
in some winters past, the sidewalks
alone have not received the attention
of his department, but many miles OF
streets as we'll have been tractor
plowed and widthened out following
each storm.
Automobile service stations and
proprietors of gasoline pumps have
enjoyed an unprecedented winter
business, which they attribute to the
vastly increased number of auto
mobiles and motor trucks which have
been enabled to function throughout
the winter because of the efforts OF
the street department.
Mr.. Hall said Wednesday that he
has had an average of twenty-five
men on the payroll for the past
seven or eight weeks. He does not
anticipate any considerable difficulty
in the events Of heavy rains.
