Accompanying the cold was an
8-inch snowfall Saturday, by far
the heaviest this winter and one
of the biggest SHOWS on record
here. Fortunately, it did not drift
too badly and County and State
Highway departments were able
TO keep roads open.
But the State Highway main
tenance garage here still had to
keep seven snow plows going
most of Saturday to keep the
roads open, an employee there
reported this morning.
Today, streets in Marysville
are extremely slippery, especially
at intersections, as the huge snow
is beginning to get packed down.
The snow began falling about 7
a. m. Saturday, and continued un-
til late Saturday afternoon. High
winds prevailed in the morning,
but subsidized shortly after noon,
which probably kept the drifts
from being worse.
Most prolonged cold spell ever
recorded in Marysville came in
1886, just about this time of the
year, when the temperature drop
ped below zero on 10 consecutive
days. Lowest temperature that
time was l8 below zero. Coolest
single day ever experienced III
Marysville was % below zero
during the blizzard of 1918.
Last year, the coldest day IN
January dropped to only one
above zero, while in both 1945
and 1916 the mercury dropped to
two below zero.

GAS TANK EXPLOSION
CAUSES FIRE ALARM FRIDAY

Marysville's Fire Department
was called out at 2 p. m. Friday
when a gas tank caught fire in
the Paul Beaver garage at 528
S. Plum st. as it was being in
stalled in an automobile. Little
damage was done by the fire
but the garage was damaged
some when Mr. Beaver hurriedly
pulled the car from the garage,
taking few overhead beams
with him.
The fire was caused by the
tank being too near a heating
stove in the garage, and was
practically out by the time the
fire department arrived.

This installation is well de-
