City Ready
For Winter
Ice> Snow

East Cleveland's winter fighting
equipment, standing ready, was
given it's first workout of the sea-
son Sunday, November 3Oth. At
600 a. M, salt trucks were dis
patched to all main thoroughfares
and hillside streets where wet
pavements were suddenly covered
with a thin, hazardous glaze in a
sudden drop of temperature.
The second workout came Tues
day, December End at 200 a. M,
when three-inch snowfall covered
the city. Later that same day, fol
lowing a forecast of an additional
two inches of snow by nightfall,
snowplows were busy at clearing
all stragetic points that give traf-
fic its biggest headache in deep
snow.
Anew v-type plow is in process
of purchase to be added to the
seven plows already owned by the
city. The new equipment will be
used to open lane on side streets
i nthe event of a big snowfall. 1t
will enable milk trucks, food
trucks, ETC., to get through.
The city starts the year with 12O
tons of salt in the old bin at the
city incinerator and $50 tons wait
ing to be stored in a new bin just
about completed at the Eddy rd.
yards. Street Superintendent Jo-
sept v. Henry indicates that this
should be sufficient salt to see the
city through an even more than
normal snowfall.
