The chief thought, | ana the sharpest criticism, is left | | for the speed or lack of it which is shown in maintaining our-ar of communication for tires. Our present admirable technic in snow removal on the highways dates from comparatively recent times. It | has been a rather siow growth—a keeping | | little superior each year, | pace with the demand. { The demand has been for snow re- moval on a large scale, by machin- ery, big and expensive. Thus we | find that on every road of conse- | quence “snow-plow trucks” — huge massive contraptions that wade into snow drifts with the gusto of loco- motive plows-—are in use. Scores of them are stationed at strategto points throughout our states, operat- ing in districts, each crew being given the responsibility to keep cer- of road free of en-| | tain stretck | cumbrance. | Nobody objects to which a tew decades ago would have | been considered extravagance. The | { England farmer, especially | se living within the more popu- | lated sections, is never really snow- | the expense, bound. He can hop into his lizzie on | any snowy day and be in town near- | 1y fast as on an ideal day in| | spring. And he likes it.
