Newington now has a snowplow of its own and for the past several years has been able to keep the highways cleared of snow to the sat- isfaction of most drivers. First Se- lectman James C. Gilbert thinks that the only time the town would really be in need of a plow would be when there was an unusually large snowfall. The town has al- ways hired trucks to be used in con- nection with road building and the plan would not benefit Newington a great deal in that case. Selectman Gilbert thinks, how- ever, that the plan may develop into something which will be very bene- ficial to the small towns in the state. Commissioner McDonald made it clear that the plan is only tentative and amounts to merely a proposal. The matter is under consideration by Selectmen Gilbert, Churchill and Fish.
