The Hoad Commission advises that with
Lr. Clyde King away until early January
there is no one in that organization
to take care of the snow removal program
until his return. Howover, the snow
plow belonging to the Ho-d Commission
has been stationed at Palmer, m which
vicinity it is most needed, and Pen
Peterson of Palmer has been authorized
to operate this when necessary.
The Corporation bulldozers have also
been arranged for by the Hoad Commis
sion as it has been found much more
efficient and economical to use these
rather than the heavy snow plow in
heavy drifts.
Funds of the Hoad Commission for this
kind of vork are limited and, therefore,
it will only oc possible to keep main
roads cleared and any farmers needing
side roads bulldozed mry have thxs work
done by the Hoad Commission cut only
fit the expense of the individual.
a Corpor; tion bulldozer has Been sent
to ’.Va.silla. to be used when required to
Keep main roads clear in that vicinity.
