Department ; Explanation (-Mail & Empire) The annual -discussion as to snowclearing, in relation to use of sleighs. brings the explanation_ once more from the Department that its snowplows alwaysleave two inches of snow on the pave- ments, and this is ample for sleigh transport so long as cold weather continues. It is admitted, of course. that when a thaw occurs the snow-layer soon disappears. and that even in cold weather. it gets pretty well cut up -by vehicles, and on grades is soon swept away. `With the present extensive use of motor vehicles all winter. however. `the demand for snow-clearing of main highways has become pretty general. - U]. 31 GKLIUI Us I S.

It is impossible to please everybody. In imcoe County we are in the extreme northerly portion of the provincial highways system. We even had requests from Huntsville and Bracebridlze to keep the highway open. This year a request has been made to maintain traffic from Meaford to Owen `Sound. The northern section of the county is not vitally affecteedl either way -for the snowplows have never been used` much north of Barrie. and last year to Orillia. `However. I am sure the department will be rvuidedt to a large extent by what this council wishes. 1171--..

This money.- it was said, could be used to much better advantage. ` `Thursday, December 6, 1928 (Contlnuet! from page one) snow the gangs would go out and remain out. 24 hours a day, until the storm had been beaten.
