New Truckâ€"Plough _ Doing Useful Work Clears off Streets and Road to Ankerite and DeSantis in Speedy Time. Timmins‘ new combination fourâ€"ton truck and snowplough is doing good work, Town Eengineer J. D. MacLkean told The Advance toâ€"day. In its first real tryâ€"out last week, the new truck shoved snow off the main streets of the town so that early morning motorists had no difficulty in getting about and then opened the road to the Buflfaloâ€" Ankerite and the DeSantis in plenty of time for the shift going on. Cars folâ€" lowed the big plough all the way to the mines. The diesel tractor plough is used for heavier work and places where turning is tricky. The big advantage of the new truckâ€" plough is that streets and roads can be opened hours earlier than was formerâ€" 1y possible.
