Recent purchases have br.mght
tbe total number of trucks te be
used itl tbat work to 594. All sre
equipped with blades or V-type
plows. Tbe depsrtmeot also bas
112 tractors equipped for use in
soow removal  work.
Convinced that the use ot snow
fence is a preventive of drifts and
therefore - greatly decreases the
cost of snow removal, tbe department has almost completed the
erection ot 1,650,000 ot sach
teoce.
Last winter department engineers were instructed to locate
every seotion of road in their
distriets at whiob sections of soow
barrier fence sboald be erected.
As a result it is believed that
every section erected this year
will result in aiding the snow
removal work.
Auditors laks lissfsslstlsi
Antis township auditors have
issued a supplementary report, io
wbicb they recommend tbat
supervisors use the budget and
pay as yon go system of work;
pat dowa some permanent road
each year, cut down extravagant
overhead and stop hiring of town*
ship machineary. A full surcharge
ot sinking food money wrongly
applied is recommended and all
sinking fund is to be applied to
bond redemption or reqaired to
earn interest. A competent study
of Antis township roads is urged.
