Split Log Drag In Place Of Machine In Maine Roads
The State Highway Commission and Governor Haines urge Maine towns to favor the split log drag over the road machine for road maintenance. They advocate sectioning work, removing sods and rocks, and using the log drag to improve surfaces on State and State aid roads, with state funds available to support maintenance efforts. The note emphasizes economy and better results through alternative methods. The Defiance ball team defeated Lisbon Falls 15 to 5 with strong pitching from McInnis.
