Snow and Trash Drive Up Vermont Highway Costs
Ivor S. Pelsue, engineer of State Highway District No. 1, notes winter maintenance costs soared over 20 years while trash dumping remains steady. The district spent over $200,000 on plowing in 1962-63, with snow removal dominating 75 percent of costs. Despite more roads, fewer workers and trucks, higher wages and materials costs push totals upward. The district covers Bennington, parts of Rutland, Windham counties and a Vermont 112 corridor, totaling 155 miles in state roads and 1,000 miles overall.
