Highway Dept Battles Snow in Winter Storm
The article describes a severe snowstorm straining the Public Works Department with crews on duty overnight. Reynolds Northup led the night shift while Richard Connery took over as highway surveyor. A sidewalk tractor cleared Wood street despite harsh conditions, but operators urged cab protection. Trucks aged from 1935 to 1940 faced wear, with repairs hoped for in the budget. Public aid and neighborly acts helped motorists stranded in snow as schools remained closed through March.
