The State Roads Commission purchased heavier snow removal equipment for the Eastern Shore to reduce road tie ups. Fifty trucks with plows replace lighter units, plus nineteen heavy Diesel road patrols receive plows. Four four wheel drive trucks and two rotary plows join the fleet, with snow fences erected in drift-prone areas. Chief Engineer Nathan L.
