County Highway Commissioner Amundson considers mounting large snow plows on county trucks to clear an 18 to 20 foot wide road from the city to Marshfield after each storm. The plan would allow doctors and others to drive year round, aid sleigh travel, and extend later to side roads if successful. Concrete roads between the city and Nekoosa and to Biron are already passable, aiding year round use.
