City toughens snow cleanup amid plow shortage
City officials said 300 tons of salt from International Salt Co. in Cleveland would arrive soon to cover the remainder of a 3,500 ton order. About 30 irate residents called city hall complaining of uncleared side streets as five aging plows struggle to cover over 200 miles. No funds exist in the 1977 budget to buy new plows. The latest snow break allowed crews to plan secondary streets while main roads remained in decent condition.
