Since 1947 the Highway Department has handled all snow removal
with its own 10 snowplowsp Only for extraordinary snowfalls will it
rent additional trucks,, Just to be on the safe side, plows are readied
for action by Nov. 15. To prevent interruption of business in winter
the department, in addition to clearing theroads, removes snow from
the central shopping area, dumping it into the bay0

NEW ONE FOR THE ROADS0 Highway Department's new "Backhoe,"
with Motor Equipment Operator Julius Ellison at controls, prepares
to dig trencheSo By facing other way a driver can use same vehicle
to load road materials or pick up leaves or snow0
THE VILLAGE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
In variety of services Freeport's Highway Department probably
rates near the top of the list. Maintaining 110 miles of roads is a
principal job, but many of the department's 32 men have other assign-ments
ranging from signs to snow removalo
"For example," said Harry J0 Chuisano, "drainage problems
naturally are referred to the Highway Department A special crew
is assigned to keep catchbasins clear by using an 'orange - peel '
cleaner, with fingers opening like the peels of an orange, to close
again around leaves and debris0 The same crew cleans drainpipes
by dragging cable through the interior,, Autumn, with its avalanche
of leaves, complicates the task of drainage maintenance0
"One of our community's most versatile groups is the Maintenance
Division which builds drains, lays pipes, does minor building "job's
and paints public buildings0 "
Vehicles suited for more than one job find a warm welcome0
That's-why-a "Backhoe" was purchased recently to dig trenches-for-drainage
-- or, when colder days come along, to pick up leaves or
remove snow by using a front-end bucket loader,
"Keeping the streets clean is another important function,," Mr0
Chuisano continued,, "Two mobile power-sweepers are used on roads
that have gutters installed0
"The Sign Division's work requires a blend of art and common
sense0 In a village like Freeport the painting, repair and replace-ment
of old signs is a big job in its elf „ If you add to this the making
of new signs (they must be designed also), you get some idea of how
heavy a workload this unit carries0 Street-name poles, traffic direc-
