We are told that the new machine will be used on the worst roads first and it will be some considerable time before the machine can cover the entire township. While the old grad- er formerly used by the municipality gave good service in its day, the new machine with modern improvements i's capanle of doing double the work at the same operating cost, and should prove an excellent and profit- able investment.
