Noes - None Highway Department April 25, 1968 Highway Department Report - April 1968. Extensive work was required on shoulders and ditches due to heavy spring runoff. Patching crews have been using Cold Mix. Now that hot mix is available repairs will be morepermanent. Due to the lack of rain all gravel roads have become roughs and dusty. Graders have been operating continously, but used oil is becoming more difficult to obtain. Consequently in some sections some residents may think that they are neglected. This is not so. School Bus routes and the more heavily traveled roads have first priorty. All equipment that is available will be used until all roads are taken care of. The Street Sweeper is being used continuously. It is assigned to sweep up the winter time sanding operations, then to start anew and clean up. It is a continuous operation until freeze up. There are 118 miles of roads in the Town of Queensbury. This is quite an assignment for any peice of equipment. General maintenance has been kept up. The Rock Crusher is running nearly full time. Five Drywells have been located and installed. Weather permitting, the Sweet Road will be started to be rebuilt after clean-up week. Bernard J.
