When this happens work can tall behind Austin soys ho has no spare equipment only exactly enough tar the 13 plow routes The works department has two mechanics who arc kept busy making repairs when equipment breaks down When there problems with manpower or equipment shortages Austin admits the level of services falls out of necessity There were more mechanical breakdowns than usual during the tough December went through this winter For example there t enough frost in the ground and a couple times the big blades on the snow plow got caught in gravel roads There was a fair amount of damage It nobody s fault Austin observed Workers only plow roads going a couple miles an hour but a plow can be quite a beast react fast enough when a blade becomes stuck It sometimes takes time to work the bugs out or new equipment and that can hamper snow plowing operations This year hydraulics on a new reversible plow used in Acton were malfunctioning and eventually the equipment had to be sent back to the manufacturer for repairs As long as there an Acton and a George town there will be complaints that one area gels better service than another Austin predicts At the same time he says he t had a

service mostly snow removal after storms the community was receiving in December as compared to He says complaints printed In the paper demoralize staff and mokes them rnore up light I have staff who live in Acton who felt after that the comments in the paper to heck with Acton dont care if it ever gets ptowed Austin declared He acknowledged that citizens put all Town the spot from time to lime
