Need salt spreacder
for too* truck
'Town works employees Cliff Crawford and
Gary Austin attended the • September
meeting of Lucknow Village Council to
request the town buy a new salt spreader for
the town's truck.
Austin explained to council that the shute
used in previous years will not fit to the dual
action tailgate of the new truck, purchased
this- year for the works department.
Crawford pointed out it is illegal to have
•-• someone. standing in the back of-the tr_ua
load the shute as Austin has been doing and
suggested the town would probably receive a
.hefty fine if a safety inspector happened
along while the two men' were spreading
salt.
The two works employees showed council
a broChure of Elston Manufacturing, Mis-
sissauga, describing a type of salt spreader
they believe would do the job. The cost price
is about $2,500.. Councillor Ab Murray
suggested council contact Diesel Equipment
Ltd:, TorOnto, from whom they purchased
the town 'truck to see if they build a
spreader. -

councillor Murray pointed out the spread-

should consider a hydraelic driVen unit..
