show plow to be attached thereto.The 1965 budget as tentatively
approved by the city Council provides for trade of the existing
street sweeper and for purchase of a snow plow.
Mr. Waggener explained the specifications are written for a 4
wheel vehicle with sweeper attached.It can be operated as a
truck at speeds of 35 to 40 miles per hour. The principal
advantage is that it actually has two operating motors instead of
one.This will allow the brooms to operate.,at an efficient speed
even when the sweeper is slowed down.
