"WERE ALL SET" IS CLAIM OF HARVARD'S SNOW-SWEEPERS

"We're all set for whatever the Lord may send us," Rogers B. Johnson '17, superintendent of the maintenance division, declared last night after finishing his preparations for the annual campaign to keep the University's seven miles of driveways and 15 1/2 miles of sidewalks clear this winter.

Shovels, picks, rotary brooms, big trucks and a new Fordson tractor are ready for immediate action. There are tons of sandon hand for this is the snow fighter's most valuable ally. Last year 151 tons of it were used.

In the last ten years an average of $1.18 per acre per inch of snow has been spent by the University on keeping the ways clean, Johnson revealed, and a total of $9415.05 was spent on snow removal last year.
