lirom Clftown To Alberton
Dcpar‘.1nent of Highways snow- plows were battling their way through drifts in many parts of the province yesterday in an ef- fort to keep motor vehicle traffic rolling. The heaviest battles were being fought in the Western Prince area and the roads in the Summerside - Alberton, Tignish area were impassable all day yesterday it was learned last last evening from 'the official plow dispatcher at Charlottetown.
it was not until 8:30 last night that plows finally punched a jagged, narrow path through the drifts to let traffic resume be- tween Summerside and Alberton.
For a great part of the day two plows were stuck at Elmsdale. But although the Western road was opened last night to Alberton and a bit farther, in some parts heavy drifting was again fining the narrow cuttings that the plows had been'able to open in the even- mg.
ELEVEN SNOW PLOWS
A Montague curler .who was re- turning from the Legion Bonspiel in Alberton, said last night that he counted eleven snow plows be- tween Alberton and Charlotte- town. He left Alberton at 8.30 and arrived in the City shortly before midnight. ‘ _
The Montague man told of ex- tremely heavy banks in the Alber- ton area and efiplained that their cars had been completely buried during the storm.
Asked how high the cuttings were, he said in many places they were twice the height of their car and said it was difficult to drive because one could not see ahead with drifting snow filtering through the cuttings. On turns, or where there were sweeps in the road, the driving was par- ticularly difficult and dangerous, he explained. * ‘ BETTER EAST
East of Prince County the situation was‘ not nearly so, bad, although plows were busy thr- oughout the day in Queens and Kings County.
The Malpeque road from Char- lottetown to Summerside was open for, traffic during ,the. day but the going was heavy and cars were moving with par- ticular. difficulty in the ‘area be-
ton where drifts were
heaviest.
