Boyd explained that a salt and sand mix has always been used here, about 1/3 salt to 2/3 sand. With this mixture and plowing we have been able to achieve clear roads while saving taxpayers about 50% of the cost over clear salt. Also, there are environmental concerns anytime you use salt, so the less the better. Treasurer Schoenike commented that the majority of people are happy with the way snow plowing is done here in Lebanon and the Chairman concurred.
