Hess commented he is looking into the cost of purchasing another plow which can be attached to the current town trucks. Also Johnson asked if when the street department was plowing the streets, it could get a little closer to fire hydrants if possible and added any consideration would be appreciated by the fire department. Hess stated Jie would make a note and see wh<it they could do.

Car starting tips During the cold days of winter, motorists should resist the temptation to continuously pump the gas pedal when trying to start their cars, according to the AAAChicago Motor Club. To make the starting of your vehicle easier, the AAA-CMC advises: Turn off all accessories before turning the ignition key. These include radio, heater, lights and windshield wipers. Turn the key and press the gas pedal to the floor once or follow the instructions in your owner’s , manual. Do not grind the starter for more than 15 to 20 seconds. If the car does not start, stop and make repeated attempts, allowing 30 to 45 seconds bet ween tries. If your carburetor floods, and you will be able to tell by the smell of raw gas, shut off the ignition. Then push the pedal to the floor, holding it there for a full minute. Once started, warm the engine at idle. Never race a cold engine since the rapid action of the m? ternal parts, before lubricants flow, puts severe wear on the engine. However, even these tips may not help if your battery is not properly charged and the car not properly tuned. I
