Another bright idea for farmers from the city folks in Edmonton! Farmers using wider sleighs in the winter would be a cost effective way to keep roads open, according to the Edmonton Good Roads Association, reducing the heavy burden of taxes to pay for drags and snowplows. The Association planned to petition the government to enact regulations to ensure the use of wide bench sleighs as a means of keeping winter roads open.
