SPREADING ON ROAD: Salt sprays from the hopper on the truck's rear-end at a rate of half a ton for each mile of road. Equipment operator George Bowens takes a quick peek at the rate of flow on W. Liberty Rd., three miles west of the city limits of Ann Arbor. To keep roads clear of ice and sleet conditions, Washtenaw county pays $18,000 to $30,000 a winter, depending on the number of snowstorms.
