Public works snow removal, Portland, Maine, circa 1940
People operating plows and conveyer belt loaders remove snow from Portland's downtown streets and sidewalks, while dump truck drivers unload the snow into the Fore River in this film, made around 1940 by the City of Portland.
Portland maintained a snow dump and sand storage lot on Back Cove. Much of the work was done by hand, and the public works department hired out-of-work men to clear streets, shovel sand, and sprinkle bags of rock salt into sand to melt the ice.
Skidding cars, one with a damaged fender, demonstrate the hazards of the untreated, icy streets.
