Original Toronto Star caption: A $140;000 Machine that scoops snow up from the Street; melts it ans spews the water out into the gutter goes into action yesterday on Adelaide St. W. at Bathurst St. Metro has four of the machines; each of which can do the work of nearly 16 trucks and can clear snow about 14 per cent cheaper than conventional methods. Crews working alongside the Metromelt uncover storm sewers blocked by snow so the water from it; with dirt and debris filtered out; can drain.
