BARTLETT — A snow roller that once maintained the town's roads 100 years ago is still looking for a permanent home after the Bartlett School Board voted 3-2 against placing the restored piece of history on grass in front of the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. The Bartlett Historical Society restored the wooden snow roller over the past year and last week offered it to the school.
The vote was a surprise to Josiah Bartlett Elementary School Principal Joe Voci.
