Experience has taught the works department of the Hastings Borough Council that after all the old-fashioned horse is preferable to the modern motor when it comes to providing a means of drawing along the mower used for cutting the grass on the sides of the borough roads. The difficulty experienced with the motor is that it does not always come to a halt quickly enough to avoid causing damage to the mower blades by rubbish covered in the grass. According to the experience gained, officials are satisfied that a horse-drawn mower would carry out the work more efficiently and possibly more economically.
