ONEIDA COUNTY - Living in the Northwoods, many people get used to driving in the winter, but sometimes driving conditions can be very difficult. In Oneida County, the highway department says they do their best to keep our streets clear, but it's expensive to do so.
The Oneida County Highway Commissioner Freeman Bennett says they have 27,000 tons of sand and salt. They have about 7,000 tons of sand just in Rhinelander alone. That costs about $70,000.
Inside their dome there is about 10,000 tons of salt. At $78.60 per ton, that's $780,000 worth of salt.
