J.W. Titt Emphasises The Advantages Of The Steam Roller

From The Wiltshire Times, Saturday 18th June 1887:

Warminster. The Advantages Of The Steam Roller.
At the Local Board meeting Mr. J.W. Titt said few of them were acquainted with the advantages of steam rollers in laying down stones. They were in use in large towns and were saving the ratepayers 25 per cent. He understood the Marquis of Bath was to engage one to lay a road at Longleat and he thought the Board should hire it while it was in the district, at a cost of £2 a day. [After some discussion, the matter was adjourned for a month.]
