Norwich Bulletin, Willimantic Of- Trafic in this city Friday was ‘practically at a standstill, no troliey cars and very few trains coming through during the day. People liv- ing in towns outside of Willimantic orted that traveling almost impos- sible, the drifts in somé places from five to seven feet. Trains coming into the .city from New York and Boston continued to drag along five or six hours behind their schedules and thers were ne trains at all on the Central Vermont raflroad bound south from early Thursday_ afternoon until three-thirty Friday afternoon, when a train was made up at this city and sent through to New London to carry the members of the Tumble In Co., to Norwich where they were to appear ¥Friday evening. Main street during the day was dotted with stalled automobiles, left there by their drivers half buried in the ‘deep drifts. Travel became bet- ter during the afternoon, the light drizzle causing the snow on the streets to become packed down giving machines a better grip on the sur- face for a start. Mail service from the local postoffice was kept up as usual, the men making the two trips during the day, but the rural carri- ers were in some cases unable to make their_trip. During Friday but one mail sack arrived in the city, this one coming from Hartford, The| platform at the -station was piled high with goods waiting to be ship- ped. as well as sacks of outgoing mail. htreet Superintendent Irving M. the streets during the day but the! fitty men he had engaged for the| be accomplishied in this line with the! few men he was able to secure.

The state highWways, as well as the country roads, Were . inipassable on Friday to anything but sleighs, and travéling in thése vehicles was prac- tically eértain to provide an esperi- ence. Putnam people heard on Fri- day of the need of digging out.of the snowdrifts the horse of Dr. R. C.

A west bound State of Maine éxpress; rumning many hours late, that arrived here during Friday férenoon stalled in the rocky gorge through which the tracks run at Modoc Jédgés. Railroad men who were trying their utmost to keep the lincs _onen were having one of the hardest expericices of their careers. The rain storm -that set in Sust be- fore noon added to their troubles as it packed d6wn still harder_the, deep snéw which was as solid a¥ clay on the tracks. Milkmen, rural mail men, city let- ter caffiérs, grocers, meatmen and| sthers had one of the worst experi- €iices in years trying to render ser- vics. The outside ‘agriculipral tricts were isclated during Friday and it will be several days before travel conditions are anywhere near normal.
