| f —S< yay STREETS MASS OF IGE AND DIRT Unusual Winter Has Left All Thoroughfares in the Outlying Territory in Terrible Condi- tlon, —_—— Bince street cleaning has become ao work above the plane of “a lick and a wish,” and that has been a matter of ten years pnst, New York has not known a parallel to the conditions ex- {sting to-day throughout the length and breadth of Manhattan Island, This the Department of Street Cleaning admits, In justification It says that New York has not had such a winter In twenty years, Go through as many avenues as are passable and on the crosstown strects, east and west, and as far ay the eve can pee toward each river there Is one un- broken mass of ice and snow, nd nit] and ashes, rising in mounds and hill- ovks, Start from the Washington arch, and you will find Fifth avenue clean as far ae Fitty-ninth street, Try Broadway, @nd you will find it clean as far as Bixty-sixth street, Sixth avenue ts clean, but leave it and cut up Into Am- sterdam ayenue, or Columbus, or Park, ‘of any of the other big arteries of traf- flo, with the exception of Third avenue, and you will find them in a state equal in many portions to the crosstown wtreots, and where they have been emoothed down the police should com- pel’'man nnd beast to use tee-skates, ‘And the Street-Cleaning Department admits this to be true. Has Been Unusual Winter, Commissioner Woodbury referred a re- porter of The Evening World to-day to Bupt, Bouton, of the bureau of snow removal, for all information, ‘This 1s what Mr. Bouton said: “he Bureau of Snow Removal has been working night and day since the beginning of December to cope with the conditions which winter has de- veloped. We have done all that human beings and horses can do and we can do no more than that, I have been at this business for the past ten years and I can stand as much abuee as the next one—abuse is part of the work— but if there is one thing that cute @ man up It Is unreasonableness, “—In tweuty years there hasn't been @ winter like the present one, There tiagn't bech a thaw, there hasn't been a softening of any kind since the be- ginning, with the exception of ne or two days, that would ald in cleaning the etreets. And when those soft days came the task to be.mot was beyond ‘any effort this department might put forth, ye did what we could, We could not lo the impossible, Qould Just Move Surface. "So far as the ice Is concorned in tho main avenues of traffic, only dynamite could move it, and if that were per-) mitted the cost would be more than Where those the excavation of rock.
