He left his office in Hempstead for his home tn Garden City after 6 o'clock tast night, riding fn a trolley car to @ point a few blocks distant from his house. His way led along the old Stewart estate—a wide unprotected stretch. A boisterous wind fought bim and deep snow drifts were piled on the sidewalks.

DECLARES CONDITIONS COULD MAVE BEEN AVERTED. “This condition of affairs could have been prevented if the company had run its cars and sweepers continu- ously during the rm of Friday night and Saturday. Instead of re- ducing the number of cara operated, it should have increased them so as to prevent the conduit from filling up. The New York Railways Company apparently did so, with the result that ite Ines continued operation.” Chairman McCall, when asked why the Commission declined to take ac- tion against the company for failure Under the law, a street railway company failing to carry out the erdore of the Public Service Com mission and operate care is liable to a fing.of 96,000 per day. - NEW YORK RAILWAYS COMPANY CARS RUNNING. A complete inspection of all the sur- face lines in Manhattan reveain the following traMfc condition: All the lines of the New York Rall- ways Company maintained continu- ous operations, though much impeded and delayed by traffic blockades. At no time were any of its cars anow- bound. On the Third avenue system prac- tically only the Third avenue main line below One Hupdred and Twenty- Rinth xtteet hab been in operation since last Friday night. The Forty-second street and upper Broadway line has not run a car since late Friday night. A striking example of the breakdown of service ‘was the sight of five cars stalled on Broadway at Sixty-first street for two days and a snow sweeper stalled at Eighty-sixth street for s similar period. On Broadway, between Sixty-Atth and Seventy-second streets, the tracks of the Broadway line are used by the Sixth and Amsterdam avenue lines of the New York Railways Company. ‘This short stretch of track was the Semplaining ageinet the break Bie. th ‘Third avenue system's vb cor ‘ my service.

TRAFFIC ON TENTH AVENUE TOTALLY SUSPENDED. Trafic on the Tenth avenue ling has been totally suspended since Fri- day night. The One Hundred and Tenth street crosstown line went out of business, but on Sunday a few storage battery cars were run. On Monday the line ‘was closed again. The Avenue B line kept going dur.

CITY 18 STILL SNOW-BOUND, DE ITE THE CLAIMS. | Demoralisation of the Third ave- nue's system was only one result of | the bliiszard, however. Although Street Cleaning Commissioner Feath- erston and Snow Inspector Gunther says that 46 per cent. more snow has been removed since last Saturday morning than was removed in a sim- ilar perioa during the big Christmas storm of 1912, New York remaina to- day, except for a few “spots,” almost as snowbound as at any time since the beginning of the blizzard, There were a dosen or more incip- fent riots in various parts of New York to-day, led by men who were angry over not being employed at snow shovelling. There were no cas- ualties, but the police had a busy time of it at several points, At the offices of G, V. Mitchel, a snow removal contractor at Hudson and Barrow streets, about two hun- dred and fifty men gathered and there was a furious demonstration when it was found tbat there was work for only 150, MEN STORM PLACE WHEN WORK 18 REFUSI ‘The men who weren't picked tried to storm the place, but were finally appeased and sent elsewhere. “The trouble in," said one of the snow contractors, “that we cannot get enough trucks or carte, We are paid by the yard, you know, and the more men we can put to work the better for us. The trouble is general and is due to the fact that there are more men looking for work than we can| use in the daytune, The traffic im- pedes work, But nearly every one of these men will be busy to-night, when the streets will be clear of v: hicles and we can go right along, Fire Commissioner Adamaon ts fea: ful of a conflagration, admitting that jbie department is in no shape now to ‘cope with one. He has had forty snow. ploughs, manned by firemen, clearing paths in frout of fire-houses, but these lanes end in snow piles where the city has not yet cleared the streets, A result of the tleup of trafic has been the increase in price of perish- able foodstuffs.

Mayor Mitchel, who got back from Atlantic City yesterday, admitted to- day that he on entirely satisfied with the situation, although he de- fended Commissioner Fetherston, “I shan't be satisfied until regular traffic is possible again,” ‘said the r. tions to Commisisoner Fetherston and 1 must say I think he has done pretty well. I have told him to concentrate his efforta on the main arteries of traffic. Clean them first and then go after the byway: “Have you féund any fault with Commissioner ' Fetherston?” Mitchel was asked, “I believe there might. be a little better generalship, a little more cen- tralization of forcen at strategic points. There are some things which must be kept in mind to realize prop- erly the position of Mr. Fetherston. Yesterday he called up 175 trucking companies and got promises of only twenty-five trucks. But not even one of that amall number appeared, — SAYS “COMMISSIONER HAS NOT DONE 80 POORLY.” “During a given period of 1912, when there was a storm of consider- able magnitude, 28,210 loads of snow were removed. The period I mention covered three days. The total num- ber of loads removed under Commis- sioner Fetherston during the three days following the beginning of the work on the present storm was 34,489, 80 you see the Commisgoner has not done #0 poorly. “During the storm of 1912 thore wan @ depth of 11,8 inches of snow and the approximate depth of the combined storms with which the snow cleaners are now contending ts 15 inches. “On Dec, 26, the biggeat day of the | 1912 storm, 16,674 loads of show were removed, On Feb. 1 yesterday, 16,000 loads were carted away.

OIVERT TRAFFIC TO RELIEVE THE CONGESTION. In order to relieve the traffic con- gestion in the downtown wholesale and manufacturing districts, due to! the accumulation of snow, new and) drastic trafic regulations were is-| sued by ‘the’ Police Department to- day. Beginning at noon, Grand street, from Ceptre to West Broadway; Spring street, from Lafayette street to West Broadway, and Houston street, from Lafayette street to West Broadway, “were restricted to west- bound traffic. Prince street, from West Broadway to Lal te atroet, and: Bighth street, from fayette street to Sixth ave- were given over to eastbound ‘eraffic exclusively. As the afternoon wore on,, the regulations diverting worse system than we ! tain thoroughfares were extended to cover crosstown streets in the shop- ping districts. OUT OF TOWN MEN FAIL TO LAND JOBS. Complaints were made to Street Cleaning Commissioner Fetherston to-day that men sent to uptown sta- tions of the Department of Street “leaning, with cards issued by the Municipal Emp! nt Bureau at No. 27 Lafayette street, are unable to get work 1 the snow remov. operations.
