But—ard here the New Yorker gets an idea of what a sixteen inch snow fall meann to the metropolie—there are three million more cubic feet to be re- moved! More wagons, men and horses were cleaning away the icy piles in Man- hattan’s uptown streets to-day than on any day since Mr. Fetherston started out to clean shop. More than 14,500 men, 5,000 horses and 2,500 carts) are engaged in the work. That the streets have not been cleaned is not due to the antiquated equipment, as bas been stated, Commissioner Feth- erston said to-day. Neither are form- er Commissioner Edwards's contracts at fault—all together. The present snow contracts, which were drafted and signed last July, when there wasn't much snow hereaboute provided only for a six ingh fall. Had the contract makers foreseen the sixteen inch fall and provided accordingly the snow would have been moved within three day: WORRYING ABOUT THE FILTH IN THE STREETS. “We are doing the very best pos- said the Commissioner to-day. im not worrying half as much about the present condition of the olty’a streets as the condition they will be in after the snow is gone, In many sections of the city accumula- tions of filth, ashes and garbage threatens to imperil the health of these communities. I shall go before the Board of Aldermen soon and urge upon that body an otdinance requiring owners of property to see to it that no garbage, ashes and the like are thrown on the streets in front of thelr premises and providing @ penalty for the same. “In times like the present, the ashes and garbage accumulate faster than at other times. When we are busy with the snow, tl man fails to get around and people get careless and begin throwing things into the streets.” Commissioner Fetherston said that @,000 square yards of treeta have been cleaned each day since the fall. But he added that more than seventy day ould be needed to clean away the streets of the three boroughs at that rate. The matin hope of the department, he sald, te for rain and sun.
