March commenced with a regular
spring day, and during the afternoon
general thaw set in that got rid of
great amount of snow. The day
was the warmest of the winter, and
the streets were well supplied with
pools of water. In many parts of the
city, the snow on the streets is foot
or more above the sidewalks, and the
consequence was, that in many places,
the melted snow formed small lakes
on the sidewalks. During the night
cooler weather set in and the roads
again froze up, so that on the morning
of the End there were icy streets, and
the cool weather continued until to-
day. Since the thaw the roads have
been in first class condition.
