TRAVEL YET IMPEDED BY SNOW AND ICE.
Commissioner Coleman's force of street cleaners
were busy yesterday and last night removing thee
snow and ice from some of the more tTaVelled
thoroughfares. There good many OF the busl-
ness streets, however, where travel is much in
peded by reason of the snow. Broadway from the
Battery to Forty -second-st. is well cleaned lhere
is little trace of the three violent storms which
succeeded each other so closely. The ferry streets
Wall Fulton. Roosevelt, COrtlandt, Liberty, Bar,
clay and Chambers, are clear. Laborers completed
Yesterday the task of pIlng the snow and ice IN
the middle of the roadway In f1tth-aVe from
Washington Square to Fifty -ninth-st 1t made
breastwork from six to eight feet high, and about
six feet thick West Broadway, the Bowery and
Canal-st are in passable condition. In Twenty
third-st the snow is piled up on each Sde Oh me
roadway in places more than ten feet high, caus-
ing great deal of inconvenience to the residents
In the avenues and streets traversed by surface
railways the ear tracks are clear but both sides
the snow and ice are piled up, susing much trouble
to teamsters. West-st for most of ITS length is Ill
good condition, considering the enormous snow
fall In the narrow business streets down town
the greatest inconvenience is felt. Loaded trucks
are stalled and cause bOckades every hour of the
day And this will continue until the snow is car
RED away by a thaw. Commissioner Coleman has
already expended more than $4,000 in removing
snow and ice. The most that he can hope TO ac-
compsh is to keep the most travelled thOrOughfares
clear. Even this leads to a large expenditure.
For 1884. the Board of Estimate and AppOrtiOn
mont has allowed $4,000 for the removal of snow
and ice.
