Consolidated Traction Com
pany Apportions Its
Ploughs and
SWeepers.
CREWS DRILLED FOR INSTANT SERVICE
Every Line in the Section Provided
With Means to Cope Even
With a Blizzard.

Since the approach of the cold weather
Manager David Young has been com
pleting his arrangements for that most
serious question which confronts sur
face railroad manager: How to handle
the snow. When Mr. Young sees the
first fall of snow there is no more sleep
for himself or his busy lieutenants. If
they were not to hustle about and lay
all preparations for the snowfall, what
grumblng, fuming and cussing there
would be if the citizens couldn't get down
town to business at a respectable hour!
To avoid this Inconvenience and pre-
vent any unnecessary profanity the Su-
perintendent of the Jersey City division
of the Consolidated Traction Company
has been laying his plans and they are
now complete. He has carefully selected
crew of men to man the electrical
ploughs and sweepers, and this crew has
daily been drilled by the Superintendent
in their respective functions, and they
are, so Mr. H. w. Fuller reported to
Manager Young this morning, in the pres
ence of a News reporter, ready for
any blizzard which will favor Jersey
City with a visit.
The company has, in each of its depots,
ploughs and sweepers ready to be called
out at moments notice. On the Hill
district that is at the Montgomery street
and Tuers avenue depot. there are three
ploughs, one electrical sweeper and two
horse sweepers. in case of emergency.
AT the Greenvil1e stables there are
four ploughs, two electrical sweepers and
one horse sweeper. These are for that
section from Bergen Point to the ferry,
and as the stables are midway between
these points they will be extremely eff
fective when the snow demands their
services.
The depot on Grand street, near the
Pacific avenue junction. has three ploughs
and one electrical sweeper, and these
would clean up the route in the Lafayette
section without any necessity to use the
Greenville machines for that purpose.
Then for the Newark line. at the de-
pot on the Bowery. just west of the Pas
sale, there are three ploughs and two
sweepers, amply sufficient to keep the
line open from the Market street depot
to the Pennsylvania ferry in Jersey City.
In all there are thirty ploughs and
fifteen electrical sweepers, not including
the sweepers which can be operated by
horses, and in addition Mr.. Young has
ordered fifteen new ones, some OF which
arrived this morning, and the remainder
will be ready for delivery before Janu-
ary l. - ~ ,,. ..o n,,u
have ever had. All our ploughs and
sweepers have been thoroughly tested,
and their equipments are of the best
and most perfect character"
At the first signs of snowfall the
intervals, and as fast as layer forms
on the roadbed it will be brushed 6 se.
The ploughs will only be used when me
snow drifts heavily, but Iy constant
sweeping the Manager hopes to keep the
tracks clear, and then there will be no
delay in the service of cars, and re-
sultant no criticisms and no cussing.
