Colonel Waring was about ready to admit yes
terday that the office Of Commissioner or Street
Cleaning was hedged in by more troubles and vexa-
tions than he had expected to encounter. He found
a good many brambles in his ps.h during the day.
and he did not conceal his annoyance when ne
talked with newspaper men late in the afternoon
What he had to say about Major c. B. ThrocK-
morton was short and emphatic. 1t was this:
Il have only to say that If Major Throckmorton
juggles himself back into the service snail uis-
miss him again quickly 1t will make his head
swim: and dare him to publish In the city papers
even an honest abstract Of the findings of his court
martial"
Major Throckmorton is going to try 10 get PACK
in the Street Cleaning Department with the heip
OF the courts asserting that his rights as veteran
were violated in his summary dismissal and ne
has also talked Of bringing suit for libel against
Colonel Waring account Of the reference TO the
court-martial in the letter Of dismissal "hlch Ioo-
mel Waring wrote.
There vas cause for more annoyance in the de-
lay in paying the extra men who helped 10 re-
move the snow from the streets last month The
payroils were made up last week and were signed
by Colonel WarinC Saturday. He expected that
the men would receive their pay yesterday. but
there had been hitch in the Controllers oiiice De-
ca, se some of the men who had shovelled snow in
New-York lived in Brooklyn and others in Jersey
CITY Some of the men went TO Colonel Warng $
office to make complaints. and few of them de-
clared that they would not do any more work for
the city until they got their pay for the work which
they had performed in January. Colonel Waring
said late in the afternoon that there ought to be
less red tape in the payment of the men who worked
for the city in such an emergency. The Controller
had decided, he said. to pay the men who lived in
New-York. and then If the law allowed the
payment OF the claims Of the ether men, Most of
the may get their pay to-day.
Colonel War;ng was asked a good many times
yesterday how much it would cost the city to have
the snow removed from the streets since the latest
storm and he kept replying that ne ala not
have the faintest idea, and he did not much care
how much it would cost. AS a matter OF fact' ne
said, II would be impossible to remove the sno"
from all of the streets with men and carts. because
there too much snow. Most OF the snow VIII
have TO remain in the streets until 1t melts All
the department can do is to clean few OF the
streets in which there is the heaviest traffic and
wait for warmer weather to do the rest. ABOUT
1000 extra men at work piling snow yesterday,
and orders were given to employ 1900 men ana
1000 carts in removing the snow from upper Broad
way ard the Bowery last night. 1t was arranged
TO have another test of snow melting machhes III
Worth-st, between Broadway and West Broadway.
in the evening
Deputy Commissioner Moore went down TO the
Lower Bay yesterday with the expectation of get
ting some of the department scows out to the dump
ing ground. Colonel Waring said that the sco"s
were all full, and refuse had to be dumped IN
streets near the rivers while the department was
waiting for some of the scows TO be unoaded
