James Mccartney. the Commissioner Of Street
Cleaning said yesterday that his Department was
stralnng every nerve 70 remove the large accumu-

air OF the city for several days He admitted that
the conditions were shocking. with so much decay

but he declared that the Nuisance would be abated
at the earliest possible date. For four days. he
said the Street Cleaning Department had been
made completely helpless by the snow blockade In
the streets and It had been impossible for the men
and carts at his disposal 70 remove the garbage
already accumulated. In two more days. he sad.
all the garbage standing In the streets would
be removed and then there would be no more cause
for complaints.
Observations OF Tribune reporters in many parts

nuisance was as intolerable any day since the
