INVESTIGATING SNOW REMOV4L
CONTROLLER THINKS THE BILLS OF THE
UVALDE ASPHALT COMPANY MAY
HAVE TO BE REDUCED

Commissioner Magic of the Department of Street
Cleaning recently astonished many persons by CIV
ing out figures which seemed to show that he had
caused more snow to be removed from the streets
than had fallen on the streets in March. Apparent
ly his figures not believed TO be of the kind
that never lie. There has been investigation
of the extraordinary snow removal In March. Har-
rson Stidham. who superintendent OF snow re-
moval in Colonel Warnings time, has alleged in a
communication to Controller Coer that inspectors
of the Street Cleaning Department gave out more
tickets than there were loads of snow. Controller
Coler has held up the bills of the Uvalde Asphalt
Company, which has the contract for snow re-
noval to the amount of $50. 2S7 80. The total
amount demanded from the city for the removal of
snow IN February and March was S271, 6s5 80.
Controller Coler said yesterday that he was hav-
ing investigation made by experts in the Depart
ment of Finance to ascertain the exact facts. He
thinks the bills held up may have to be re-
duced materially before the city settles its account
with the company.
1t is suggested that perhaps inspectors of the
Street Cleaning Department may have given out
two tickets for each load of snow removed IN
March in of the districts and the Controller
hopes that the investigation will show how many
extra trickets were given out. and who to
be benefited.
Commissioner Maggie seemed to be hurt yesterday
by the report that too many tickets for loads of
snow had been issued by his Department. He said;
There are several men now under charges here
thing about the giving out OF extra tickets
letter was sent to Commissioner Maggie by the
Controller last week asking for approximate
estimate of the number of extra tickets issued.
MIR. Maggie replied that he had referred the cues
ten TO Superintendent Bradish, who replied that 1t
would be impossible to give the number of tickets
that the practice had existed for years This letter
was taken by some an admission by the Depart
ment of Street Cleaning that tickets have been
issued beyond the number to which the drivers
entitled.
1t has been reported that Senators George w
Punkitt and Maurice Featherson the men be-
hind the Uvalde Asphalt Company, but Mr. Plum
kit has made a formal denial of the report
Controller Coler will advocate the removing of
the snow directly by the city. He says the con-
tractors a have ave cha charged 81 day for and
rectly for SO. He will advocate the doing of the
work by the city before the Board of Estimate
and Apportonment
