HOW TO HANDLE TIE SNOW
Board Of Public Works Takes the QUESTION
Up for Discussion.

ET RAILWAY CoMPANY'S PART

Should the Omaha Street Railway com.
pany be required to remove from the streets
the snow which is swept from its tracks?
lhls was the main question under discus
sion yesterday morning at the meeting OF
the Board OF Public Works which was called
to discuss the best means of dlsposing Of
the four inches OF snow which covers the
Omaha streets
city Comptroller John y. Westberg urged
that the 6eaDs OF snow which are thrown
from car tracks b. sweepers block the
streets unnecessarily and that the com
pany should be requested to level the piles
city Engineer Rosewater suggested that IL
would be better TO require the company TO
remove entirely from the streets the ridges
produced by sweepers. The discussion
ended In the adoption OF the following rcso-
luton:
Resolved, That the street car company bo
requested to level the ridges Of snow
thrown from its tracks.
Work IL in Pronrcss
Several street cleaning gangs have been
put to work and the snow is being hauled
IRON the buJiness section OF the city as
rapidly as possible Mr.. Westberg objected
10 THIS method of disposng OF snow and
urseu that IT Is too expensive. He sug-
sested that the snow be removed only from
the street intersections and that Il be
leveled on the main streets and allowed TO
melt.
The comptroller was not supported in this
suggestion by the remaining members OF
the board and no change Will be made in the
method OF clearing the streets. City En-.
8iheer Rosewater explained that IL is dan
gerous TO allow heavy snow to remain on
the chief business streets. The snow melts
and forms an icy coating on streets, which
must bp ramoyp1 nj
OF hauling away the snow.
In support of his argument Mr. Rose
water showed that the main streets would
now be covered with eleven inches Of snow
we're II scattered evenly over the unswept
portion OF the paving. Property owners
sweep the snow from sidewalks, which have
width OF forty feet on the business
streets. The street car company cleans a
path twenty feet wide. City employees clear
four-foot path in the cutters This leaves
only thirty-six feet of the street upon which
snow must be piled. Snow fell to a depth
OF four inches Limiting the snow on a
street 100 feet wide to thirty six foot
space would pile II UP to an average depth
OF about eleven inches.
Merchants Complain.
When snow has been allowed to melt on
the main streets Mr.. Rosewater explained
that merchants have complained and there
has been great dissatisfaction The melting
heaps have been transformed into ice which
remained for weeks on portions of the
streets where the direct rays Of the sun do
not strike.
Mr. Rosewater estimates that the cost OF
removing four inches of snow from block
of 100-foot street is about $50 An inouIrv
into the methods Of handling snow employed
In other cities the size of Omaha shows
that engineers invariably recommend that
1t be removed entirely from streets where
there is much traffic.
