the revocation of the railroads special
charter by the special session of the State

revoking the charter gave its consent to
be sued. Under the charter the road

general law it can charge only two cents
mile fare and is subject to an ad valorem
tax on its property, which is doubling its

KEEPING NEW YORK CLEAN.
The Recent Snow Storm Cost More
than $21O,OOO.

The Recent Snow Storm Cost More
than $21O,OOO.
1t costs much more than the average
person is aware to keep the streets of
New York free of snow and ice. To make
possible the continuance of traffic, the
snow, after storm, has to be quickly
cleared away and dumped into the river.
There is well-arranged system by which
the city is divided into districts, whose
surface area is 6,O0O.OOO square yards.
Every inch of snow fall means 10000
cubic yards of snow to be removed, at
the rate of % cents per cubic yard. The
weather bureau gives the depth of the
snow fall and thus it is an easy matter
for the commissioner to ascertain the
amount to be removed. For instance.
in recent storm the fall was FIVE inches
in depth, making the amount to he re-
moved $4,000 cubic yards. 1t cost the
city over $4,000 to get rid of the effects
of the storm. Before the end of the Win
ter the cost will have run considerably
beyond $1,OOO,OOO.
