convenience to many, especially to
those who work in the center of the
city. Those who went to their work
early in the morning were considerably
delayed. and a few had to give up their
jobs for the day. AS soon as the troll
ley cars got to running we'll on Grand
avenue pretty good service was MAIN
tanned. But on Ferry street the snow
caused a complete blockade for hours.
The storm caused an embargo in the
oyster fishery, but the dealers had suf-
ficient stock on hand to carry them by
the storm.

der company will give a social whist

ut was slow work getting one of the
Branford cars back to the Grand ave-
nue. car house yesterday afternoon. The
attempt to run the car in the morning
having been given up, it required sew
eral hours work to get it back to the car
house. These cars have powerful mo-
tors, but they were unable to compete
with the drifted snow on Ferry street.

ahead before the short trip could be
completed, snow pillow finally coming
to the aid oe the car.
