W00DBURY'S NEW PLAN.

with the streetcar companies. He already has a

would not diminish the number OF men employed,
the Commissioner says. He declares the plan ought
cost the city less than the present system while
the taxpayers for the money would get at
least twice much return.
No machine has yet been adopted. One that is
recommended by President Fish is called an ele-
waiting grader and wagon loader. The idea is TO
scrape the snow 5 the machine moves, and IN
stead of leaving it in ridges later to be shovelled
into carts this machine, after scraping the snow
the ridge stage, gathers it into an eevaung aps
