COSTLY SNOW STl RhS.
Waterbury Had to Shell Out Sl.000
 for He p Last hontl.

The cost of removing snow from the public streets is getting to be quite an item and it would be no surprise if all the cities should combine and try and talk the general assembly into makiug street railroad companies contribute a little more generously than they do to this burden. In Hartford the street department put out $1.OOO on remov. ing snow during the month of January and here in Waterbury the amount expended in that line of work rae past month exceeded S1,0OO, and then the superintendent didn't spend half as much as he would have to do if he pitched into the snow fl all parts of the town and carted 1t out of peoples way. The worst spots are along the streets where the trolley cars run, but other places need attention, N), and between the whole of them three or four severe snow storms would run the expense up to something in the neighborhood of S4,OOO or S5.OOO. A large share of the snow could be spread all over the street and allowed to remain until the thaw comes wee it not for the trolley tracks. and this Is where there appears to be an im- pending battle between the trolley companies and municipalities. The state law puts half the cost on the sur. face roads. but there is no reason why thes &ould not pay more. for they are responsible for practically all the outlay. not that they have anything 10 do win bringing down the snow. hut because it could be laft where 1t falls if they didn't toss it to either size of th"ir tracks with snow blows. thus renderin~ 1t necessary 10 cart it away in order that other travel may be accommodated.
