SNOW GOING FAST.
SUN HELPS WHITE WINGS.
Fail IN Last Tzco Months HeoUiest
an Fire Years.

officials OF the Street Cleaning Department
were congratulating themselves last night
the progress they had made with the last snow
fall, which on Sunday spread blanket OF 81
inches over the streets of the city. II was esti-
mated that at the end Of the day thirty-fve Of
the 1913 miles Of streets on the Manhattan snow
schedule had been cleaned. This is the best
work that has been done this winter. but the
conditions for work were exceptionally good.
The sun had softened the snow to a point where
it held together we'll, and the mild weather made
it an easy matter 20 keep the men and trucks
at work
This has been an exceptional winter in point
of snowfall The snowfall; has not only been
unusually heavy. but it has been crowded into
exceptionally short space Of time. The first
heavy fall was on January II. Including TINT
storm, the snowfall to date has been 49, inches,
which is only % inches less than the total fall
for the winter so far. Commissioner Craven
says that this is the heaviest snowfall on record
for the same period, the average having been
325
This winter has been hard for the snow re-
movers. The average temperature for February
was "a degrees. the lowest for the month for
many years. On account Of the steady cold
the contractors have asked Commissioner
Craven to make some concessions. In figuring
their bids they always calculate a shrinkaSe in
each snowfall OF so per cent. but the shrinkage
will not be more than 80 per cent this year they
say. However as the contractors are supposed
to run this risk. il is doubtful if they can show
they are entitled TO any concessions
The snowfall this year UP TO date has been
46.4 inches This record has been surpassed
only five times in the last twenty years. In
1ss7-'sS the blizzard winter. the total fall was
only 47.9 inches. The greatest snowfall in a
single winter was 776 inches. in 1929 A
