SHOVEL SNOW AS sun SHINES
NEW ORDER TO STREET CLEAN
Frs Is MR.. VESTS IDEA.
Commissioner Sees Saving of
Money by Waiting Until Genial
Rays Soften Labors.

Shovel snow when the sun shines
been chosen as the motto to guide the OPP
erations of the street cleaning department
in removing snow and ice on crosswalks
upon recommendation of Commissioner
West
When Commissioner West was coming
down town this morning at the usual
early hour he saw Il gang at work clean
ing crosswalks and noticed that the snow
was still hard on account Of the colder
temperature of the night
When he reached his office he called
there James NJ. Wood. superintendent of
street cleaning. and gave Instructions that
men should not be put to work at shovel
ing snow until the sun has had chance
to melt the snow and ice. 1t was decided
to put the men at work at IL O'Clock in
the morning and let them work half a
day.
This will serve two purposes. in the
view of Commissioner West II will re-
duce expenditures out of the snow and Ice
fund and enable the men to accomplish
the best results In liking walking good.
When work closes tonight it is esti-
mated by officials of the street cleaning
department there will be only 500 or $500
left in the snow fund. Unless Congress
makes additional appropriation the Off
cials will be powerlesS to handle properly
another heavy fall of snow.
