TAFT GETS STREET
CLEANING IN MOTION
Commissioners Put Snow
ShGVelers to Work.

Like a magic wand. President Taft's
brief interview with Commissioner John
ston at the White House yesterday
morning. regarding the conditions Of the
streets had its effect
When Commissioner Johnston returned
to the District Building he held a con-
sultaticn with the other members OF the
board with the result that an order was
issued TO Supt Wood. OF the street
cleaning department. 10 put his force OF
white wings to work
Half an hour after there could be seen
signs OF improvement In the downtown
business sections where the streets are
in an especially bad condition for traf-
flc. Two hundred and fifty street clean
eTs, comprising the entire force, spent all
day yesterday diligently plying brush
and shovel in an attempt to clear the
slush out OF the cutters and dispose OF
the piles or snow heaped along the side
OF the car lines and at street corners.
But TO the casual observer, more than
this has to be done before any real bene-
1T is derived. It seemed that President
Taft took q short walk Tuesday night.
which explains matters
He called Commissioner Johnston up
the first thing yesterday morning and
asked why the streets had not been
cleared Of snow.
As a result OF the interview with the
Chief Executive. Commissioner Johnston
is preparing a statement Of estimates
necessary TO cover the expenses Of clean
ing the Districts streets OF snow and
ice
This. he declares. viii cost as much as
10000, as may be seen by the expense
accounts of other large cities He ex-
planned 20 President Taft that already at
least $500 of the $4,000 annual appro-
priation allowed the District by Congress
for shOveling away snow has been spent
for that purpose
