Trolley car and other vehicular

red were by no means as serious as
those of Saturday. Trolley schedules
in the suburbs, particularly In West
Hudson. wer all awry. In Newark,
where force Of men had worked
through Saturday and Sunday clear
ing the streets, traffici moved with
fair regularity, although in the early

VIII Cost ss.see . Day.
Today's storm Will cost the city Of
I Newark $1,000 day until the srlou
Is removed, Charles T. Ship1nan, sD-
perintendent for the Board of Works,
said today. Removing the snow after
Saturdays storm would have cost
about 2.o00 Mr.. Shipman said, but
the necessity of keeping laborers and
teams at work to remove the new fall
will swell the expense to the city
greatly.
Today 600 men and $50 teams were
sent out to clear the streets The
4 City Hall was besieged by jobless
men seeking work, and practically
all who applied we're given shoyele
and assigned TO gangs. The men are
being paid 25 cents an hour, and from
the time the first squads Of snow
fighters were sent out Saturday they
have labored between eight and
twelve hours a day.
The result of Saturdays and yes
terday's work is that the principal
streets were fairly clear of snow
when today's storm began. 1t was
the intention of the street superin-
tendent to have his men work ex-
clusively in the outlying streets to-
day, but the new storm made ID
necessary to assign many of the
workers to Broad and Market streets
and other streets In the centre of the
city The snow plaws and sweepers
sent out by the Public Service Rail-
way Company aided the Board Of
Works considerably in its task OF
clearing the streets. Mr.. Shipman
said. Many of the more narrow
streets where the trolley cars run
were found practically clear when
the city laborers went to work on
them today.

also was stopped by an S. p. c. A.
man. When the drivers reported to
the garbage contractor they wers
called in and the collection of paper
ceased.
The Public Service Railway Cons
pany had all its sweepers and plows
out clearing the tracks from the
time the snow first began to fall. All
I lines were open, but regular schcd-
. ules went for naught. There were
many tie-ups but these were caused
mostly by wagons breaking down on
the trolley tracks. On account of tho
amount of snow piled high on both
sides OF the tracks after Saturday =
storm the trolley tracks were the
only safe and sure paths for auto
mobiles and horse-drawn wagons
None of the railroads passing
through Newark reported any great
change from the normal running time
of its trains. Keeping the tracks
clear was no great problem today.
the railway officials said. and coHi-
muters found their trains on time
