SIDEWALKS TOO CLEAN?
when the Snow All Goes TO the
Gutter Traffic Is CIOgeed.

To II EDITOR OF THE SuS--Sir: As
an interested observer for some years
Of traffic conditions in New York and
more particularly having noted the dit
ferent degrees Of paralysis OF traffic as
the result OF snow fall. ! have come to
the conclusion that one element IN con-
nection with snow removal II re1ponsi-
BILE for most OF the trouble that always
ensuss after a downfall. This trouble
has to do with the scraping of OF side
walks. Az at present practised. the full
width is cleaned and all shovelled into
the roadway. This naturally stops the
use Of the roadway adjacent to the
curb. thereby preventing vehicles from
occupying this space and consequently
restricting the available width.
The remedy suggested Is to compel all
owners or tenants OF property to clean
only two-thirds OF the sidewalk ada cent
to the building line and pile this ma
terlal on the remaining one-third next
to the curb. providing an opening
through this mound opposite entrances
to buildings. These openings would
also serve as drains for melting snow
to reach the gutter. II is plain that the
oe"o ~ 'h'll ' bllis Al6
snow that has fallen thereon and all
parts OF its width are equally available
to vehicular trafic. This method would
work we'll also where trolley tracks
occupy part OF the roadway. The
amount Of snow brushed aside by snow
ploushs or sweepers Is rarely OF sum-
Client quantity TO prevent the re-
mainder OF tho roadway from being
used by vehicles. provided the snow
from sidewalks is kept off. This effect
can be noticed where owners OF vacant
buildings have failed 10 clear away snow
on sidewalks promptly. This method
would help exceedingly on Fifth avenue.
enabling the roadway clea ners to pile
up snow more promptly in the middle
Of drive for carting away. resulting In
smaller amount to handle at once.
In all cases II IL ssumcd that in the
general cleaning up after the roadways
would come TIE mounds on sidewalks.
With few exceptions II is patent that
IN all streets, both business and resi-
Dental. It II OF greater Importance to
keep the roadways entirely clear than
the sidewalks. To bring about the carry
Ing out Of this scheme would call for
absolute working harmony between police
and street cleaning departments. the
task Of notifying all tenants and own
ers falling to tho former. This could
best be accomplished by use OF printed
cards which would be properly dsliv-
cred by policemen. CARL e. PELx.

Captain Blake Not 70 Die.

Captain CHARLES A.. FRYArr OF the
Brussels and Captain JAMES BLAKE
Of the Caledonia both tried to ram
and sink German submarines and
failed In their purpose. The Brussels
escaped, but on n later voyage she was
intercepted by d%estroyers and taken as
a prize into Z~eebruege. After u trav.
esty Of n court-martial at Bruges Cap
tain FRYATr vas condemned and exc.
cuted because. to quote from the Ger.
man official report. although he was
lot a member Of n combatant force he
made nm attempt Oh the afternoon of
March 90. 1918. to ram the C.33 nmr
the Mas Llghtship."
The Caledonia was sunk by the sub.
marine that Captain BLAIKIE failed to
RAM. and he fell into the hands Of the
Germans. Fears that he would share
FaYArr's fate have been ~disslpated by
an assurance made to the American
Embassy at Berlin that Captain BLAI.
KIE would be held and treated as n
prisoner Of war. because the German
decision Is that the Caledonia. as n
ship chartered by the British Govern.
lnent. was an armed cruiser. and that
In attempting to ram the submarine
BLAKE WAS exercising u right of bel
liRerency. but II the Caledonia, which
carried a gun. had not been under
charter to the British Government.
Captain BLAiKIE could have claimed
protection under this appendix. dated
June 30, 1914. to the German prize

The presumption Is that the I'm.

Itself OF any opportunity to avoid TAX

The fact that there was not one cs.

Of the community spirit established

doubtless reinforced by the prospect
OF the three years Imprisonment to
which a previously escaped addict had
been sentenced by the Court Of Cen

Dr. STOKES divides the manage.

the city offices Of the Committee on
Drug Addiction and the city hospital
where they are entered: second. the
remedial zone at Warwick third. the
disposal zone. which IL not receiving
suficient attention. but demands more
parole officers. The full report Of Or.
Stokes will probably serve to crente
a less pesslmistic and grcwsome view
Of the drug habit problem than the

should encourage n large increase Of
