SNOW FLOW UNABLE
 TO CLEAN STREETS

Through the efforts of the Alaska Auto Association permission was sc cured from Marshal J. NJ. Tanner to use the prisoners in the federal jail to clear the snow from the down town streets so that autos could run. Yesterday the big city snow blow was taken out and an attempt made to clear roadway through some of the streets, but after a few minutes the project was aban- doned. The snow is packed so hard that the big blow made no impress sion on the drifts, but slipped over the top. The snow is packed on the down town streets until it Is almost as solid as ice and until it melts the city will have to depend mostly on horse transportation.
