Snow.
BY Associated Press to Every Fv-n,,v

New York, Feb. 12.-Great piles Of
snow and ice in the streets from last week Z
storms and the resulting bIockades Of
stalled traffic constitute 'the greatest
fire menace in the history of New York. -
according 20 Fire Chief kenlon. who TODAY
appealed TO business men to reduce the
amount OF traffic on snow clogged streets
where vehicles are likely to be stranded.
The chief issued his appeal largely on
account of the difficulty fire apparatus
encountered in reaching blaze in lower
Broadway last night Engines and trucks
we're forced TO use sidewalks TO reach
the FIRE because of their inability 70 make
progress through the labyrinth of blocked
streets.
Stalled trucks and the snow caused
the stranding of two FIRE fighting machines
within two blocks of their FIRE house. Fire
men abandoned their apparatus and
carried hose, picks, hooks and 235 foot
ladderfo for three long blocks to reach another
blaze
Conditions are far worse TODAY than
they were during the memorable blizzard
of 1885," Chief kenlon declared.
