Snow; McStay Calls for
$780, 600 to Speed Work

being gradually cleared of their three
weeks accumulation of snow and ice,
Commissioner Arnold B. MacStay of the
Street Cleaning Department declared
yesterday that the city is now facing
another serious problem resulting from

cinders and refuse. The Commissioner
went before the BOARD of Aldermen
yesterday with request for $270,OOO

the matter was rcfrred to the Finance
Committee, which is not expected to
report back until next Tuesday.
With regard to charges made by the
Women's Municipal League that anti

MacStay admitted yesterday that they
were true. "The Street Cleaning De-

dumps, he said, are "only held to-
gether by the grace of God" AS soon

disposed of, he said he would present
