THIS CITY LEADS
IN SNOW REMOVAL
go Per Cent Clean Here," Says
Hepburn--NeW York Is
Tied Up
OTHER PLACES HARD HIT

Donald NJ. Hepburn. chief OF the Bn-
reau of Street Cleaning in Philadelphla,
said today that from all reports this
city is away ahead of Baltimore, Wash
ingtop and New York in getting ITS
streets opened after the heavy snowfall
of the last few days.
"Eyery street in the snow removal
district is now OPEN said Mr.. hep
burn 'Our work beBe is so per cent
complete and in three more days we
expect to have it 100 per cent.
1T have talked to men who have been
in New York, Baltimore and Washing
,ton in the last twenty four hours. All
Snxpressed surprise at the progress made
in Philadelphia. One man coming from
New York said he did not expect to be
able to get his automobile to Broad
Street Station to meet him, so had not
sent for it. Senator Ware told me his
brother had been in Baltimore yesterday
and had scarcely been able to get away
from Union Station in an automobile.
, 1--WE got little earlier start at the
work than the other big cities which
were affected by the snow. Unless more
snow comes we hope to be back to nor
NAL conditions soon. And If it SHOWS
again-why, we'll keep right on
New York Is TrolIeyless
While trolley service here has been
restored to virtually normal conditions.
and the streets in the principal part OF
the city opened to vehicular traffic, New
York today finds itself a trolleyless,
truckloss city.
All day yesterday II 900 men worked
trying TO dig New Sork's streets out
of the ice and srow.
Calls were sent for volunteers, and
it was planned to have $4,000 at work
today, with thousands of trucks helping.
Mayor Hylan issued an order last
night forbidding commercial trucks to
use the streets today. Owners OF
pleasure cars likewise have been asked
to keep their machines in their garages
for the present.
The snow blockade has stopped in
dustry in many parts of the city, cs
pecially along the docks. The great
army of snow shoveIers kept at work
Yesterday was recruited largely from
workers who otherwise would have been
idle.
Truck Service Limited
The only trucks permitted on New
York's streets today were those needed
for the delivery of food, coal and news
papers. Owners of many private trucks,
which could not be used otherwise,
turned them over TO the city or to
the snow removal contractors TO aid
in the fight on the snow.
New York's trolley troubles were
largely due to the fact that the motive
mower is underground, and reached
through a slot between the tracks. Not
only were the slots iammed with ice and
snow. but the conduit boxes also were
frozen solid. Unless there is a decided
thaw. it is feared that the conduits will
have TO be thawed out foot by foot on
every line before the cars can run again.
Men and women helped fight the snow
Yesterday. Even in fashionable resi-
dence neighborhoods. householders
formed "snow parties" and attacked
the snow in front of their homes with
packs and shovels. dmuping it into
nearby sewer manholes.
