 On Tuesday part of the men now employed by the street department were engaged in collecting ashes and garbage from the business district, but the operation was so difficult that MT. Fox deemed it advisable not to att tempt to collect the ashes from the residential districts for few days. The work of the men for the next few days will be in ridding the streets of the snow, and after that attention will be devoted to the ashes.

Removal of Snow Costs City $500 a Day

Washington square to Burnham square has now been ridded of snow, one side of Franklin street to Boswell avenue has been cleared and work on Water street was started on Tuesday. A gang of men will start today to clear up the snow in the Thames square section of the city and along West Main street to Washington square.
 In regard to the collection of ashes, Mir Fox said that during this time people would greatly aid the work If they would shovel paths to their ash barrels or would roll their barrels to the curb. Norwich is practically the only cisy in the staet where the men have to get the barrels from dooryards and. return them after they are eziiptied.
 The average cost per man is about $35o per day and with 12 teams and one auto truck employed expenses at tributive to the snow and ice will be the largest in many years.
