cess, also, in the extreme west, and

COASTAL STORM
ISDYINC DOWN
I'M NEW YORK AN ARMY TANK
WAS USED TO PUSH STALLED
TROLLEY CARS THROPGH THE
DRIFTS.

New York, Feb. 6.-The gale and
unusually high tides which have lash
ed the North Atlantic coast for the
last two days. accompanied by bliz-
zard which blanketed most of the ter
ritory with snow and ice, were grad
ually subsiding early today, leaving a
trail of destruction and suffering in
their wake.
Estimates of the property damage
run well beyond the two million dollar
mark. A number of vessels were re-
ported in distress and several Long
Island sound steamers were prisoners
in ice jams. The wireless station at
New York police headquarters early
today had received messages from 80
ships at sea asking for location.
Points along the New Jersey coast,
especially Atlantic City and Seabright
were hardest hit. Houses were washed
into the sea and towns partially in
undated. Resorts along the Long
Island shore near New York also were
heavily damaged.
Railroad traffic improved during the
morning, although trains were still
behind in their schedules.
New York was slow to recover from
the blow dealt by the storm king
Traffic conditions were still chaotic
early today and the streets piled high
with snow drifts A shortage of
snow shovelers and the threatened
strike of the few thousand that We're
working agitated the street cleaning
department.
The shortage of coal caused conSid
erable apprehension. Transportation
cOmDaineS said thew had ONLY a few
days supply on hand and that they
would be forced to suspend operations
unless their bunkers We're speedily
replenished. Barges laden with coal
are tied up at Jersey points by ice
floes.
One of the novelties of the storm
was the use of an army tank to push
stalled trolley cars.
