 The Connecticut company. having bucked the ice all night long in order to save their line from being tied up. were rewarded Monday morning by tbeing able to keep their cars running regularly and | on time right through to North Grosven- l ordale, and there was no delay in service l until the noon hour. when broken limbs i that came down at Mechanicssille inter fered with the service for few minutes and threw the cars off schedule time.
 While the effort to keep the line open was being made during the late hours of Sunday night and early Monday morning the car crews had a time of it. With two trolley poles up the cars managed to scrape enough ice off the overhead wires to allow of operation but so much power was required that the interiors of the cars were left in darkness. At times the overhead wires were covered with ap proximately one-half inch coating of ice. l During the forenoon hours of Monday the roofs of the cars were covered two inches deep with shaved ice falling from the overhead wires.
 Comparatively few motoring accidents were reported as the result of the storm. l The great majority of drivers adopted l the wise policy of getting to their garages l as quickly as possible and leaving their machines there. Those who found it | necessary to stay out during Sunday l night operated with extreme caution. | Some Massachusetts automobile parties l abandoned efforts to get to their home 1 towns Sunday night and remained in this city.
