That the ordinary. fnnocent-ap-

capable Of igniting gas and thus

Dear Mr.. Chairman: While all

TERRIBLE theater disaster, 1 never

snow cleaning law in the District.
at has been five days since the
cessation of the recent big snow
fan and still sidewalks are covered
up with snow, cutters are damned
with snow so as to make ponds OF
the city streets, street crossings are
running with water and slush and
in general locomotion for the
pedestrian is not only a hazard
but constitutes a decided health
menace.
The condition of the streets
with their. snow and ice hummocks
is certainly a sad commentary on
any community, much less the Ma
tional Capital
Immediate Action Urged.
surely the need Is great enough
for immediate action In the passage
Of a law enforcing the cleaning OF
snow and ice, not only upon the
business house and the householder
but certainly arrangements should
be made whereby the District Com
nissioners could meet such Ar
emergency as just arose. The same
sort of emergency fund could be
employed in administering to the
needs of the public in the event oi
some other unusual happening.
Il am. conscious OF the fact thai
the recent snowstorm was quite IN.
precedented. but allowing even foi
that IL is hard to conceive that We
should lack legislation such a.
would make IL mandatory, not only
IN clean the sidewalks for the
pedestrian. but also faciiitate the
arteries of motor and horse drawn
vehicles
why is 1t that the government
falls to properly met emergencies
The use of vision Is a necessary
adjunct in all avocations but since
that has not been employed GER
