CITIZENS URGED
TOREMOVE SNOW
AppeaIs Made for Aid to Mu-
nicipaI Authorities in
Clearing Cutters.

Appeals to the people of Washing
ton to aid the municipal authorities
in removing the snow from sewers
and cutters in their respective neigh
borhoods were made today by COM
mittees of public-spirited citizens.
Members Of this committee, whose
names were not given out for publica-
ton, have made a survey in certain
residential sections of the northwest
and found snow in the cutters and
around the sewers as deep as five
feet, making it virtually impossible
for water to run off in the event of
a thaw.
1t was pointed out that while gangs
of municipal employees are busy re-
moving snow from the streets and
cutters, they are confining their ac-
tivities solely to the business section.
Consequently, the residential areas of
the city will be exposed to possible
floods if warm weather causes thaw
in the snow-bound cutters and sewers
In an effort to warn the people of
the seriousness of the failure to re-
move the snow from the sewers and
cutters, the committee members are
making a canvass today of homes in
the northwest section. They also
have requested Postmaster Merritt o.
Chance and police captains in the
various precincts to aid them in their
work by having the men in their
charge appeal to the residents on
their respective routes to clear the
cutters and sewers.

previous design has been able to do
and which it was said would add
greatly to the safety of flying.
