NEW CASTLE. Feb. 16. - From
early yesterday morning until late /
last night and again this morning. /
considerable difficulty was expert 7
enced with telephone and trolley
service. Few rural telephone lines ,
were In operation yesterday, being
broken by the heavy accumulation
Of sleet. The line men Of the Bell
Telephone Company were kept busy
endeavoring TO re-establish commu-
nications.
Trolley cars Of the Wilmington
Philadelphia Traction Company op-
Grating between this city and Della
ware City had considerable difficulty
in making their runs, few being OPP
Grated on schedule. AS fast as one
car passed over the line, the feed
wires would become loaded again
with sleet. In one Instance trolley
man was forced to ride to top OF the
car. hitting the feed wire. breaking
the sleet from Il. so the car could
get current. He was kept in this po-
sSion nearly all the way TO Della
Ware city Little trouble was expe-
rienced from the snow which fell
during tke early morning, but the
rain. which succeeded the snowfall.
made things more than uncomfort-
able for both passengers and crews.
Not alone was trouble experienced
by line men OF both the trolley and
telephone company, but the roads
leading between the main thorough
fares. state road and the Whining
ton-New Castle road which have
not been opened for travel since the
blizzard of two weeks ago. were
again choked. causing the milk men
coming from a distance TO go sew
eral miles out Of their way TO get to
town. Pavements that had been
cleared of the early morning snow
were soon covered with a thin coat
ing OF ice making il difncult for pc
destrlans to get TO various parts Of
the city. No personal injuries were
reported up 20 noon today, as the
result OF the weather conditions.
