now considering whether to have

persons who have violated the Dis
trict,s snow removal law or whether
to only issue one warrant and make

Beginning at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. which marked the eight

stopped falling, the various police
precinct captains were notified to go
out and make a canvas OF their ter.
ritory and list the names Of all resi-.
dences where the snow had not been
removed.
Hard Task for Police.
It is understood that the police had
q great deal of difficulty in making
the canvas, and that they were not
strict. That is. where they found the
family home they HfinOed them off,
and the pavements were Immediately
cleaned.
Most of the reports made to the
Corporation Counsel were in cases
where no one could be found at home

As soon as Hacker received the
names of persons who had violated
the law. from the police headquarters.
he sent some of his force out to these
addresses and cleaned the pavements
off This charge will be added to the

TO more than so or IS cents.
