SLOW IN CLEANING SNOW FROM CENTER No Teams Out to Remove Banks
 From CurbS for Autos READY FOR RECEPTION
Water Situation Clearing Up--Lceion Auxiliary Installation - Hearings On Strects--Plainyille Briefs.

There has been no effort made since the heavy fall of snow last Tuesday to clear the center of the town as has been the custom in for mer years and merchants and auto ists who have occasion to park their cars in or about the center are com plaining of conditions. The snow is banked heavily along all the curbs and 1t is impossible for an automo- { bile to get close 10 the curb without either being stuck or being in danger of splitting pinion gear in the rear end with the hard pull to get ' into the roadway again.
 1 Tn former years, little delay was experienced in having a gang Of men out around working on the snow and carting 1t off to places where Il would not be in the way, but this year, in the absence of First Select man William J. Johnson, the work has been delayed in starting. It fl | thought that the remaining select ' men will start on the work irhmedl' ately to relieve condition whicf has become serious. S
 The greatest danger in parking along the road is to automobiles which cannot get in close enough tt allow the trolley cars 10 pass by an' many a bdy on machine has beel scraped, The fact that the snow fall in itself was heavy and thel added to its volume was the larg amount shoveled off the sidewalk has only made matters worse an' many will complain if measures ar not taken to relieve the congestion I the center at least.
