 After the resolution was laid aside MT. Gould took the oath and signed the roll, Senator Walsh sent his resolution 10 the clerk of the senate. It said that 1t would not be consistent for the senate to pass unnoticed these charges of such grave character" The resolution said it had been reported that MT. Gould had been charged with paying s1o0,000 to trusted officials of the province in connection with a rail- road contract.

 The resolution concluded by re- questing the senate elections con- mittee to investigate the charges and report what action was warranted.
 The text of the Walsh resolution follows:

Indeed, I can see no other reason why he should have paid 1t.

 Employes of the department of public works this afternoon rounded out a 24-hour fight against rolling banks of snow that accumulated over the weekend while the city was experiencing the heaviest first snowfall of any season in more than 25 years, which in places showed depth of 10 to 12 inches.
 Superintendent Thomas Kearney, his entire force of foremen and many laborers late this afternoon were keeping up an uninterrupted drive which opened st 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon after 1t had be- come apparent that speedy action was necessary to keep the more im- portant arteries of travel open.
 Prepare for More Snow
 City Manager Joseph D. Williams supervised the work from his of fee and, after the highways most extensively used had been made traversible blows were detailed to make another "cut" in the banks remaining at the sides as a safe guard against serious tie-ups in the event of a succeeding storm. The common practice has been to send blows up and down each street, making two "cuts," sufficiently wide to allow two vehicles to pass. When q second storm has followed. diff culty has been experienced in ind ing a place to pile the second fall of snow. The wider "cuts" prepares for this eventuality. Engineer Will Hams explained today.
 Trolley Flows on Job
 SuptW. J. Bryan of the Connecti- cut Co. ordered his blowing crews out on the lines at l:30 yesterday afternoon and they continued on duty through the night. A sched- uIe of systematic runs over the en- tire system kept all lines open.
 Slight difficulties due to weather conditions and automobiles stalled in the right-o caused some minor Interruptions, but for the most part cars arrived and departed on time.
 Bus Routes Open
 Bus routes were plowed by the city workmen early in the day for the convenience of Natrons of these lines who must depend on this mode of travel and service was continu- ous. The two large public service companies reported their cabs to be in almost constant use, and taxicabs of other companies drew their share of flares" who elected to ride rath- CT than trudge through heavy snows an face biting winds.
 A furry of flakes in the late hours of Friday night and Saturday morn ing heralded the approach of the storm. Blanketing the ground in white, the fall stopped Saturday morning only to recur in the late afternoon for "4 hours of almost continuous downfall. The ther- mometer took a sudden drop Sat- urday and high winds accompanied the opening of the storm reaching it's greatest velocity in the early aft ernoon yesterday.
