:. People who went to shows las, night emerged from the places of amusement 10 find the thorough fare clogged. Fighting against great odds, however. the Connecti- cut company managed to meet all demands while motorists drove carefully homeward. In many instances, however, automobiles were stalled in various sections of the city due to the depth of the snow.
 More than foot of snow fell in Waterbury during the storm. Tho snow, binding motorists, ere ated a dangerous condition. Scores of autos were left aban- doned in various parts of the city and garages were crammed full Of careful motorists who left their vehicles in safety rather than at tempt to battle the storm.
 Trolley service in Waterbury and vicinity was considerably slowed up between II and 12 o'clock last night while the storm was at its ; height when three trolley cars were derailed almost at the same time. One of the cars left the tracks at the corner of Cooke and Homer streets while in Water vile, also, at the corner of Shef- field street, another car left the rails. This served to slow up the Waterville service considerably, but coming at such a late hour the Connecticut company was able to meet the emergency while repair crews busied themselves placing the electrics back on the tracks.
 T tI at in Naugatuck at Kennedy's corner when a trolley car. bound from this city to New Haven, went off the tracks. This crippled Waterbury, New Haven trolley communication and also hampered traffic along the main highway. The New Haven Waterbury line via Ches- hire was kept open. All trolley cars were running behind schedule.
 Busses were also forced to run behind schedule but no accidents we're reported from this source. On the Baldwin street line q bus be- came stuck in the drifting snow and the rear end of the vehicle was burst while the driver strained the vehicle to the utmost of its strength in an effort to "carry on for the benefit of his passengers.
 This morning. shortly after mid night, crews of men with blows and track sWeepers, were on all the trolley lines of the city clearing inc rails. The result was that when service was resumed later in the morning or, in other words, early today, the trolley schedules were back to normal
 The same can be said for the bus service except in one or two instances where busses became stalled in drifts on side streets moi yet cleared of snow by the city and Connecticut Company workers. The bus service was slowed up this morning, but was back to nor maj before noon.
 Superintendent of Streets Thomas j. Fleming threw force of ap- proximately 300 men into the bat tie early this morning in an effort

to clear the city thoroughfares Twenty extra trucks were pressed into service and eight motor blows of the street department forced their way through drifts to cleas the way for motor traffic. The sanding machine of the city was kept in reserve this morning Tn case freezing sets in and creates slippery conditions on the streets of the municipality. The snow loader of the department was not in use today.
 Of the 300 men at work, about 200 of them represented regular employees of the street department who were drafted from sewer and street grading work to the job of clearing away the snow. The re- maining 100 were hired extra for the snow job. The unemployed forces of the city were also busily engaged about the city aiding in removing the snow.
 Towards noon the city began to get back to normal as far as traffic is concerned although early this morning automobiles on the streets were very scarce. Trolley cars were IOducU WllIl pdSScISSlS Sdi y this morning because motorists left their autos at home and extra cars were run on every line to meet the demand for service.
 Officials of the local division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company today termed the storm the worst from a traffic standpoint that has been experienced in the past two win ters. The railroad records showed that the storm was at It's height between midnight at 3 o'clock this morning and abated an hour later. The temperature at the height Of the storm was 30 degrees and 1t later dropped to 26 degrees at $40 a. m. This morning the tempera- ture continued to rise but freeze is expected this evening and this means slippery conditions on both sidewalks and highways.
 The local division of the railroad felt the storm most on the line be- tween Waterbury and Winsted where the snow, quite dry, difted easily with the wind. As a result trains running in and out Of Wa terbury to and from Winsted were about 10 minutes late. The first train out of here for Hartford was also 10 minutes late and the same was the case for the first train from here to New York. The snow bothered the signal towers of the railroad somewhat and this was re-

 Throughout the night crews of the the telephone and power com- panies were kept busy controlling their respective Waterbury terri tories.
 The police department reported that despite the very severe storm

Among the citations which COM

following from the Bible: For
We have not an high priest which
cannot be touched with the feel
