WEEKEND STORM
 BLANKETS CITY
Traffic Menaced By Haz= ardOus Condition of
 Streets

A weekend Snowstorm that came on the anniversary of the blizzard of 1884 covered the city with a slippery coating several inches deep yesterday, making traffic hazardous. Despite the dangerous going, police reported that the only accidents which occurred were of minor na- ture.
 Travelling was still risky today, as an icy glaze formed over the snow. Street department crews were busy sanding icy streets and removing snow.
 storm, began early Sunday morning, starting first as sleet. It soon turned to snow, and strong wind arose, sending the snow into large drifts in many sections. The snow was welcomed by winter sports addicts, and coasting and skiing were enjoyed in many place in and near the city yesterday.
 Street department workers began sanding main streets early yesterday and kept at their task all day long. Many streets about the city were impossible, and dozens of cars were stuck in drifts and on icy slopes.
 Electric and telephone companies reported no trouble resulting from the storm. Buses were slowed up somewhat by the treacherous con- dition of the streets, but no diffi- culty was reported in following schedules.

STATE ENFORCING
 NEW REGULATIONS
Drinking Fountains, Cups Placed Under Ban of
 Health Authorities

The state department of health calls the attention of the public and all interested officials to re- vised regulation concerning drink ing cups and drinking fountains, promulgated by the public health council and now effective. The re- vised regulation now definitely pro- vides that in the cases of drinking water facilities made available in schools, hotels, factories, stores, theaters and other places to which the public has access, not only must individual cups or drinking fountains be provided, but such drinking fountains must be sani- tary and in keeping with specifca- tions laid down in the revision.
 Reason for the change is that in the period of transition from the old drinking cup to fountains, the latter in many cases have not been of sanitary type. Vertical jets where the water from the mouths of users falls back on the nozzle have been common and many drinking foun- tains have been constructed so that the mouths and noses of persons using the fountain actually come in contact with the nozzle. Modern, ap- proved, sanitary drinking fountains are so constructed that slanting jets and guards prevent contamination of the water by users of the foun- tain. Another failing of the foun- tains in the past has been lack of drainage facilities to prevent foul ing.
